LOVE IT

Although not a huge fan of Spike TV, I gotta give some creativity-love for their new show ‘Wild World of Spike.’ The seven-episode comedic action series focuses more on the agony of defeat than the thrill of victory. The show will be hosted by super-fine mixed martial arts fighter Kit Cope, sexy skateboarding legend (R) Jason Ellis and comedian Sam Tripoli. In each episode, the three hosts screen bizarre sporting events from their living room. Then, the hotties select events to re-create. The games they re-create in the premiere episode include: blind-folded kick-boxing from Phuket, Thailand; female sumo wrestling from the Netherlands; mop-jousting from Manchester, England and dirt-skiing from Turangi, New Zealand. The series premieres in January 2007, so I’m sure we’ll forget about it by then…unless they can recreate that fabulous moment when “Corky” the streaker took a swan dive off the 18th hole during the Ryder Cup. (See posting for September 24th if ya missed it).

NFL HOTTIES IN ACTION

Yesterday, I went to see the hotties up close and personal for the Chargers-Steelers game. In a gesture to my Steelers-crazy friend, I abided by her birthday wish and became a Face Painter. It actually wasn’t as bad as I anticipated, although keep in mind that face painting is effective at cock-blocking any interaction with the players. The Chargers killed the Steelers 23-13 and Shawne Merriman couldn’t have looked any hotter.

COLTS AND TITANS: Start ‘em while they are young…this young Colts fan has obviously been reading my blog. She knows a good thing when she sees it and reacts perfectly to the agility of Hunter Smith… SAINTS AND TAMPA BAY: Reggie Bush is no longer a virgin. Bush scored his first NFL touchdown on a 65-yard punt return in the fourth quarter of their game against Tampa Bay. With Bush’s touchdown the Saints won 24-21.

WALK THE ROPES WITH YOUR GOLF HOTTIE
The PGA Tour has announced a fabulous promotion. The Tour has teamed up with Coca-Cola and TicketReserve to offer “passionate” golf fans VIP Championship Club access to the Tour. Here’s how it works, first, pick your favorite hottie from the 30 players that qualify, including Camilo Villegas. Then buy a “Fan Forward” on your hottie, (all proceeds go to the First Tee charity, so don’t complain), and if your kat qualifies for the Tour Championships, you get free tickets. The best part? If your chosen PGA Tour hottie is the 30th player to qualify for the Tour Championship, you will be entered into a sweepstakes for your chance to win 2 Honorary Observer Spots. Translation…you and a guest walk inside the ropes with the hotties & their caddies. Look out boys, here I come.

CADDY ME
While searching for ways to feed my obsession with Athlebrities, I came across a cure. It’s called Caddyforacure.com. If I had to make this up, I would have written exactly the same thing as they have on their website: Caddy for a Cure provides the ultimate in golf experiences – the opportunity to caddie for a Tour Professional during the practice round of an official Tour event. Be “inside the ropes” with the best players in the world, experiencing first hand their practice regimen. Experience club selection and shot execution to perfection. Experience what it feels like to feel up walk with your kat on one of the most recognizable courses in golf. And yes, Caddy for a Cure is a non-profit organization. To partake in this dangling carrot event, you bid e-bay style via the website for the right to caddie for your favorite beast. Twenty-two pros including Ernie Els, Retief Goosen, Sergio Garcia and Vijay Singh, are already involved in the charity. Check out www.caddyforacure.com.

CARDINALS GET WET

Albert Pujoles: arms, wet, hot. Period. Jose Vizcaino-ditto. The St. Louis Cardinals delivered the goods while celebrating their National League Division Series game against the Padres.

WHY IS SHE THERE?

Tim Duncan and Tony Parker tried to figure out why Eva Longoria was at the preseason game against Maccabi Elite Tel Aviv in Paris during the NBA Europe Live Tour. Rumor had it that they broke-up…maybe she’s stalking him, or maybe she has a new boyfriend? Eva was sitting with French soccer player Thierry Henry…

BACK TO SCHOOL

Yummy Jens Lehmann (R) and Oliver Neuville of the German national football team talked to lucky little raptors at the Fritz-Reuter primary school in eastern Germany today. Hotties from the team visited the children in the course of an initiative themed “School and Football - A Strong Team.”

I wouldn’t mind a little ‘strong team’ action with Italy’s Fabio Cannavaro & Luca Toni and his sideburns. The Italian soccer babes arrived in Tbilisi to play in the Euro 2008 qualifying soccer match between Georgia and Italy, which goes down on Wednesday.

YES!

The beast of biceps, Rafael Nadal, will be in action starting today at the Stockholm Open.

As always, thanks for reading. Delinda
