What was the relationship like between the players and cheerleaders?
Was there mutual respect? The cheerleaders have very strict rules. One is no fraternization with the players. Now, I heard a couple of things in the dressing room from time to time (laughs). But no, it was really like we don’t date the players. 7. Who were some of your favorite players? I wasn’t in it that deep, but I remember having fun with Michael Irvin once during training camp. It’s the only time that the Cowboys are actually on the sidelines and see the cheerleaders’ performance. Normally, they’re in the dressing room or whatever. I remember afterwards Michael Irvin walked up to me afterwards and said, “Jill, what time is it?” He had two Rolexes on his arm. That was kind of funny, but I didn’t really have any favorites. I remember Nate Newton was really nice. 8. Who’s sexier, football players or basketball players? Basketball players! Everything is so hidden with football players — their faces, everything. But with basketball players, sometimes they’re taller and they look great
