Stephanie Branton Canadian Playmate Stephanie Branton is Playboy’s Miss September 2014. The blonde beauty grew up on the scenic island of Newfoundland, following in the footsteps of fellow Newfie Playmates Shannon Tweed and Danielle House. The lack of opportunities for a modeling career in her hometown pushed Branton to make the move to Toronto, where she began quite a career for herself. She modeled for print, shot commercials and appeared in music videos. The future Playmate got her break when she landed a gig at a Playboy Golf event and was approached by casting directors. They asked if she was already a Playmate, and when they found out she wasn’t they told her she should pose for photographer Josh Ryan in Los Angeles. Branton jumped on the opportunity. She packed up her life in Canada and made her way to Los Angeles to see what Playboy had in store for her. Branton started off as a Coed for Playboy, shooting several pictorials and videos. She was featured in Playboy’s “Northern Star” series with other Canadian Playboy models and Playmates. It didn’t take long for Branton to be made Miss September 2014, and she said she couldn’t be more excited to join the Playmate family. Stephanie on Instagram

Mick Tingelhoff Tingelhoff attended the University of Nebraska. He earned three letters during his football career there, but did not become a starter until his senior season in 1961. Mick was a co-captain of that 1961 team, which had its biggest offensive output in over five seasons. Tingelhoff participated in the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama and in the All-American Bowl after the regular season was over. fter graduating from Nebraska, Tingelhoff entered the 1962 NFL Draft but was not drafted and instead signed with the Minnesota Vikings as a free agent in 1962. He became their starting center during his rookie season and held that spot until he retired in 1978. He was an AP First Team All-Pro selection for the first of five times in 1964 and also began a streak of six straight Pro Bowl appearances (1964–1969) that season. In 1967, he was named First Team All-Pro by Newspaper Enterprise Association and UPI and Second Team All-Pro by the AP. In 1969, he was named the NFL's Top Offensive Lineman of the Year by the 1,000-Yard Club in Columbus, Ohio. In 1970, he was named First Team All-Pro by both the PFWA and Pro Football Weekly. He was also named Second Team All-Pro by Newspaper Enterprise Association. He was named First Team All-NFC for that season by the AP. Tingelhoff was one of 10 players to have played in all four Vikings Super Bowl appearances in the 1970s, and is generally considered the best center of his era.
