Kesher Talk

Another Jewish centerfold: Anita Marks plays football, talks sports, and of course, poses in Playboy.

She is also doing commercial endorsements alongside Miami's professional Jewish quaterback, Jay Fiedler. ''A city with two Jewish quarterbacks? It's the first time ever, and it's pretty unique,'' she said.

Marks, 32, said people always want to make a shidduch (match up) between the two athletes. Alan Posner, the CEO for ChampionLyte, even invited both of them to his Passover Seder.

''I had a dream about Jay Fiedler,'' Marks told her co-host on her 7-9 a.m. radio program. ''We were at Alan Posner's house for Seder. And I leaned over and whispered in Jay's ear and said . . .'' She pauses to increase the anticipation, then purrs, ' `Pass me the gefilte fish.' ''

While she doesn't think she is changing views on women in sports with her play on the field or talk on the radio, she hopes she can open some eyes. Her photo spread might help.

''It's very tastefully done,'' Marks said about her upcoming, seven-page pictorial. ``It's really cool and there are some very artistic shots.''
