Let's do Landon Donovan some justice and get him out of the awful outfit in that pic!

How about this ...

Or this?

I have more Koji pictures on my blog page. Click on the homepage icon. I need to post more pics...no shirtless shots, though.

Good nominations! I already had Landon entered as a carry over from the 2003 competition.

And as hot as they are, there are still no pro bowlers in the field...I know, it's shocking.

Get ready ... here's the best pro bowling has to offer, as far as my research shows:

(Drum roll, please)

Joe Bailey, Doylestown, Ohio, shot 279 in his final game Wednesday to become the first amateur ever to lead the PBA Tour Qualifying Round in the PBA Jackson Hewitt Tax Service Open at AMF Riviera Lanes.



Not horrible, but I'm not sure he makes the cut with the likes of Dragalescu and Safin ...

not bad...but keep looking.

Sweetie, it ain't gettin' any better than that.

Do you shoot 279 or do you roll/bowl a 279? Never heard the term "shot" used with bowling before. Those bowlers are such rebels.

Well, Jow Bailey is on the list....way way way way down on the list as maybe the 62nd alternate to make the tourney. Then again, if he does make the field of 64, he could be THE Cinderella Story of the year!

Stop the presses! Chris ... er, Chris Somebody of Garland, Texas has a fashionably gay necklace on in his bowling profile!




Edit: Johnson. His last name is Johnson. How could I forget a name like that? wink

Puka shells. How 70's.

I meant why did I, Brooking's Boy, quit soccer.

And, unfortunately, Keith Brooking <sigh> got engaged a month or so ago. I've finally gotten to the point where I can talk about it.

Give the boy some time, Bobby, just give the boy time wink

No, no, I meant that it looks like he doesn't measure up to Chipper. wink

Others have mentioned him in this thread before, but you can never have too much of him -
Alexandre Despatie

[QUOTE]No, no, I meant that it looks like he doesn't measure up to Chipper. wink [/quote]Touche, 78751. Your argument that Chipper has a more impressive cock is spot on. You cut me to the quick. Nevertheless, I'm sure that a future "five tool" player such as Francoeur has a few other skills to make up for any supposed short comings.

Looks like we are going to have a strong field of 64 this year!

Baseball, Football, Basketball and Tennis are limited to Eight Men each so that leaves 32 spots open for the various other sports. My initial list has 71 guys so I have som trimming to do in Football, Tennis and the Others categories.

Keep nominating guys because I may have missed a jock.

So far, we have representation from Football, Basketball, Tennis, Baseball, Diving, Gymnastics, Swimming, Rugby, Wrestling, Soccer, BMX, Track & Field, Skiing, Surfing, Golf, Hockey, and Auto Racing. And as much as Gaga4Gaby has campaigned, no Bowlers have not made the cut.

Let's see, we still could use representation from Cycling, more Hockey and maybe Volleyball.

Keep those names coming!

This competition is a joke!! A joke, I say!!! :mad:

So...there will be bowlers on the list? I get so confused with double negatives.

If you can find a hot bowler worthy of the title King of The Hard Wood, they can be on the list.
I just don't think Eugene McCune or Mika Koivuniemi can go all the way to the tile!

Gervasio Deffer

I like his little anklet! wink

hmmmm, he's wearing a little anklet....Do ya think he may also be wearing a big cockring? >

I don't have a pic right now, but Eric Fonoimoana could be the volleyball representative. There are also a TON of hot collegiate volleyball players. Let me look for some links...

ooooh...Gervasio Deffer...MDB like

OOh, I may be way freaking late on this but you know that I have to nominate Joey Harrington. You saw that coming right . . .

Add to that list: Dave Carr, Brett Favre, and TO (He may be a pain in the ass, but he's hot)

And, as you can tell, I only know football. . . .

ML I wondered where you were. With you, Bonita & myself ((plus the Joey thread) I'm sure Joey will make the field of 62...I hope wink

ESPN is doing this as well. They have four groups of 6 athletes each. None of the 4 I voted for are leading in their groups. What's wrong with you people? wink

I think our tournament will be much hotter than their tournament!

Although, I am glad they had photos of some athletes that may make our tournament Dain Blanton and Dario Franchitti!

Sorry I have been out of the mix for a while. I started my new job and it's been great. It's so great when you acutally enjoy what you do for a living again. That, and we are busy trying to have a baby, so I have been . . . you know . . . BUSY. heheheh sorry for the TMI.
eek!

And before anyone asks: No, I will not name our baby Joey. It might just be the middle name.

Oh, and as an aside: Add Kevin Bently to the list - Good Lord, I wouldn't throw him outta bed for eating crackers!

I agree MDB...Dain and Mario need to be added to the list.

Man, this is going to be 'hard' as hell when it comes to picking winners.

Jeff

We may have voted for the same men as none of my choices are doing at all well, either. By the way, no hockey players??

~Adam

BTW, the NCAA tournament Seclection Show is March 13th so I'm planning on releasing our field of 64 on Mrch 13th or 14th.

Sorry, there will be no tournament selection show. Although I would love to line-up interviews with Brady, Brees, Carr, Harrington, Lopez, etc... about being selected/not selected!

MDB like the selection show, it would be intersting to know who were the bubble boys (#65, 66, 67, etc).

"He who shall not be named" is currently on the bubble. Should he be inlcuded in the tournament or shall he not be named in the tournament?

I was going to use the Elite 8 from the basball survivor thread but scrapped that and now only the Final Four are guaranteed locks for the tournament. So, shall GK be included or not? He was in the 2003 tournament but I don't think he got past the first round.

Please do NOT include "he who shall not be named." He's a washup, as evidenced by the fact that he's playing in the Japanese league this year.

Might I suggest the Utah Jazz's Raoul Lopez or Raja Bell, golf's Adam Scott, Sergio Garcia or Padraig Harrington, Canadian curlers Carter Rycroft or Scott Pfeiffer, or Canadian kayaker Adam van Koeverden.

Well, the NHL is out of business, so...

On the ESPN site I made a couple of choices based on the pics they had there, not so much for prior familiarity. I voted for Dain Blanton (currently 6th place out of 6), Juan Carlos Ferrero (4th), the Sixers' Kyle Korver (4th, but at least this group is competitive, plus I had to go for the home team) and Barry Zito (2nd, but has to overcome the Roddick juggernaut).

I went with Kyle Boller, David Carr, Kasey Kahne and Barry Zito. Though many of their nominees were quite blah. MDB's group will be much hotter I'm sure.

Just to make this official looking, I'm trying something new this year.

Please, no wagering. Well, ok, go ahead & bet but make sure you check with your Compliance officer first if you do!

This isn't complete yet. I'm hoping to link pictures/websites with the "candidates."

Bracketology

How cool is that? eek!

FIU safety John Haritan

Notre Dame QB Brady Quinn

Iowa QB Drew Tate

It looks great. Nobody at Outsports is more creative than MDB - between the cha cha reports and the King of the Hardwood, that's alot of creative energy put out for our benefit. Thanks!! It's much appreciated by all, I know.

:cool:

I love that. You can make your own brackets for any kind of contest. Just need an idea...

Adam Scott - in
Sergio Garcia - in
Padraig? Bubble

There you go again, Canmark, pushing those Canucks wink

I haven't seen the curlers so I'll do some research. We need at least one. But, if I put a curler in, I might have to be fair and put a bowler in and make Gaga happy for life.

There was also a Canadian rower, maybe it was the Adam van Koeverden taht you mentioned, who I saw in the Olympics that was hot. I must also do research on him.

Looks like there are four remaining slots open in the field of 64. The South region looks to be really tight and I guess I can leak that Andy Roddick is the #1 seed in the South. But it's not going to be easy for him.

I've been trying to find pics of my favourite curlers to nominate but it's been really tough! These are my two curling nominees (the best pics I could find unfortunately):

John Morris

Brad Gushue

I would also second (or third) the nomination for Adam Van Koeverden!

I gotta go with swimmer Alexandre Despartie -- SO very hot!

And tennis players Robbie Genepri and Jan-Michael Gambill make my list, too!

So when does the bracket get filled out? How do we vote?

He's a diver, not a swimmer.

Oops! My bad. I knew that. The thought of Despartie made the blood flow away from my brain...

That's cool. He's a diver because his over-sized fin makes him ineligible to be a swimmer.

Pool/billiards: Cory Deuel. Saw him playing on ESPN2 yesterday and he looked way better than any other pool player I've watched on TV.

I was flipping through the channnels this weekend and caught some curling on CBC. Especially, Scott Pfeiffer. Hello! I am now a fan of Team Alberta. He was very intense and very easy on the eye. I just wish they curled shirtless

I'd like to vote for the only African American speed skater i know, Shani Davis. Here is link to his web site. He is SOOOOO phyne!!

Da Kid.

Oh I forgot one. Tommy Rowlands. I don't believe an explanation is required....
