The lady creating the mesmerizing buzz Friday afternoon was Marisa Miller, the 29-year supermodel who’s been featured in Sports Illustrated’s annual swimsuit editions and Victoria’s Secret lingerie catalogues.

She’s in town to promote the upcoming SI swimsuit issue that comes out Feb. 12. Before attending a party Friday night, she spent a few hours taking with radio talk show hosts and the NFL Total Access television show. She even had a few moments for me.

“This is my fourth time coming to a Super Bowl, and I love it. It’s so incredible,” said Miller, who, on this day, was dressed in a light beige sweater, white blouse, gray jeans and black boots. “It’s one of the perks of being part of the Sports Illustrated team.”

A native of southern California, Miller takes great pride in being one of the most athletic women in the modeling business. She played volleyball in high school. She surfs. Her two favorite sports are football and boxing. If she wasn’t a model, she said, she’d be a sportscaster.

But with looks like hers, it’s no wonder she’s one of her profession’s most photographed women.

“Of course, I’m going to the game Sunday,”Miller said. “I love New York, so I’m kind of rooting for the Giants. But I think the Patriots are going to win.”
