First And Oh!

During the NFL playoffs, FOX Sports Net’s Lisa Dergan could go…all…the…way!

Stuff, January 2003

By Mike Olson

Watching professional sports doesn’t have to be boring. For example, the next time the big game is on TV, pretend you’re doing something fun. Or just be on the lookout for any show Lisa Dergan is on. Lisa—or Dergie as she’s called by good friends and interviewers pretending they’re on a friendly basis with her—went from a successful modeling career (including a campaign for Guess?) to the pages of Playboy. Soon Dergie was cohosting the brain-bending game show Smush with that little scamp Ken Ober, popping up on an episode of Frasier and even appearing on the big screen as a Druid maiden in The Arena, a self-proclaimed “spectacle of combat, orgy and death.” But now Lisa is where she belongs, giving updates on the hugely popular NFL Show, covering the PGA tour for FOX Sports and even writing a golf column for FoxSports.com. If all this isn’t enough, now you can find her in your local liquor store (or at least a cardboard likeness of her) as the new St. Pauli Girl. Yep. Lisa’s riding quite a wave. And, like it or not, we’re hopping on!

STUFF: You know, when I first saw your pictures, you looked so beautiful that I actually got a little angry. Is that a weird reaction?
LISA: Wow. That’s not fair. Why?

Maybe it was knowing that there are people that attractive in the world.
Well, there’s beauty everywhere you look. It’s what you do with it that matters. I’m very down-to-earth and approachable, which people don’t expect when they see me. I’m just a normal girl.

And you always seem to be really chipper, too.
Isn’t it scary? It’s a happy pill I’m on.

You’re sure it’s not the fact that you don’t eat breakfast and just drink coffee instead? Shame on you, Lisa!
I know. Maybe that’s why people think I’m so happy. It’s just a coffee high. Everybody says to start your day off with a great breakfast, but when I do that I want to crawl back to bed. When I’m running around, coffee is all I crave.

As an interior-design major in college, do you support my decision to paint my bedroom Arizona Tan?
It’s not the color, it’s the technique. I like texture—just a little bit, so it’s subtle. I don’t like it when it looks forced. You picked a nice color, though.

What’s one design rule that all guys should know?
I would say pick up after yourselves or have a great maid. Clutter is out. Less is more.

Speaking of clutter: Back in the day, you designed a bunch of Chili’s restaurants. You must love license plates and vintage tin signs.
It’s not my look, but that’s what I was hired to do. That was in college. They were looking for someone with my degree, and I was so tenacious that I convinced them to let me show them what I could do. So they flew me to Texas to start off with one restaurant. I knocked them over. I think I did 22 restaurants before I’d had enough.

How did you go from laying out theme restaurants to becoming such a big fixture on the pro golf scene?
People knew I was a golfer as soon as it was talked about in Playboy, and that’s what brought all the endorsements my way. It put my name on the map. I started playing in a lot of tournaments that were televised, and I would be the only woman.

When you’re playing in a celebrity tournament, do you have to hang out with annoying people like Matt Lauer and Alice Cooper all day?
It’s a lot of sports guys. And they’re quite good.

Are they? I’m always amazed that spectators don’t get brained by an errant shot.
Would you believe I’ve never seen an injury? Somebody nailed a bird chipping up to the green. That’s about the worst I’ve seen.

Most golfers don’t expect to see a gorgeous woman on the course. Do jaws just drop?
Yes, but isn’t it funny? Why do I have to have that reaction every time I’m out on the golf course? It’s strange that people think that someone who’s more attractive than the norm doesn’t fit in an environment like that. As a kid growing up, the whole focus of my house was grades, school, personality. Nothing about looks was ever emphasized.

How has it been working on The NFL Show with Tony Siragusa, Michael Irvin and Tommy Davidson?
They are so much fun. There is so much energy on the show. They say it’s like the rec room, not the church. And it’s true, because sports is entertainment, and people need to remember that. Those guys are fun.

Even Tommy Davidson? He seems kind of annoying.
Oh, no. He’s hysterical.

Is he always trying to sell P’Zones to you guys?
No. [Laughs]

And now you’re the 2003 St. Pauli Girl. How’s that treating you?
It’s great because they love all the traits I have: down-to-earth, golfer, sportscaster. I’m not representing a beer company that doesn’t get me.

You endorse a beer, yet you maintain a low-carb diet. How does that work?
Everything in moderation.

So you’re not a real partier?
Now, I’m a San Diego State graduate, and we take pride in our partying. But everything is OK in moderation.

Let’s put it this way: When was the last time you tossed your cookies from drinking too much?
That’s gross! Can we move on?

Sure! Let’s talk about golf as a metaphor for sex.
Golf as a metaphor for sex? Let’s think about this.

For instance, you can give mulligans on the golf course, but should you give them in the bedroom?
Golf is a metaphor for everything in life. Here’s something great. Everybody aspires to be a better golfer, right? So who doesn’t aspire to be a better lover?

That’s pretty good. Well, golf also has strict rules. Replace your divots and stuff like that. Are there similar rules for the bedroom?
I think if you’re comfortable with who you are and know who you’re with, you make up the rules as you go.

Awww. You’re “with” director Michael Bay. How’d you guys get together?
You’ve got a lot of dish on me. We met through mutual friends. And we used to always see each other at Starbucks early in the morning. He’d be running off to shoot his movie and I’d be running off to a job. Then later down the road we started dating.

Honestly, did you enjoy his movies, such as Armageddon and Pearl Harbor?
Yes. Michael is, to me, the Steven Spielberg of our generation. He is so incredibly talented.

Would you have the guts to tell him if you thought one of his movies sucked?
Oh, yeah. And you know what? Michael would appreciate my honesty. He’d respect that. I was just on his set last week, and I always tell him, “I like this; I didn’t like that.” He really respects the opinions of others when he’s shooting.

Now that you’re working for St. Pauli Girl, can you send some free stuff to us here in the office?
I’ll send you the six-foot cardboard cutout. It will lift your spirits. Michael already has dibs on one. It’s a full-length head-to-toe. This year they made longnecks, so they wanted to emphasize the fact that my legs are long.

Oh. I didn’t realize that your legs were so long.
Is that another thing that’s going to make you mad?

Actually, yes.

She's kinda cute...

...because she's not stunningly beautiful.
