Welcome to our inaugural ask D&D Q&A page.
This may be a new addition to my blog, but it is not a new addition to my life. Debbie is my Wonder Twin. We’ve been activated in many different forms over the years…meeting, touching, diagnosing, rating and admiring the hotties. We’ve got stories to tell and egos to burst. We’ve received a ton of email regarding Athlebrity status, which makes us oh-so–proud. Your emails also suggest that my sporno-hungry readers can accurately ‘read between the lines’. This week we’re going to start with a few of the most common questions:

Q: “Who would you say is the hottest Athlebrity you have actually met and what made them so HOT in person?”

Delinda: Without hesitation I would say Tiger Woods. Aside from his obvious sex appeal, the man has an aura, which you can actually feel as he approaches. He reeks of class. His body is outrageous. His smile is sincere and he is one of the most down to earth hotties I’ve ever encountered. I certainly wasn’t expecting someone of his stature to be so real, but what really and truly blew me away about this sexy beast, was his focus. And by focus, I mean eye contact. I’ve met a number of hotties in my time, and most of them are so wrapped up in themselves that their eyes are continually scanning the crowd for something bigger or better. Not Tiger. He is the only Athlebrity I’ve met who really looks you in the eye and makes you feel like there is no on else in the room.

Debbie: Damn are you kidding? They’re all fine! I’d have to say Kyle Korver was the most recent hottie to send me over the edge. Why? Because he showed two sides. First his grungy just rolled out of bed look with tussled unkempt hair under a ball cap as he concentrated on his poker hand - oh so hot. Then later that evening all cleaned up, styled, and sharp in a sexy suit that fit just perfectly. What a difference a day makes…mmmm…mmm…mmm

Delinda: Oh, hell yeah. Yummy Kyle. What makes him even hotter is the fact that he has absolutely no clue how super FINE he.

Q: “Have you ever met an Athlebrity who was hot at first but not after you met him? Who and why?”

Delinda: I hate this question! Most of the Athlebrities I meet act in one of three ways. They either treat me with respect, question my ‘motives’ via ‘let’s get naked’ or challenge me to a game of ‘sports trivia’. I’m not going to stoop to the level of naming anyone, but I can say that I recently met several ‘bad apples’ that challenged my integrity and insulted me on various levels. (The jury is still out on whether I’m going to post the highly suggestive photos we took of them.) In any case, these guys gave a questionable impromptu interview before one of them dropped his shorts and bared it all. Hands down, dude owns one of the finest bodies in sports, but come on, I don’t care who you are, keep your delusions of grandeur to yourself and your shorts on until the interview is over and your groupies arrive.

Debbie: Girl, we’re on the same page here! Let’s just say that hockey player looked oh so good holding his stick. But his arrogant attitude left a very bad taste in my mouth - especially later that evening when we ran into each other at a club. In the short, he’s permanently banned and his name is not worth mentioning - yet!

Delinda: Great minds think alike!

Q: “Do you ever post pictures from your readers?”

Delinda: We’d love to! When Chelsea was practicing at UCLA, one of my readers sent in photos of the hotties. With so many Athlebrities and so little time, we need as many eyes out there as possible.

Debbie: For sure. If anyone has a story to tell and photos to share, send it in. We’d love to post it and share your hot encounter. And you’ll get a free T-shirt for showing your Athlebrity support.

Q: “Is there anyone who you have met that did not live up to their image in the media?”

Delinda: I’ve been very vocal on this subject for years. Barry Bonds for sure. His skewed media-image has been created by a bunch of scorned writers who often misrepresent the big guy due to his lack of social interactions with them. If you actually listen to the people who know him, you’ll be hard pressed to find a negative comment.

Debbie: Agreed. This alleged hot-tempered and arrogant home run leader is really one of the nicest, funniest and most generous Athlebrities I’ve encountered. He opened up to us and let us into his life with no strings or expectations attached. His media image is nothing but bull.

Q: “You claim not to be groupies, what makes you so different?”

Delinda: First, let’s define “groupie” here. Groupies are well known for thier long-standing tradition of being available for, and willing to have sex with “famous” people. Some groupies trade sexual favors for rewards, trophies, bragging rights, or their 15 minutes of fame. We operate a little differently. Most importantly, neither one of us has ever “put-out” to get close to an Athlebrity. Not to say that oppportunies haven’t come our way, but in our line of work, the saying “don’t shit where you eat” goes hand in hand with self-respect. We have partied with some of the hottest Athlebrites and managed to indulge in their beauty with our clothes on and feet on the floor. And that, my friends, is what it’s all about.

Debbie: Damn straight girl! Groupies are desperate and will do anything to meet their celebrity. We never stoop to anything that will compromise our morals, and we’ve never had to.

Q: “How do you choose which hottie to write about each day on your site? It seems like there are so many sports hotties?”

Delinda: Any hottie chosen for the site must have ‘celebrity status’ in the sports world. Status is bred from wicked athletic skills, a fine-tuned body, class, personality, marketing potential, entertainment value, the “It” factor, and income.

Starting this week, D&D will let you know who’s made our “Hot List” and who’s been downgraded. Our “Hot List” has very strict and well-established guidelines for making the cut. In order to be considered for the List, an Athlebrity must meet the following criteria, in order of importance:
1. Body and looks- these guys have got to fuel us with photos, keeping it hot and sexy.
2. Appeal on and off the playing field-mandatory to look good both in and out of the uniform.
3. Entertainment value: they must make personal appearances, host charity events, and never, ever say no to Calvin Klein or Ed Hardy.

Q: “How do the hotties stay on your ‘hot-list’?”
If an Athlebrity wants to be on top – and stay there for a while, he must keep us interested in his game. We’ve been known to grant additional “points” if an Athlebrity woos our libidos with some of the following:
1. Any positive interaction with D&D at any game, event, or bar.
2. Doing anything ‘accidentally’ sexy, like pouring cold water down his bare chest during practice on a scorching hot day.
3. Being quoted as saying anything sexy or witty, such as “Damn baby you fine, but you ain’t no Janet Jackson.”
4. Participating in community activities and outreach- boys, you gotta give something back once in a while.
5. Giving us cool ‘trophies’ like jerseys, dog tags, sunglasses, or a bottle of Belvedere with incriminating fingerprints on it after a major league game of ‘spin-the-bottle’.
6. And just because we say so, no reason needed if you’re that hot.

Athlebrities can also downgrade or permanently ban an athlete for:
1. Dissing D&D in any way, shape or form.
2. By not trying to be on our hot list.
3. Selling out to funky brands like ‘Avon’.
4. Dating anyone from the cast of Desperate Housewives, etc.
5. Being linked to baby Suri in any way, shape, or form.
6. Being caught driving under the influence with a hooker in the car.
7. Being too arrogant for your own britches, or ours.
8. Lying about steroid usage.
9. Admitting steroid usage.
10. Not maintaining any of the criteria for making the list (e.g. getting out of shape, dressing like a fool, purposely staying in seclusion with your new actress girlfriend, or making smoothies at your own juice bar.)
11. Just because we say so. We can downgrade or ban without explanation…if you don’t make the list, we’re not gonna tell you why, so figure it out and work on it baby- we love anyone that tries.

We love answering your questions, so check back every Sunday for our Q&A session. And pa-leeze, we want to know what YOU think. Agree with us? Wanna downgrade a hottie? Have an encounter to share? Hit us up.

And yes, we will answer stat related questions, but we don’t care about how many passes Tom Brady completed in his rookie year, what we do care about is the number of magazine covers he’s graced. And no, we didn’t “go to the game,” we went to “batting practice”…hello! Why don’t we see more of you out there watching these hotties limbering up prior to the game? A herd of super-fine athletes, enduring the heat of the summer, basking under the sun like a pride of lions. It’s a no brainer. Remember, it’s about loving the athletes, not just the games.

Till next week, thanks for reading. D&D.
