Brooklyn Decker "Burst Into Tears" Seeing SI Swimsuit Cover

How did Brooklyn Decker react when she learned that she landed her first-ever Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover?
"I burst into tears like a child," she said on Monday's Today show. "It's really exciting. It's just now hitting me, so I am really happy."
The 22-year-old North Carolina-raised model - who has posed for the magazine for the past five years (last year, she wore nothing but body paint) - said she feels like "the New Orleans Saints did Sunday night."
Landing the coveted cover is "the equivalent of a model winning the MVP or the Super Bowl," she added. (Click here to see Decker and the other stunning SI swimsuit models.)
She said she doesn't even remember slipping into the yellow bikini she wears on the cover.

"I have no memory of that shot," said Decker, whose cover was first unveiled Monday on the Late Show With David Letterman. "For me, I didn't remember, and that is what's so nice about it -- it's one of those natural, nice organic moments."
How does her husband, tennis pro Andy Roddick, feel about it?
"I think he basically takes the reign in the locker room for the next year or so," she said. "I think he has good bragging rights."

Joking aside, she said he's "very proud. He knows it's a goal of mine. To see me succeed, and to see each other succeed, it's really exciting."
Roddick, 27, could barely contain his excitement on Twitter. "so happy/proud of my wife..." he wrote. "the new cover for sports illustrated swimsuit issue!!!! unreal... so excited!!!!!!!!!!"

Congratulations Brooklyn on the front cover of SI and your marriage to my favorite tennis pro. You both have it going in the right direction
A dream come true? You'd think she discovered a cure for AIDS or something relevant. Modeling is hardly a profession. Call it what it is -- taking your clothes off. I guess some people are just limited with their "aspirations."
i agree it's like showing your bod to a bunch of creepy guys. but it is an accomplishment, it is a big deal to make the cover, well done to her
oh ya'll just wish you had her body, though I would like to see more models without their hip bones sticking out...not a good look.
what a s.l.u.t.! is this something to be proud of? this is your accomplisment?! selling your body to horny old men?
Funny thing the picture on the front cover of the USA Today has a little more showing !Like on her right breast-ummm whats up with that?
Looks like five years of removing her clothes finally paid off.
Why would a person cry happyness over being more than half naked on a magazine cover? Is this really something to cry about? Why is this considered an accomplishment? lol. I don't get it....:S
Brooklyn's accomplishment in life is to marry a wealthy athlete and got this photoshopped cover. Pinnacle of her life.
oh, boy...someone please tell this b*tch to shut up.
And her accomplishment in life is what exactly?
Even with SI Swim cover wife, Andy Roddick can't see Roger Federer's face straight. He is the father of twin and won 16 slams. Federer said that his wife changed her and he starts being calm and winning a lot. Brooklyn Decker is taking the fame of Andy Roddick who is declining and balding!!
READ THE TRUTH...... Jodi Kreider is a SHE DEVIL"". Her name should be Aunt JUDAS"" NOT Aunt JODI". How could she do the things she did to the Mother of Nieces and Nephews she claimed to LOVE ???"" She is a HEARTLESS Witch" .. It was ALWAYS about the all MIGHTY $$$$$$ ...Aunt Jodi/Judas collected Thousands from the Haters. She is like JIM JONES, ....But Jodi/Judas serves her Famous .... """KATE HATEORADE""" !!! She is now being investigated by the FBI and the IRS, While""""" JON GOSSELIN """"" is being called in by the 'NYPD' district attorneys office for filing a FALSE report."" Jon had a Epiphany and decided to allow TLC to film his children?? Jon used his children as Pawns for $$$$, He never cared about their well being....JON AND AUNT JODI/JUDAS }} Their EVIL WAYS AND LIES are Catch.ing up to them.
Congratulations Brooklyn! She looks AMAZING!!! Brooklyn deserved this cover as it's her 4th or 5th time shooting for SI. To all the ppl that think it's cliche having a blonde haired, blue eyed girl on the cover, she deserves it! SI really does use a range of girls of different race and nationality. Maybe next year will be the year for one of the exotic girls to be on the cover.

I thought maybe she burst into tears after seeing the cover because she was embarrassed that she was way more naked than she realized during the shoot. Why didn't they just give her pasties? I mean, all the beer-bellied armchair quarterbacks will be getting sweaty looking at the cover while they aggrivate their carpel tunnel syndrome. It's one step away from Playboy.
