Big Screen Babes

One of the best things about sports flicks (and TV shows) are the uber babes that grace the screen, playing out their inner athlete fantasy. From baseball cuties to mature men, take a look at some of the most desirable fake athletes to light up our screens.

Taylor Kitsch as Tim Riggins, Friday Night Lights (TV Show)

By far the hottest thing to walk planet Earth, Taylor Kitsch played bad boy Tim Riggins in one of the most epic TV series of all time.

Kyle Chandler as coach Eric Taylor, Friday Night Lights (TV Show)

Though Kyle Chandler may be more of a catch for a mom than myself, something about his family-man, tough-coach persona gets my vote.

Mark Wahlberg as Micky Ward, The Fighter

There is nothing this man can do that isn't over the top sexy—including boxing. Mark plays an underdog in one of my favorite movies of the decade and he does it well.

Channing Tatum as Jason Lyle, Coach Carter

Another one of the world's finest, Channing is known for playing confident, gorgeous athletes, and in Coach Carter he does not disappoint.

Paul Walker as Lance Harbor, Varsity Blues

Back when Paul Walker was a baby he played a Texas QB, charming the screen with his perfect smile and baby blues.

Matthew Davis as Matt Tollman, Blue Crush

Remember this bombshell from the chick flick Blue Crush? He may have been a one-hit wonder, but what a hit it was.

Freddie Prinze Jr. as Ryan Dunne, Summer Catch

This brings me back to my obsession with him in my early years, as he was a token crush for any girl in the late '90s. Although this movie wasn't one for the books, Freddie sure made up for it.

So next time you're about to pop in a DVD with your man (or without), agree with a sports theme and enjoy these lovely leading men.


Also, please VOTE once a day, everyday. 

Babe of the Week: Mark Sanchez

Though he's been in the NFL for a couple seasons now, Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez is growing more and more attractive. Whether it's his confident play, his charming smirk or his dark complexion that makes him oh-so-appealing, I'm sold.

This born-and-raised Southern Cal cutie enjoys music, charity work (aww!) and comes from a family of football-playing boys.

He's been linked to Jamie-Lynn Sigler in the past and more recently to Hayden Panettiere. The duo claims they are "just friends" as Hayden is a self-proclaimed "Jets fanatic." Fingers crossed their relationship is simply platonic.

Him and his team are coming off an exciting Week 1 win over the Dallas Cowboys, where Mark looked smoking as usual. You can catch him next Sunday taking on the Jacksonville Jaguars at 1:00 pm (ET).

 Thank you, football!

Extra ESPY Awards

Like I mentioned in this post, the ESPYS (aka the sports version of the Oscars) took place last week in LA. Hopefully you were able to catch the show and drool over the eye candy walking the red carpet, but for those of you who missed out, a little awards of my own...

Best Looking Celebrity, Male

Ryan Reynolds, actor

Nothing, and I mean nothing can beat this face/body/everything.

Best Looking Celebrity, Female

Brooklyn Decker, model & actress (also married to tennis star Andy Roddick)

This model turned actress might be one of the only people on earth able to rock red leather.

Best Looking Athlete, Male

 Matt Kemp, LA Dodgers

Usually I don't go for anything-Dodgers, but the baseball star sure cleans up nicely.

and Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers

Can he get any cuter? Nope.

Best Looking Athlete, Female

Lindsey Vonn, US Ski Team racer

The Olympic skier looked bangin' in her sparkled mini.

Most Out of Place

Justin Bieber & Selena Gomez, entertainers

Biebs and his babe might have nothing to do with sports, but a few athletes did announce they had fallen for Bieber Fever.

Most Outrageous

Brian Wilson, SF Giants

I would expect nothing less from the always-entertaining B Wilson.

Hope you enjoyed the show!

The 2011 ESPY Awards aired last week and brought out some major sports stunners.

Surfs Up Bra'

The one thing I love more than a baseball player sporting a ball cap and a cute grin: a surfer. From the ultra laid back lifestyle, to the toned, bronzed bodies - they just do it for me. 

(click here, for a totally tubular song)

The 2011 ASP Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast (a gnarly surf competition) finished up Down Under and the always stunning surfing sensation, Kelly Slater, took 1st. If you don't know who this babe is, meet my lifelong crush. I'm still waiting for him to realize we're soul mates, but until then, congrats to my boy!

Here are some highlights from Slater's career

Makes me want to take a tropical vaca, preferably with a stud that looks like him, STAT! A girl can dream, right?

Cosmo Clue:

Kelly Slater claims the #1 spot at Quiksilver's Pro Gold Coast and is trying for his 11th World Champion Title.

Keeping up with Kim

Kimmy K is known for more than her luxurious locks and bootylicious backside. She also has a sex tape, nude magazine covers and a bunch of athletes under her belt. From football stars to her latest baller babe - the girl knows how to date. Take a look at a few of her ex's, flings and newest beau.

Reggie Bush

If you took my quiz in this post, you should be familiar with this name. But not only is he Kim ex-almost-hubby, but he's also a running back for the New Orleans Saints. He was a standout player at USC and received the Heisman Trophy (but due to USC scandals, forfeited the award). According to this on again-off again couple, the distance and busy careers got in the way of love.

Miles Austin

Miles might be one of the most beautiful things on planet earth and he was all Kim's for a short time. He's a wide receiver for the Dallas Cowboys and grew up in New Jersey. Miles wasn't down with the paparazzi & Kim's hectic lifestyle - the fling only lasted a couple months.

Kris Humphries

Now the diva has some new, delicious arm candy and his name is Kris Humphries. Kinda weird that her boyfriend has the same name as her Mom, but his looks make up for it. Humphries is a baller for the New Jersey Nets, and is younger than Kim. Hopefully the cougar can hang on to this young gun, because he is a cutie.

The reality princess obviously has a type: gorgeous, athletic, dark(ish), and all of these boys are 26 (four years younger than the 30 year old Kardashian).

Props to the stunning siren - the girl has got game.

Lockout Lowdown

It's basketball season, approaching baseball season - and all you've been hearing about is football, right?! If your boyfriends have been freaking out about something football related and you have no clue what - look no further. Here is a little breakdown, in girl terms, of what's going on:

Basically the NFL (owners) and the NFLPA (NFL Players Association - players) are in a labor dispute over legal matters (money, number of games, rookie salaries, blah, blah, blah). They are trying to come up with a new "Collective Bargaining Agreement" a.k.a a contract to make everyone happy. There is talk of a "lockout", in which case, basically the owners would put the sport on hold. There would be no on-field football action. Not a good thing for us football lovers. 

Nothing has been resolved yet, and the two groups have agreed to continue negations for another week. 

So until next week (at least), nothing has changed. You can tell your boyfriend to shut up about it and enjoy the weekend. If you're really interested and want the whole scoop, click here. I'll keep you posted on the everlasting situation once there's more to share. 

*It's basically a lot of guys with a lot of money, fighting over a lot of money.

Enough with legal matters though. I'll leave you with a few of the most amazing faces the NFL has to offer. Not seeing these babes come football season would seriously traumatize me.

ENJOY!

Start your engines

The Daytona 500 - one of the motor sports biggest events of the year, is happening today in - you guessed it - Daytona Beach, FL! For those of you who are into the big engine sport, I've dedicated this post to everything Nascar. From the looks of this sport (rowdy crowds, fast cars, crazy crashes, beer drinking/hot dog eating fans) I might have a new favorite past time.

Seriously interested in the race? Click.

Nascar may not be home to 7 foot tall superstars or athletes with ripped abs, but it does provide some All-American cuties. I don't know much about Nascar, so I won't pretend I do with stats and info - I'll just list the best looking drivers I could find. God bless America!

Scott Speed

He might look like he's 12, but I assure you ladies, he's legal

Here are some personal photos, via my friend who works at the races (shout out to AK!) - some sassy, yet not-so-classy, fans. They may not be as babealicious as the guys pictured above, but you've gotta give them props for their dedication.

I'll leave you with a little clip from one of the BEST (and Nascar inspired!) movies of all time - Talladega Nights

The next big race is the Subway Fresh Fit 500, on February 27, in Phoenix. Get your homeade overalls ready, your American flags flying and don't forget your booze (being intoxicated is a necessity while hanging out with Nascar fans). See ya in Phoenix!

Old Farts

They say men get better with age and in this case, they sure do! Though some of these players are only in their late 30's, in pro sports, that's ancient. Sometimes these players just have a hard time throwing in the towel and retiring ..cough, cough, Brett Favre. But, that also means we have more time to watch these silver foxes do their thang. Here are some of the most attractive man-cougars out there. Rarrr!

Be sure to catch a NFL game today.. Have a good Sunday Funday babes!

HOT ATHLETE(s) of the MONTH

Gotta give it up to the San Francisco Giants! Whether you're a girl who likes the good, bad or the bearded boys, this team has it covered.

For the girls who prefer the All-American-hot-baseball-player-next-door kind of guy, let me present to you, the young gun, Mr. Buster Posey. Don't get too excited ladies - he married his high school sweetheart last year.

For the ladies who don't mind a bit of jet black facial hair (or V-necks, tattoos, and the most outlandish interviews ever), I give you Brian "Fear the Beard" Wilson. Something about the muscles, mystery, and mohawk just do it!

photo via Bleacher Report

And let's not forget Barry Zito. Though he we didn't see this pitchers arm throughout the length of the season, he's still got one thing going for him - his BABENESS. Word of warning though, he's been linked to some classy broads like Paris Hilton. Gotta take the good with the bad right?
