Markus
Boos, Ben Farrar, swimmers
A reader sent us this shot from the Kalamazoo College
men's swim team. ``These guys are great swimmers as well as
great friends. Look at those bodies ..... hard work really
pays off.''
Caught
in the act (Editor's
pick 11/30/00) |
Vince
Carter, Toronto Raptors
Dubbed the ``next Jordan,''` Carter is known for his
awesome dunks, though a leg injury will sideline him for a
couple of games. A reader comments: ``Soft-spoken, gorgeous
smile and boyish charm. Mom would LOVE this one!'' So would
dad.
Sorry, but this link is broken :-( (Editor's
pick 11/29/00) |
Teemu
Selanne, Anaheim Mighty Ducks
We've had some readers asking for some hockey pictures.
You could do worse than Selanne, who leads the Ducks in
goal-scoring with 11. This shot is from last year's playoffs.
Miss
Manners would approve: A firm handshake and great eye contact
(Editor's
pick 11/28/00) |
John
Standeford, Drew Brees, Purdue football
We got a great letter from a woman, who wrote: ``Would you
mind putting up more pictures of Drew Brees? Or how about his
`boyfriend' John Standeford. OK, so I don't have proof ...
unless you count all the times Drew spanked him after he
dropped a ball in the OSU game.'' :-) Ask and you shall
receive.
``Nice
butt, John.'' ``Thanks, nice arms, Drew'' (Editor's
pick 11/27/00) |
Carl
Walker, Troy Prasek, University of Miami football
The 'Canes rolled Boston College, 52-6, to stake their
claim to a spot in the Bowl Championship Series.
Victory
is sweet for 'Canes (Editor's
pick 11/26/00) |
Major
Applewhite, Chris Simms: Texas football
Applewhite and Simms are both quarterbacks for the
Longhorns and Simms was the star Friday in Texas' rout of
Texas A&M. One reader calls Simms ``the best-looking
quarterback in college football,'' but there's nothing minor
about Major.
Hook

pick 11/25/00) |
Bob
Sura, Doug Christie, NBA players
Sura now plays for Golden State and Christie for
Sacramento. In this pic from last season it looks like Sura is
whispering sweet nothings into Christie's ear.

What
else for Thanksgiving? Soccer from Turkey
Galtasaray of Istanbul is one of the top soccer clubs in
the world. And only in soccer would players from both sides be
happy with a tie as in this picture of a UEFA Champion's
League game between Galtasary and Sturm Graz.
Uh,
we'll take the guy in the tank top
(Editor's pick 11/23/00) |
Surf's
Up
We're sympathetic to those in the Buffalo area that had 25
inches! of snow ... before Thanksgiving. Since it looks like a
long winter, we offer this reminder that summer will be back
in its time. This photo is from Hawaii by photographer John
Bilderback.
Doing
the wave
(Editor's pick 11/22/00) |
Vinny
Sutherland, Purdue football
This is our second
Purdue football shot in three days, but we're suckers for guys
who stick thorny flowers in their mouth.
Open
wide and say `ahhhh.'

Donovan
McNabb, Philadelphia Eagles
McNabb has led the surprising Eagles to an 8-4 record and
was excellent Sunday against Arizona, throwing for a TD and
running for another.

Brees (right), Rose and their Purdue Boilermakers and

Chris
Herren, Boston Celtics
A couple of readers have pointed out this 6-2 player from
Fresno State.
Hard
to score without the ball (Editor's
pick 11/18/00) |
Robert
Smith, Minnesota Vikings
A reader's fave: `` I think Robert Smith is the one of the
finest men in all sports, and he's having a great year so far.
If I'm not mistaken he was one of the few to speak out against
Reggie White when he made those ignorant comments a few years
ago. Let's hope he stays healthy this season.''
His
adoring fans (Editor's
pick 11/17/00) |
Ken
Norton, ex-Boxing Champion
Norton, the dad of pro football's Ken Norton Jr., was in
amazing shape during his heavyweight boxing career, as this
picture show. Norton once defeated Muhammad Ali, breaking his
jaw in the process. Thanks to Rob, who alerted us to this
site.

Kimi
Raikkonen, Formula 1 Driver

British Formula Renault champion, but he barely looks old
enough to drive.

Konstantinos
Kenteris, Sprint Champion
Kenteris of Greece shocked the track world by winning the
men's 200 meters at the Sydney Olympics. As this picture shows
he shocked even himself.
He's
definitely Greek active (Editor's
pick 11/14/00) |
Ryan
Hansen, Iowa football
Hansen, a defensive back with the Hawkeyes, is People
Magazine's choice for sexiest athlete. If they say so.
I'm
too sexy for this shirt (Editor's
pick 11/13/00) |
Travis
Minor, Florida State football
A Wake Forest defender gets a little too close for comfort
with Minor during Saturday's FSU 35-6 win.
Hey,
watch where you put that hand (Editor's
pick 11/12/00) |
German
Soccer
Since soccer players wear no helmets and have a lot of
close contact on the field, photos from games have that ``make
up your own caption'' quality. This is one of them.
Yes,
I really am this big (Editor's
pick 11/11/00) |
Lennox
Lewis, David Tua, heavyweight boxers
Lewis and Tua will square off in the ring, but before they
had the obligatory post weigh-in stare down.
I
will crush you like a grape
(Editor's pick 11/10/00) |
Czech
hockey team
We found this cool group shot from the 1998 Winter
Olympics, where the Czechs took the men's hockey gold. Several
NHLers were on the team, including goalie Dominik Hasek of the
Buffalo Sabres, bottom left.
Gold

pick 11/9/00) |
Chauncey
Billups, Minnesota Timberwolves
Billups is a
good-looking point guard for the T'Wolves. And his coach, Flip
Saunders, isn't too bad, either.
Hey
coach, who's your tailor?
(Editor's
pick 11/08/00) |
Hannes
Hopley, discus thrower
Hopley of South Africa lives up to the first syllable of
his name after winning the discus at a meet recently in
Santiago, Chile.
Why
does a discus thrower have to shave his legs?' (Editor's
pick 11/7/00) |

galleries above for some oldies but goodies. |
Dale
Davis, Chris Dudley, Pro Basketball
Davis of the Trail Blazers and the Suns Dudley are
fighting for the ball. But maybe they're also fighting for
each other's affection.
Make
love, not war
(Editor's pick 11/03/00) |
Italian
soccer
Claudio Lopez of Argentina gets a little too close for
comfort with the groin area of Filippo Galli.
A
little higher and he'll sing soprano. (Editor's

John
McEnroe, an unnatural blond
McEnroe, playing in a legend's match in Asia, donned a wig
in the spirit of Halloween. Link via Sportasia.
