Illini n Milwaukee did an outstanding job at starting two of the most popular threads on this board. With an appreciative nod to him and in the spirit of starting new threads, here are a few faces from the NFL of the past:

Staring Down Defeat

Mile High Profile

Calling the plays

Thanks, Illini n Milwaukee!

Let's not forget the beautiful Howie Long. He's still beautiful if you ask me.

I still have an obsessive crush on that handsome man!

Bittersweet ending to Bledsoe's career in New England.
He would have been regarded by fans fondly had he retired then.
Instead, he went on to suck big time in Buffalo, then Dallas.


Classic Bledsoe Dropback, before the sack.

Drop Dead Gorgeous Drew (ignore the brother and the old man)

Now that is so cold!

Little known fact: Johnny Unitas had a really cute butt

And those old-fashioned unis actually did show it off, with that sexy shirttail stuffed in.

Ah, the good ole days, when the Colts were in Balt'mer, crabs were plenaful, and fresh ersters were so common a poor man could stuff himself on 'em.

Jim Harbaugh - Hottie then, hottie now.



Houston Oiler "Commander" Cody Carlson - so hot with the thinning blonde hair.

Now:

This is the reason I became a Patriot fan in the first place...
Craig James

I spent the weekend with his wife once YEARS ago....She and her sister were friends with my sister at SMU, we all went down to Galveston for a long weekend....
No, Craig wasn't there....





Always liked seeing Mike Webster's huge arms busting out of his jersey even in the coldest of Pittsburgh winters...

mine would be...

steve young
drew bledsoe

troy aikman

john elways photo above resembles dallas stars' mike modano.

Oh what a hot pic of vintage Terry Bradshaw above. I always thought Terry was a hottie both in and out of his Steelers uniform!

i also add doug flutie.

Oh, yeah, I'd love to do......uh.....ADD Doug Flutie as well!



Either the younger days.....








Or older. He just got better with age!









and a few more Doug.


Always liked to think he was short cuz he didn't waste his inches on his height! lol

doug flutie has an amazing hairy chest.

very sexy.

And definitely don't forget that legendary Bronco Ed McCaffrey.

He was not only a great wide receiver(and I'm a Panthers fan!), but, IMHO, one of the best looking men ever to put on a football uniform!

didn't know doug is so fuzzy. yummy. doug is listed at 5'10 right? maybe he didn't waste his inches on his height. hehehehe

look at this photo of doug, i think this was taken during the 2005-06 season.


still hot.

and who can forget when he successfully attempted the drop kick on his last NFL season.

Here's Daryl for you, Lex

i remember watching super bowl XXX and i thought the crowd were booing him but they were moosing him instead. hehehe. thanks for the pic.

up for this thread

Some of my favorite NFL alumni hunks include Broadway Joe Namath, Joe Theismann, Bruce Matthews,Dan Pastorini, Mark Gastineau, Jim Kelly, Jim McMahon, and the late Lyle Alzado.

Drew is also getting better with age. The pats just assigned his number to a rookie.

With football coming just around the corner, I had to revive this post:

Some of my NFL hunks of yesteryear:

Terry Bradshaw (Steelers)
Jack Lambert (Steelers)
Jon Kolb (Steelers)
Jack Youngblood (Rams)
Kevin Greene (Rams, Steelers, Panthers)
Rulon Jones (Broncos)
Karl Mecklenburg (Broncos)
John Elway (Broncos)
Bart Oates (Giants)
Howie Long (Raiders)
Troy Aikman (Cowboys)
Daryl Johnston (Cowboys)
Bob Lilly (Cowboys)
Mark Schlereth (Redskins, Broncos)
Ray Childress (Oilers)
Bruce Matthews (Oilers)

Troy Aikman throwing out a ceremonial first pitch at a Padres game.





He's still pretty hot - IMO.

up for this thread.

Not sure what happened to my previous Drew Bledsoe post but here are some more pics.



Not quite shirtless but almost there...


This particular pic of Drew makes him look like Matt Ryan.


With Brady in 2001 when he was injured. Nice bulge.

Bledsoe has aged well. And a stable family life probably has a lot to do with it since his career has not exactly skyrocketed. He has a lot of good memories though, like this 2001 AFC trophy:



Unfortunately, like a lot of Americans with big bank accounts and little investment savvy, he got caught up in some nasty financial schemes due to some bad advice.

Hopefully he, and his family, can afford it. But the good causes he supported may suffer.

Like a fine wine...better with age

Don Meredith R.I.P.

I posted a pic of Jim Harbaugh earlier in this thread.

Here's another one of newly named 49er head coach.

I've thought of another hunk of yesteryear...
Stan Humphries of the San Diego Chargers. He was chipmunk cute.

My partner worked with him at one point in the food business a couple of years back....Said he was a really nice guy...

definitely worth the wait for this. shirtless kurt warner during his rams days. a bit chunkier but i don't care.

credit to the photo owner.

damm i've been waiting for that shirtless kurt warner pic for a decade! love the hairy chest! woof!!!

mets: i wonder how his body looks now since he did slim down when he went to the cards. still, he looked good even when he's chunky.

i loved kurt as a ram, when he came to NY, and as a cardinal.

his two super bowl losses broke my heart!

Bless you Lex for the Kurt Warner find. He had a nice bod. Gotta love a guy in just a towel.

one of those loses happens to be against my team (patriots) though i was rooting for him over the steelers.

Stumbled upon this the other day...can't imagine a calendar like this getting to press today. Hmmm...somehow it seems the NFL has become more prudish since 1993. Though, as evident in the cover, the proto-compression shorts gave most of the Hitters a bad case of Ken-crotch. Posted these on the 1001 Football Heroes site...here are the first 7. Enjoy!




January: Robert Awalt
Denver Broncos TE, 6' 5", 235 lbs
Another funny thing about these proto-compression shorts...on some of the guys (like here) they kinda look like grandma girdles.



February: Ken O'Brien
New York Jets QB, 6' 4", 210 lbs



March: Roger Craig
Minnesota Vikings RB, 6' 1", 210 lbs



April: Riki Ellison
Los Angeles Raiders LB, 6' 2", 230 lbs



May: Junior Seau
San Diego Charges LB, 6' 3", 250 lbs



June: Dennis Smith
Denver Broncos FS, 6' 3" lbs




Here are the last 6....


July: Steve Wright
Los Angeles Raiders DT, 6' 6", 280 lbs



August: Rod Woodson
Pittsburgh Steelers CB, 6' 0", 197 lbs



September: James Thorton
Chicago Bears TE, 6' 2", 242 lbs



October: Tommy Vardell
Cleveland Browns FB, 6' 2", 238 lbs



November: Steve Young
San Francisco 49ers QB, 6' 2", 200 lbs



December: Anthony Newman
Los Angeles Rams FS, 6' 0", 210 lbs

Okay, he only just retired a few years ago, but he did start his pro career in the mid 90's. Does that qualify as yesteryear? He's a hunk for sure though.

CHRISTIAN FAURIA
Tight End - famously for the Pats when they won a few of their titles, now ESPN College Football analyst

TODAY: How HOT is he!

He just recently retired but Matt Stover, formerly of Baltimore, looks damn good.
