Three Soccer Guys From Italy
Italian national soccer team players Francesco Totti,
Vincenzo Montella and Marco Delvecchio sure look good in blue.
They
shoot, they score (Editor's
pick 8/30/00)

Rey Sanchez, Kansas City Royals
Another team that got some pub as being baseball's
best-looking is the Kansas City Royals. They may be 17 games
out of first, but their No. 1 in somebody's book.
Rey
Sanchez does the limbo. (Editor's
pick 8/29/00)

Jeff D'Amico, Milwaukee Brewers
Some readers on our Discussion Board have voted the
Brewers the hottest team in baseball. D'Amico is a 6-7,
250-pound star who might be the best pitcher in the National
League right now. He has a 1.94 ERA and has been totally
dominant. He's also something to look at as this pic linked
through the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel shows.

Bevan Hart, Decathlete
Hart finished sixth at the recent U.S. Olympic Trials and
will not be going to Sydney. But we thought this shot of Hart
clearing the bar in the pole vault was visually one of the
best track pictures we've seen this year. It's from the Sacramento
Bee track and field site.

A Couple of Happy Patriots
New England Patriots' Adam Davis has no problem hoisting
teammate Dane Looker after Looker's TD Thursday against
Carolina.

Pete Sampras, Tennis
With the 2000 U.S. Open coming up next week, it's good to
see that injured fourth seed Pete Sampras is getting the right
treatment. Thanks to Rudy for the link.

Julius Peppers, North Carolina
football/basketball
On the basketball court, the 6-6, 280-pound Peppers is the
definition of a power forward. On the Tar Heels'
football team his mission is to rush the passer.

Jay Thornton, U.S.
Gymnast
As if we needed further proof that gymnasts are in great
shape.

Drew Brees,
Quarterback, Purdue
With the college football season just a week away, talk is
already starting about the Heisman Trophy. An early favorite
is Brees, who first gets under center Sept. 2 against
Central Michigan. As this photo from his high school days
shows, Brees has always been a football hero.

Blaine Wilson, U.S. gymnast
Wilson is the heavy favorite to win the men's all-around
at the U.S. Olympic Trials this weekend. With this form, we
can see why.

pick 8/18/00)

Tim Couch and Peyton Manning,
quarterbacks
Manning is from Tennessee, Couch from Kentucky. Manning is
in his third year, Couch his second. Many of our voters say
they have one thing in common: They're hot.

Will Clark, St. Louis Cardinals
Clark, acquired in a trade three weeks ago, has been on
fire, batting a blistering .396 with four HRs to help keep the
Cards in first. But we're more impressed with the eye-black.

Darren Dreifort, Los Angeles
Dodgers pitcher
Prior to Sunday the Braves had beaten the Dodgers in 7 of
8 meetings. In this photo Dreifort says he'll hold his breath
until the Dodgers won again. Thanks to Dreifort, they did.

Gary Hall, U.S. Swimming
A reader alerted us to Hall, who qualified for the
Olympics on Sunday in the 100-meter freestyle. Hall has been
through a lot, including a drug suspension and fighting
diabetes. To fire himself and the crowd up he came into the
pool area wearing a patriotic pair of trunks that he bought at a charity event for Muhammad Ali.

Four Swimmers from Texas
Try as we might, we HATE these new full-length body suits.
But they did help these University of Texas swimmers at the
U.S. Olympic trials. From left: Nate Dusing, Jamie Rauch,

Tom Wilkens and Jarrod Marrs,
U.S. Swimming
We''ll let U.S.
Swimming's Web site describe the scene from this week's
Olympic trials: ``Tom Wilkens (right) is freaked out by fellow breaststroker Jarrod
Marrs' dyed-and-permed hair. Wilkens is seeded first in three events (200m IM, 400m IM, 200m breaststroke). Marrs is seeded second in the 100m breaststroke.''

David Beckham, English soccer
star and ``gay icon''
Beckham will get no mercy from English fans after his
wife, pop celebrity Posh Spice told a gay radio that Beckham
thinks of himself as a ``gay icon,'' and likes to wear her
underwear. See Week
in Review.

David Justice N.Y. Yankees
It was as dramatic a game as you'll find. Yankees losing
to Oakland, 3-2, bottom of the ninth. The Bernie Williams hits
one out to tie it. Up steps David Justice, former Brave and
Indian, who unties it with one swing. Yankees win.

won a tourney in Toronto on Sunday. We can see the attraction.

Randy Velarde, Oakland
Athletics
Velarde scored from second on a hit Saturday, but from the
looks of it it appears he did one of those Russian dances
across home plate.

Moises Arteaga, Spanish Soccer
Player
Further evidence of the great shape top-level athletes are
in as this AP photo via Sportserver shows. Arteaga plays for
Espanol in the Spanish League.

He's in Tokyo this week as the Falcons play Dallas.

Shane Hamman, Olympic

Hamman, of Mustang, Okla., set a U.S. record with a

much as we can curl.
