Hiya all,
I'm researching a magazine feature for a sports special later this year and want everyone's input! The topic is 'The Top 50 Sexiest Male Sportsmen Ever'. Doesn't matter which sport they play! But let me have your suggestions and votes!

Thanks

Olympic Athletes: Marion Dragalescu (gymnastics), Roman Sebrle (track and field), Jean Galfione (track and field), Paul Hamm (gymnastics), Jeremy Bloom (moguls skiing),

I am thoroughly appalled that there have already been 15 posts and the name John Lynch has not yet appeared. I'm counting the minutes 'til I get to see both he and Tom Brady on the same field this weekend.

Also, former NBA-ers Jud Buechler and Steve Kerr were WELL worth watching -- even when their teams weren't.

Jim Palmer — I forget which team he played for, but I'll always remember his Jockey underwear ads of the late '80s.

Pat Burrell

John Lynch

Tom Brady

Jeremy Bloom

Baltimore Orioles.

~Adam

Bode Miller - US Skiing is my current fav hottie. I can't believe I forgot to add him to my original listing.

Maybe you were drunk like Bode. wink

volleyball - Eric Fonoimawana (Olympic Gold Medalist)

gymnastics - Blaine Wilson

I'm sure he would prefer to nominate himself, but since he obviously hasn't...

John Zimmerman
Michael Phelp
Juan Carlos Ferrero
Rafael Nadal
David Beckham

Roger Craig (remember his underwear ad?)

Joe Namath (before his drunken years)

Omar Vizquel

Patrick Rafter

Landon Donovan

Ivan Lendl (kidding!)

Tennis - Stefan Edberg, Pat Cash, Pat Rafter, Carlos Moya, Juan Carlos Ferrero, Alex Corretja

Football - Wayne Chrebet, Tom Brady, Joe Montana

Basketball - Dan Majerle, Tony Parker, Manu, Danny Ainge (but that could just be me)

Baseball - I'm coming up empty, but I had such a crush on Aaron Boone

50? Well, let me name some names. Number 1 is Alessandro Nesta, Milan FC, national Italian Football(authentic) Team. All the football world is crazy about Beckham, but never mention Nesta.
#1. Alessandro Nesta
There also some sportsmen you in America don't pay attention to:
Milan Baros - Czech Football Team;
Raphael Nadal - tennis, Spain;
Ruud van Nistelrooi - Dutch Football Team.
Don't mistake European authentic football with your American Rugby(not football)

I'd like to nominate Ayrat!
Very nice pictures. Keep up the good work!

It's funny to see that "ever" stretches back only 25 years here.... No love for Christy Mathewson?

It's possible no one else remembers NHL player Troy Mallette , as he never had much success after his rookie year (having far more heart than skill). But I've always thought of him as the sexiest player the league has ever seen.

Why only 50 of the sexiest male sportsmen? Why not 100 or more? I could rattle off close to a hundred of my sexiest male spotsmen in only a few minutes. I will do my best to name at least 50 of my sexiest male sportsmen in random order: Guillermo Vilas, Bruce Jenner, Phil and Steve Maher, Danny Sullivan, Roger Federer, Andre Agassis, Pete Sampras, Brad Ausnus,Todd Walker,Barry Zito, Carl Pavano,Jason Varitek,Johnny Damon,Steve Garvey,Jim Palmer,George Brett,Mike Piazza,Cal Ripken jr., Joe Namath,Joe Montana, Joe Theisman.,Jim Kelly,Jeff Fisher, Carson Palmer,Drew Bennett,Mike Alstott, Doug Flutie, Brian Griese,Brett Favre, Drew Brees, Greg Norman,Brian Boitano, Steve Nash,John Stockton,Elvis Stojko,Alexei Yagudin,Jeff Gordon,Don Mattingly,Wayne Gretzky,Tomas Vokoun,Brett Hull,Luis Gonzalez,Tom Watson,Trent Green,Brady Anderson,Eric Karros,Pat Burrell,Oscar De La Hoya, and John Elway.

One of the most handsome athletes IMO is swimmer Steve Lundquist. He is also an extremely nice person.

I must agree on Johann Olav Koss and Jean Galifone.

Please include Matt Shirvington, Tommy Skipper (track), David Pelletier and Peter Oppegard (figure skating).

From the world of professional cycling:
Mario Cipollini
He is one hot man!!!

Whew! I thought I was crazy for this!

Just random thoughts....

Alex S. Gonzalez (MLB; retired in May)

Ben Cohen (Rugby player - Northhampton Saints)

Fredrick Michalak (Rugby player - France)

Fabrio Cannavaro (Soccer - Italy)

Brodie Holland (Rugby player - Collingwood)

Tom Brady (NFL)

Blaine Wilson (gymnast)
