Teammates
(Editor's pick 06/12/01)
Eric Snow, Philadelphia 76ers
We've been totally impressed by  the 6'3'' Snow in the NBA playoffs--his hustle, his grit, his smile. He's on the left in this photo with Allen Iverson, a great player who's still a homophobic thug.
Brotherly love
(Editor's pick 06/11/01)
Ray Bourque, Colorado Avalanche
You have to be happy for Bourque, 40, who won his first Cup on Saturday as Colorado beat New Jersey in the deciding Game 7. Bourque had played 22 years before reaching his goal.

Kent will be eating well tonight!
A real fowl ball
(Editor's pick 06/07/01)
Jay Buhner, Seattle Mariners
The Mariners are an absurd 45-12 and 16 games in front of the American League West. They've so captivated Seattle that even old ladies want to look like Buhner.

This picture is suitable for your computer desktop wallpaper.

Coming at you

What are you looking at?
(Editor's pick 06/01/01)

Work that tongue
(Editor's pick 05/31/01)
Craig Wing, Aussie rugby
Thanks to ``Hockey Jock'' for this awesome link. Wing is ``the Sydney Roosters rugby player who was voted Australia's bachelor of the year. No freakin' wonder. I've seen him play in person too. Unbelievable on and off the pitch."
Rugby is fast becoming our favorite sport :-)
(Editor's pick 05/30/01)
Stanford baseball team
Thanks to M.P. who sent us this shot after Stanford beat Texas in a baseball playoff.
Then I looked into his eyes ...
(Editor's pick 05/29/01)
Helio Castroneves, auto racing
We have to admit when we first heard this name today we thought it was a new drink (``I'll have a Helio Castroneves on the rocks") But the only drink this Brazilian cared about was milk, the traditional beverage of Indianapolis 500 winners.
A boy from Brazil
(Editor's choice 05/28/01)
Roman Sebrle, decathlete
Sebrle, the silver medallist in Sydney, on Sunday became the first decathlete ever to score more than 9,000 points in a meet.
Czech clears a barrier
(Editor's pick 05/27/01)

This guy won a gold medal at the 2000 Summer Games. We can see why.
Is that shirt spray-painted on?
(Editor's pick 05/26/01)
Scott Sharp, auto racing
A reader sent this, with this note: ``It's Memorial Day Weekend and this Sunday is the Indy 500. I think the drivers in the front row are the best looking threesome they've ever had. (OK, I haven't researched every year, but they sure look good.) Here's a link to a picture of the "pole sitter" Scott Sharp.
He looks sharp to us
(Editor's pick 05/25/01)
Nathan Buckley and Paul Licuria, Aussie Rules Football
Thanks to a reader for this. Why these two guys are wrestling with the coach looking on totally escapes us.
Take it off, take it all off
(Editor's pick 05/24/01)
Bob Boughner, Sergei Brylin, hockey
Boughner of the Pittsburgh Penguins may have gotten in the best shot here, but Brylin and the New Jersey Devils got the last laugh in winning the playoff series, 4 games to 1.
A hockey facial
(Editor's pick 05/23/01)
Christian Malcolm, sprinter
Malcolm is from Wales and a finalist in the 200 meters at the Sydney Olympics.
There's something about a guy in a track suit
(Editor's pick 05/22/01)
Bobby Estalella, San Francisco Giants
This is from a reader: ``An anonymous contribution from an appreciative female of a classic photo taken by another appreciative female.... this first showed up online during spring training 2000, a casual shot from the Giants dugout during a rain delay. It was taken by Elaine Thompson of the AP (one of the best working today, by the way) though it is unattributed on the linked site.''
All eyes on Bobby E (
Editor's pick 05/21/01)
Adrian Ianculescu, Romanian gymnast
It's hard to resist most gymnastics photos.
Well-armed 
(Editor's pick 05/20/01)
U.S. Water Polo players
This is an oldie but goodie and was sent in by a reader, who comments: ``It's a famous picture of four studs on the 1996 USA Olympic water polo team from Life magazine's series of naked Olympians in celebration of the human form. I can tell you this, those guys are a lot more impressive in person than in the photo!''
Four large balls
(Editor's pick 05/19/01)
Sam Cassell, Milwaukee Bucks
Cassell and the Bucks survived a major gut check in Game 6 of their NBA series against Charlotte. Down 3 games to 2 and by 15 points in the game, the Bucks rallied to force a Game 7. We're rooting for the Bucks if only because we hate the headband fad the Hornets are trying to bring back.
Coming through
(Editor's pick 05/18/01)
Navy rugby team
Thanks to a reader who sent this link to the Naval Academy's rugby team photo from 2000.
Uncle Sam Wants You
(Editor's pick 05/17/01)

Packin' some wood

We want to trade places with the Coke bottle
(Editor's pick 05/15/01)

The only NBA player who can dunk in English and Italian (Editor's pick 05/14/01)
A.J. Burnett, Florida  Marlins
The 24-year-old Burnett threw a no-hitter Saturday night as the Marlins beat the San Diego Padres.
If only the uniforms were sleeveless
(Editor's pick 05/13/01)
Joe Sakic, hockey
Sakic, whose Colorado Avalanche play the St. Louis Blues in the NHL's Western Conference Finals, may be the best player in the game. Sakic, the team's captain,  is a finalist for three major trophies: Hart Trophy (MVP); Lady Byng Trophy, ( sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct) and the Frank J. Selke Trophy ( best defensive forward.)
An officer and a gentleman
(Editor's pick 05/12/01)
Jason Arnott, hockey
Arnott is a star on the New Jersey Devils, the defending Stanley Cup champs. Thanks to Jim for this link.
Sorry, this link no longer is active :-(
David Ginola, soccer
This Frenchman is a star in the English Premier League. As one Web site said: ``Not just Footballer of the Year but a peace campaigner and a hair shampoo model-- is there no end to this man's talents?'' Thanks to a reader for this link.
We take back anything bad we've ever said about the French
(Editor's pick 05/10/01)
Matt Rodgers, Wisconsin track and field
This link was supplied by Jake, who wrote: ``time for a dose of Badgers.'' Rodgers runs the 400-meter hurdles for Wisconsin.
It's the shoes
(Editor's pick 05/09/01)

Only someone with a body like Mitchell's could pull off this ensemble.
It's a bird, it's a plane ...
(Editor's pick 05/08/01)
Jan-Michael Gambill, Andy Roddick, tennis
Gambill made a big splash at Wimbledon last year. Roddick is playing awesome tennis, having won the last two ATP tourneys, including the U.S. Men's Clay Court Championships on Sunday.
A couple of aces
(Editors pick 05/07/01)
Lenny Krayzelburg, swimmer
As one Web site asked: ``When is the last time you met a tall, blonde-haired, blue-eyed hunk who also happened to be a nice Jewish boy?" Love this different shot of the gold medallist.
Thankfully, he's not in a full-body suit
(Editor's pick 05/06/01)
Kort Schubert, Cal rugby
This came from a reader who summed it up: ``It's totally hot."
Reach a bit higher
(Editor's pick 05/05/01)
Javy Lopez, Atlanta Braves
We have a reader for whom Javy is the be-all and end-all. 
Is that a ballpoint pen or are you happy to see me?
(Editor's pick 05/04/01)
Oklahoma gymnasts
Sorry, but this link no longer works (Editor's pick 05/03/01)
Danish rowing team
This pic is from this past weekend's Princeton World Cup. Reminds us of that old commercial where the Swedish bikini team was in a beer commercial and all the straight guys drooled. For a lot of gay men the Danish rowing team would be the equivalent.
Something's not rotten in Denmark
(Editor's pick 05/02/01)
David Beckham, soccer
A reader sent us this unusual shot of Beckham, British soccer star and boy-toy husband of Posh Spice.
A wedge shot
(Editor's pick 05/01/01)
Aussie swimmers
We like this pic from the 2000 Olympics showing Aussies Bill Kirby, Grant Hackett and Todd Pearson during the 4x200 relay.
Stand and model
(Editor's pick 04/30/01)
Ray Allen, Milwaukee Bucks
Allen is a key reason the Bucks have an excellent shot at making the NBA Finals. He's among the league's best in 3-point and free-throw shooting.
This Buck can stop here.
(Editor's pick 04/29/01)
Jaromir Jagr. Pittsburgh Penguins
Jagr, the Pens' regular season scoring champ, may miss Game 2 of the NHL playoff series with New Jersey.
How do you say `hot' in Czech?
(Editor's pick 04/28/01)
Oklahoma University quarterbacks
Thanks to a reader for this shot of the Sooner QBs showing off, including Josh Huepel (#14), who led the team to the national title last year and was taken by Miami in the NFL Draft.
My guns are bigger than yours
(Editor's pick 04/27/01)
Curt Clausen, race walker
Race walking is not a sport we feature much of here, but you try walking 30 miles and never have any visible loss of contact with the ground occur.
Walk this way.
(Editor's pick 04/26/01)
Steve Nash, John Stockton, pro basketball
Nash of Dallas and Stockton of Utah are two of the best guards in the NBA. Nash is in his third year, while Stockton has been playing since the Taft Administration. 
Hey, watch that left hand
(Editor's pick 04/25/01)
Blaine Wilson, gymnast
Wilson was one of the ``models'' in the Sports Illustrated for Women swimsuit edition.
Even the Bulgarian judge gives him a 10.
(Editor's pick 04/24/01)
Ryan Smyth, Dominic Pittis, Edmonton Oilers
Smyth and Pittis will have a lot more time to sign autographs now that the Oilers have been eliminated from the Stanley Cup playoffs. 
``Hey Dominic, keep smiling or I'll blacken the other eye.''
(Editor's pick 04/23/01)
Reggie Miller, Indiana Pacers
Perhaps the best pure shooter of his generation, Miller did it again Saturday in Game 1 of the Pacers' playoff series against Philadelphia. Down by 2, less than 3 seconds left, Cheryl's brother strokes a beautiful trey and the Pacers steal one, 79-78. He said later that he always goes for the 3 on the road.
Smooth as silk
(Editor's pick 04/22/01)
Trent Green quarterback
Green was traded Friday from the St. Rams to the Kansas City Chiefs. We're posting this for a couple of guys who think Green is the best-looking player in the NFL.
Kansas City here I come
(Editor's 04/21/01)
Wally Szczerbiak, Minnesota Timberwolves
The NBA playoffs open this weekend and Szczerbiak's T'Wolves must play the top-seeded San Antonio Spurs. We're kind of rooting for Minnesota so Wally's on the tube a lot.
Yes, he really is a 10
(Editor's pick 04/20/01)
Michael Vick, quarterback
Vick, 20, from Virginia Tech, is expected to be the top pick in the NFL draft. At least from this shot we like what we see.
In ``shirts and skins'' we want him to be the latter
(Editor's pick 04/19/01)
Johnnie Morton, Detroit Lions
Sports Illustrated for Women is out with their current crop of beefcake shots, but we send this one from last years edition. Morton is a wide receiver with a great body.
Surfin' Safari
(Editor's pick 04/18/01)
Tim Hudson, Oakland A's
We like pics of athletes away from the field in different settings. We found this one of Hudson, a pitcher, from an article about an A's fan day.
He needs better fashion sense
(Editor's pick 04/17/01)
Gabe Kapler, Texas Rangers
Sorry, this link no longer works :-(
(Editor's pick 04/16/01)
Brendan Shanahan, Detroit Red Wings
Shanahan has been one of our faves for a while and we're sorry he's out right now with a broken foot. But the Wings should still have no trouble beating the Kings.
Nice little scruff action going on there.
(Editor's pick 04/15/01)
Luke Toia, Luke Darcy, Aussie football
Thanks to Brice for this. He wrote: ``I am so stunned by this 'pose' that I can't think of a clever caption. It is just one of the most graceful displays I've ever seen in a rough and tumble sport. To play this game without pads, or at least a helluva good jockstrap, requires admirable courage or total insanity. Maybe both.''
Cool hand Lukes
(Editor's pick 04/14/01)
Ed McCaffrey, wide receiver
We got jazzed seeing the NFL 2001 schedule today and finding McCaffrey's Broncos open the Monday Night schedule. It's possible that McCaffrey is the one jock we've seen who virtually everyone raves about. Wonder why? He's only 6-5, 215, with a small waist, big arms and a great face. 
Can he get those pants or shirt any tighter?
(Editor's pick 04/13/01)
Carlos Delgado, Toronto Blue Jays
A reader wrote with this plea: ``Will someone please do an article on Carlos Delgado and the Toronto Blue Jays? Carlos is one of the sexiest players in baseball and he has serious talent. And if that isn't enough, he has an incredible butt.'' Would you settle for a picture?
Love the smile
(Editor's pick 04/12/01)
Eric Crouch, quarterback
Crouch of Nebraska is the subject of heavy conversation on our Discussion Board. After seeing this pic we only wish spring practice was nationally televised.
Sure beats having his name across his back
(Editor's pick 04/11/01) 
Troy Aikman, quarterback (retired)
Aikman retired Monday after 12 seasons and three Super Bowl rings. He’s always been a huge favorite among gay NFL fans for reasons both athletic and visual. 
Sad day for Troy (Editor’s pick 04/10/01)
Tiger Woods, golf
Hard to  ignore Woods' accomplishment, winning all four majors in a row. To see him start crying on 18 was touching.
An ugly jacket but he's not complaining.
(Editor's pick 04/09/01)
Sergey Litvinov, bodybuilder
Sergey is 19 years old and hails from Omsk in Siberia. We're suitably impressed.
We'll take a six-pack of Sergey
(Editor's pick 04/08/01)
Ivan Alonso, Spanish soccer player
Alonso and his CD Alaves team whipped Germany's FC Kaiserslautern in the first leg of the UEFA Cup semis. Ivan looks like he's quite well put together.
This Ivan's not terrible
(Editor's pick 04/07/01)
Josh Hamilton, baseball
Hamilton is in the Tampa Bay Devil Rays organization and is starting the season in the minor leagues. That hasn't stopped the buzz from some readers.
We have no idea what's written on his hand.
(Editor's pick 04/06/01)
Ontario, Canada, hockey
We received this from Ralph, a Canadian reader, who wrote: ``I'm tired of basketball photos, so I sent you a hockey picture.''
Hard to skate on sod
(Editor's pick 04/05/01)
Dathan Ritzenhein cross country
Nicknamed ``Ritz,'' this Michigan runner took the bronze medal at last month's world junior race in Belgium. After looking at this shot, who says cross-country runners aren't tough?
His name is mud
(Editor's pick 04/04/01)
Nate Hybl, Oklahoma quarterback
We received this submission from Ben, who wrote: ``Not the most revealing picture, but look at those arms! My god! And he looks cute under that helmet (what little we can see).''
Boomer Sooner
(Editor's pick 04/03/01)
Eugene Edgerson, Arizona basketball
Edgerson and the Wildcats play Duke on Monday in the men's NCAA final. Can't say we're thrilled the Afro look is back, but Edgerson seems like a cool guy.
Shaft, can you dig it? (
Editor's pick 04/02/01)
Mike Dunleavy, Duke basketball
We were watching the NCAA Final Four on Saturday and when Dunleavy was shown there was a radical split: One thought he was the best-looking guy in college basketball. Another, in essence, would prefer Strom Thurmond, shirtless. You decide.
