WHO WILL FILL CAPTAIN BECKHAMS SHOES?

Since David Beckham has swapped his role as captain of England, for a pair of Speedo’s, his successor has yet to be named. Two hotties have been chosen as possible replacements. First, John Terry (L) of hot team Chelsea. Terry is a true leader in every way possible. His enthusiasm for the game, infectious charisma, and stunning play on the field, makes him an easy choice for me. The second option is Steven Gerrard. The Liverpool captain is creaming his pants over this opportunity. “I don’t want to be seen to be pushing myself for the England captain’s role, but I have to say I’m really flattered to be mentioned as a possible candidate…I can’t disguise the fact I would love to do it…. It is the ultimate honor to lead your country and you can’t have a better dream. I have done it before and it meant so much to me, it is an incredible honor.” And we would be honored if either of these hotties were chosen. May the best Athlebrity win.

Quick note on Beckham: A survey was taken by the British amusement park, Thorpe Park, to name 20 of the UK’s favorites “hero’s” Each hero will have a seat named after him on one of their new roller coasters. David Beckham did make the cut, but, in an astonishing twist, Beckham didn’t rank as high as Irish singer and charity campaigner Bob Geldof- who came in fifth. I grew up adoring Bob Geldof, his Boomtown Rats and much needed Band-Aid. However, Geldof is notoriously one of the rudest people in the industry. Not only does he talk down to industry people, often referring to them as “c*nts,” but he rarely bathes and insults at people left and right. His public image is nothing but a sham. Sorry Sir Bob, you lost me at c*nt.

FABULOUS FABIO CANNAVARO

Fabio Cannavaro is better than Gelato as he plays with his balls while enjoying his new role as a Real Madrid hottie. Italy’s World Cup winning captain was presented to Real Madrid at the Santiago Stadium in Madrid yesterday. Fret not my sporno hungry readers, Cannavaro will be playing alongside another Real Madrid hottie, David Beckham.

I LOVE THIS HEAT WAVE

I, along with the rest of the world, haven’t been able to stop complaining about this worldwide global-warming induced heat wave. That is until now. With temperatures reaching over 100-degree’s in some part of England, soccer hotties are finding new and delicious ways to keep cool. I say two thumbs up for Global Warming and two legs up for Chelsea’s Didier Drogba (L) and Michael Essien as they try to beat the heat.

LANCE ARMSTRONG STAY COOL

There is a new, but unproven theory, which claims that Lance Armstrong is so hot, that his body spanked testicular cancer right outta his flawless physique. “According to three Johns Hopkins University researchers, the reason for the good prognosis might have to do with the fact that the temperature of the testicles is a few degrees cooler than the rest of the body. That’s to enhance development of sperm, but it might also make cancer that develops there sensitive to heat, the researchers said.” The full article can be read here.

IS THIS A JOKE?

On July 17th I posted a blog in reference to Chivas-Galaxy Men’s soccer teams and a catholic mass held prior to the game. I prayed that would be the end of this absurd Religion & Hotties collaboration. No such luck. Now, jumping on the Jesus bandwagon, the Atlanta Braves will hold the first of three “Faith Day” promotions after their game against the Marlins tomorrow. John Smoltz will “talk about his faith” and Christian bands will perform. Third Coast Sports President & Partner Brent High, whose company is promoting the Braves’ Faith Day, came up with the ASININE idea. The Reject spoke: “The Braves are the tip of the iceberg. We’re in very serious negotiations with teams in every sports league you can imagine –- NFL, NBA, NHL and MLS.” (Atlanta Constitution). What’s next? Communion at home plate? Baptisms on the field? Seder prior to Friday night games? Perhaps a more “conservative” dress code for fans? This religious takeover of sports must be stopped before those of us who routinely break the Ten Commandments are banned from the games. The closest thing to God I wanna see in sports is the old-school Jesus-style Johnny Damon. I will not be redeemed and my sinful hottie filled thoughts will never ease up. Pa-leeze, for the love of David Beckham, keep your Faith to yourselves. We will not be swayed from the Church of Athlebritolgy.

CHARLES BARKLEY FOR GOVERNOR?

According to the Birmingham News, Charles Barkley, self proclaimed democrat, said he is seriously considering a run for governor of Alabama as early as 2010.

That’s it for now. As always, thanks for reading. Delinda
