WATCH: Kate Upton plays football in sky-high heels

Kate Upton may play coy about whether she’s dating Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez, but the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover girl was not shy about showing off her own football skills yesterday during an appearance on “Fox & Friends.”

Upton graciously accepted the show’s football challenge, despite wearing a Chanel jacket, black skintight jeans and a pair of sky-high Christian Louboutins. Standing alongside New York Giants’ defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul, Upton was tasked with tossing a football into a tiny net. She confidently picked up a football, cradled it and tossed it. But while her spiral was respectable, it was not enough to make Sanchez proud. She missed the net.

When Pierrre-Paul missed his toss, Upton tried again saying, “I got this.” She, however, did not hit the mark.

Later in the afternoon, Upton got herself into more comfortable gear — workout leggings, a t-shirt and sneakers — at Susan Sarandon’s ping pong club SPiN New York for an event promoting charity Fitness Without Borders, sponsored by AXE Sport Blast 2-in-1 Shower Gel and Shampoo.

But sports-loving Upton changed back into her Chanel jacket and Louboutins before appearing courtside at last night’s New York Knicks game.
