Tuesday's P.M. Hot Clicks: Cardboard Cutouts of Athletes
Athletes In Cardboard
Athletes in Cardboard
I was enjoying another delicious lunch from the Time Inc. caf when I came across this story about a New Jersey woman and her Bradley Cooper cardboard cutout. Danielle Davies, a mother of two, went to Villanova with Cooper and now brings his cardboard likeness along to the grocery store, the mall and even on jogs around her neighborhood. She documents it all on her Instagram account, aptly titled, "My Life With Bradley Cooper." Of course, cardboard cutouts have become de rigueur for sports fans, and Davies' obsession with Cooper is a good excuse for me to create a gallery of Athletes In Cardboard.

Michigan superfan Larry Pietrangelo easily has the best collection of Wolverines tattoos this side of Ann Arbor, but he took it to another level in 1997 by inking a block M on his forehead to win tickets to that year's Michigan-OSU game. In a cruel twist, he lost the contest and has had to live with the consequences.
