Francesco
Toldo, Italian goalie
The semifinals of the Euro 2000 soccer tournament were
held at the Amsterdam ArenA, site of the opening and closing
ceremonies at Gay Games V in 1998. Italy defeated Netherlands
in the semis, 3-1, on penalty kicks and will face France in
the final.

Toldo is jazzed to make Picture This

Jose
Cruz Jr., Toronto Blue Jays
There's something compelling about a ballplayer in a
helmet. We like the look of Toronto's Jose Cruz Jr.

Kenyon
Martin, Projected No. 1 NBA pick
Kenyon Martin broke his leg in the first game of the
Conference USA Tournament and missed the NCAA Tourney. But the
Cincinnati Bearcat star is expected to be the first player
picked in Wednesday's NBA Draft.

Michael
Chang, tennis
Michael Chang is no longer a big star on the men's tennis
tour (he's not even in the Top 50 money-winners this year).
But he's always been one of the nicest and best-looking guys
on the tour and we were happy to see him win his first-round
Wimbledon match today. Nice forearms, Michael.

"Can
You Believe This Body" Builder
It may look like a painting - or a sculpture - but this is
the body of Jarvis Foster. He was Mr. Alabama and Mr.
Texas - we just wonder why he wasn't more.

Dany
Heatley, NHL draft pick
The NHL held its player draft today and the Atlanta
Thrashers, picking second, took Wisconsin's Dany Heatley, a
6-1, 200 pounder. His college coach says Dany ``is a scoring
machine." Is that on or off the ice?

Jan-Michael
Gambill
A reader
alerted us to this American player, saying, ``He may not by
the best player, but this man has the best body in all of
tennis.'' He also has his own Web
site.

Aussie
Rules Player Barnaby French
To an American, Australian rules football is a bit
confusing. But we do like the fact that the players don't wear
helmets and they do wear cutoff shirts. This way we get to see
amazing shoulders like those of Barnaby French. Plus, those
wacky Aussies will put advertising anywhere. Check out whose
advertising winds up on, of all places, the ball.

In honor of the first

of winter Down Under).

Above
the Rim
In honor of the NBA Finals we bring you this cool shot from
high in rafters at Staples Center in LA during Game 6. We also
like looking at Kobe Bryant, Robert Horry and Austin Croshere
from above. This is a link to Sportserver, shot by AP.

Yes,
Dad
It looks like England's soccer coach Kevin Keegam and
Germany's Lothar Matthaeus have a May-December thing going on.
The two met on the field after England's 1-0 win over Germany
at Euro 2000.
A
touching soccer moment.

"Put
Your Head On My Shoulder"
Little do most people know, after their fight in 1997, Oscar
de la Hoya and Hector Camacho posed for the Latin issue of
Abercrombie & Fitch, hanging shirtless on one another
after the fight.

Yugoslavia's Vladimir Jugovic wants to see what's
underneath the shirt of Slovenia's Miran Pavlin during action
at the Euro 2000 soccer tournament.
Hey,

Scott
Niedermayer and child
We love this shot of New Jersey Devil Scott Niedermayer,
his wife Lisa and their baby Logan with the Stanley Cup
trophy, which the Devils won Saturday. The kid looks anything
but happy to be shoved into a pewter cup.

Steve
Young, San Francisco 49ers
In honor Steve Young, who retired Monday after a brilliant
NFL career we offer this shot from sportserver.com taken at
the 1996 Pro Bowl in Hawaii. You make up your own caption.

It's obvious that gymnasts are in terrific shape. This

Tim
Couch, Cleveland Browns
We're just 8 weeks away from the NFL preseason, and we
just can't wait. Part of that excitement is for the
hotties that grace our screen every Sunday and Monday night -
and Couch is a keeper. There's plenty to look at here,
and from what we can tell, there's plenty we CAN'T look at,
too...

Pavel
Bure, Florida Panthers
Hockey player Pavel Bure is one of those crossover athletes,
popular with gay guys and straight women. There's an amazing
fan club Web
site for Bure, with tons of copy and photos, including
pages in Russian and Japanese. Talk about somebody's
obsession. This picture link is from that site.
Pavel
Bure shows some skin.

Matt
Hemingway, High Jumper
He's 6-7 and enjoys white-water rafting and basketball. But
American Matt Hemingway excels at high jumping. In March he
jumped 7 feet, 9.75 inches to win the USA Track and Field
Championships and is the US favorite at this year's Summer
Olympics. He's also cute as this picture from Sportserver
shows.

Javy
Lopez, Atlanta Braves
Two Braves in two days? Our readers demand it. CP
saw Chipper Jones and said he could one-up him with catcher
Javy Lopez: ``Yes. Chipper Jones boosts the male hunk factor
for the Braves. But it is Javy Lopez who keeps me glued to the
TV. While Chipper looks good, Javy makes me weak in the knees!
And when he's got his gear on, with all those straps, buckles,
and body armor ... Well, what more could a red-blooded
American boy ask for? Except of course to be his pitcher!'' We
hope CP likes this shot from Sportserver.

Chipper
Jones, Atlanta Braves
A reader writes
to admonish Outsports for not featuring Chipper: ``How can any
site dedicated to the eroticism of sport not include a
veritable shrine to Atlanta Braves third baseman Chipper
Jones? Each of us should wake up every morning thanking the
Powers That Be that we are allowed to walk the earth at the
same moment in time as this hunk of pure man love. Chipper is
sex.''

The
World's Best Sprinter
American Michael Johnson dazzled the
world with his performance at the 1996 Summer Olympics,
shattering records and winning gold medals. Johnson will again
be the focus in this year's Games in Sydney.

Puts It All On The Line
Today, Kobe Bryant will play in the biggest game of his
short NBA career as he and his Los Angeles Lakers host the
Portland Trail Blazers in Game 7 of the Western Conference
Finals.

The
Classic Rugby Scrum
We've always loved the word ``scrum,'' a rugby term that
means a bunch of guys in a big pile grabbing and pulling each
other as they seek control of the ball. This picture is of the
Caltech rugby club. Who said "brainy jocks'' is an
oxymoron?
Hey,
we're gonna be in a Lands End catalog. (Editor's

Vault
This!
Gymnasts spend their lives being able to hold themselves up
with one hand. And, they're flexible, too. It's no
wonder their bodies are built, toned, and otherwise stunningly
perfect. Russian gymast Alexi Nemov here is getting
ready to mount the vault with just his little red shorts on.
