It’s more than a sideline, featuring Raiderette Tori

Today, photos of Tori of the Oakland Raiderettes, with a few fun facts, to boot:

1) Tori is in her fourth season with the Raiderettes
2) Tori is 100% NFL approved Fabulous!
3) Tori describes herself as a tomboy
4) According to the Barnhart Concise Dictionary of Etymology, the noun “tomboy” (formed by joining the male name Tom and the word “boy”) was coined sometime before 1553, and meant a boy who was rude or boisterous. By 1592 it was applied to girls, and that’s been its meaning ever since.
5) Tom Flores coached the Raiders to two Super Bowl wins, and he and Mike Ditka are the only two people in the NFL to win championships as a player, assistant coach, and head coach
6) Tommy Boy is a 1995 American road comedy film directed by Peter Segal
7) The Raiders moved back to Oakland in 1995 (can it be almost 20 years?!)
8 ) Tori loves to laugh
9) Researchers at Vanderbilt University found adults burn an average of 1.3 calories per minute while laughing with their friends. That’s about the same number of calories you burn while taking notes in a classroom or standing and talking on the phone. But laughter has other benefits besides burning calories, including relief of emotional stress and a workout for the muscles of the diaphragm, abdomen, back, and shoulders.
10) The Tory political faction emerged within the Parliament of England to uphold the legitimist rights of James, Duke of York to succeed his brother Charles II to the throne in the 1600’s
11) Tori is co-owner of a day care/preschool for kids up to age five
