Pro Sports Spice: The Hottest Male Athletes

My last blogs have been a little serious, so I thought I would lighten things up a bit by talking about some of the hottest professional guys the athletic world has to offer. Now, keep in mind I am an Oklahoma Sooners and Oklahoma City Thunder fan and I do play favorites. Either way, you will appreciate the following delicious eye candy. ENJOY!

RYAN LOCHTE

SWIMMER

ELEVEN-TIME OLYMPIC MEDALIST, TEAM USA

After seeing his interviews at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, its clear Ryan Lochte isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer, but who cares? I'm not marrying him and he's easy on the eyes. He has also admitted to not being into long term relationships, but rather choosing to enjoy the booty call route. Hey, Ryan - whatever floats your floaties.

CAM NEWTON

NFL QUARTERBACK

CAROLINA PANTHERS

Well, hello handsome. This Auburn Tiger has some serious stripes. Not only is he the 2010 Heisman Trophy winner, but he sustained from tattooing or piercing his beautiful bod in order to claim a spot on the Panthers roster. But if you ask me, it is tough to improve on perfection in his case. He can take my snap any day.

DAVID BECKHAM

MLS MIDFIELDER

LOS ANGELES GALAXY

Despite the fact that his wife desperately needs a Twinkie, I don't think there is a sexiest athletes list "Becks" is not a part of. An import from across the pond, this father of four admittedly suffers from OCD. And I'm not talking about Obviously Conditions Deliciously. Though I am pretty sure he has succumbed to that illness, as well.

SERGE IBAKA

NBA POWER FORWARD/CENTER

OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER

Did anyone else feel a "Serge" in their nether regions? Born in the Republic of Congo, this 23-year-old played professional ball in Spain before officially being picked up by the Thunder in 2009. Upon his arrival in the US, he actually worked with teammates to learn English and was fluent after a year. He can talk to me in any language as long as its without a shirt.

SAM BRADFORD

NFL QUARTERBACK

ST. LOUIS RAMS

Falling into the "So Goofy He's Cute" category, I have to admit there is something incredibly endearing (and sexy) about an "Awww shucks" Oklahoma boy. Another Heisman winner on this list, Sammy was the first overall draft pick in 2010. He also holds the NCAA record for the most touchdown passes by a freshman quarterback with 36. Coincidentally, that is the same age I was when he was drafted. Probably a sign he should marry me.

MIKE FISHER

NHL CENTER

NASHVILLE PREDATORS

Lovingly referred to as "Mr. Carrie Underwood" in Nashville, Mike Fisher is an Ontario native who was traded from the Ottawa Senators to the Predators so he could be closer to his wife. And yes, he is married, but there is no crime in looking and looking I shall. But, who is looking at Carrie when he's on her arm? Plus, in the off-season, he spends his time helping kids at hockey camps. If nothing else, think about the children!

ALEX RODRIGUEZ

MLB THIRD BASEMAN/SHORTSOP

NEW YORK YANKEES

I'm sorry. Did you say something? I was a little distracted staring at the above photo. Rumored to be somewhat of a playboy, Alex Poo has been linked to Madonna, Kate Hudson, Cameron Diaz, strippers, and prostitutes. So, an overzealous sexual appetite and a womanizer? Well, I'll just admire the physical prowess from seats at third base. Insert "third base" joke here.

REGGIE BUSH

NFL RUNNING BACK

MIAMI DOLPHINS

Admittedly, this handsome devil wasn't going to make my list because I question the sanity and intellect of any human being who chooses to date Kim Kardashian. However, he was caught up in the Kardashian publicity slant machine and I will forgive him since he no longer dates an attention whore. In fact, Reggie has admitted he prefers a life out of the spotlight when not on the gridiron. Of course, I know plenty of women willing to snuggle beside him on the couch for a cozy night "in."

KELLY SLATER

SURFER

50-TIME WCT SURFER CHAMP, TEAM USA

Oh come on! Is this guy for real? I mean, his eyes alone could cause spontaneous orgasm. Do yourself a favor and Google Images search him. It is unreal. Evidence he is only getting riper with age, the 40-year-old Florida native's favorite spots to "hang ten" include Hawaii, Australia, California, South Africa, and Barbados. Well, I do believe I can name about a hundred people off the top of my head willing to be his, ahem, travel partner.

SONNY BILL WILLIAMS

NRL SECOND ROW/LOCKE/CENTER

TEAM NEW ZEALAND

Like what you see? Not only is this fabulous foreigner tearing it up on the rugby pitch, but he is also a professional boxer. In fact, he recently signed a contract to play with Japan's Panasonic Wild Knights under the condition that he would be able to fight one boxing match during the season. A bit of a bad boy, the sexy Sonny has been busted driving drunk, peeing in an alleyway, and roughing up a photographer. I am so turned on right now.

ADRIAN PETERSON

NFL RUNNING BACK

MINNESOTA VIKINGS

This oh-so handsome Oklahoma Sooner gives new meaning to the words "Yo Adrian!" Described as one of the NFL's best running backs, he is also the league's highest paid running back in history, earning a $96 million dollar, 7-season paycheck. Plus, his professional nickname is "All Day" or "AD" for short. But let's be honest. We can also hope that is his personal nickname, too.

BODE MILLER

ALPINE SKIER

FIVE-TIME OLYMPIC MEDALIST, TEAM USA

Bode is the most successful American Alpine skier of all time. A regular at the Winter Olympics and World Championships, the New Hamspshire hottie also touts some serious "boy next door" good looks. A father with a reputation for not being a nice guy to the press, he recently announced his engagement to pro beach volleyballer Morgan Beck. Well, hey, Bode if things don't work out with you two...

DANNY AMENDOLA

NFL WIDE RECEIVER

ST. LOUIS RAMS

I think "Amend" love! The second Ram on this delicious list, this Mexican-American Texan is one of the few things I like about Texas. Indeed, I am aware that he aided in a Texas Tech defeat over my Oklahoma Sooners, but I am willing to forgive him now that he is catching passes from Sam Bradford. Besides, he is so incredibly sponge worthy.

LEWIS HAMILTON

FORMULA ONE RACE DRIVER

TEAM UK

To quote Billy Ocean "Hey! You! Get into my car!" Named after American sprinter Carl Lewis, this British babe dated a Pussycat Doll and was named a Member of the Order of the British Empire by the Queen herself in 2009. And here's a bonus: he recently moved his home estate from Switzerland to Monaco. And don't pretend you didn't just go straight to Orbitz to find one way tickets there.

CALVIN JOHNSON

NFL WIDE RECEIVER

DETROIT LIONS

I find it interesting that I had more straight men suggest "Megatron" for this list than straight women. But now I have a "Megacrush."  Drafted in 2007, he is said to be the highest paid wide receiver in the NFL. But the best part about Calvin is he has a reputation for being a gentleman and remaining humble despite his astounding paycheck. I still wouldn't kick him out of bed for snacking... on me.

ALEX RIOS
MLB RIGHT FIELDER

CHICAGO WHITE SOX

Sexy Soxer Alex (triple x you guys!) throws and bats right-handed, which means his left hand is for... massages? We can only hope. Hailing from Alabama, Alex has reportedly bounced back this year after having somewhat of a poor performance in 2011. Now, what lucky lady wants to jump on board and give this guy an even more pleasant 2013? (I just raised my hand.) 

JAKE DALTON
GYMNAST

TEAM USA

I chose Jake for the hottie list without even knowing he was an Oklahoma Sooner. So, that makes 3 Sooners in the lineup. Boomer Sooner to that! Originally from Nevada, Jake was on the 2012 USA Men's Olympic Gymnastics team and has won various national and international honors. But, seriously folks. Any dismount he does within 5 feet of me will be scored a perfect ten! (Yes, I know they don't use that scoring system anymore, but humor me.)

CRISTIANO RENALDO
REAL MADRID FOOTBALLER

TEAM PORTUGAL

Have mercy! Even this guy's name sounds sexy. As usual, he isn't just stacked, he is a standout soccer star being paid close to $131 million bucks when he transferred from Manchester United to Madrid in 2009. Known for dating international models, Cristiano became a father in 2010 and has sole custody of his son who -- surprise -- is also named Cristiano. Oh sweetie. Trust us. There can only be one of you. And you are yummy.

THABO SEFOLOSHA
NBA GUARD/FORWARD

OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER

I lovingly like to refer to this guy as "Sefolicious" -- and you can probably guess why. Born in Switzerland, he  can speak French, Italian, and English and has a very pretty wife named Bertille. In 2006, when he was initially drafted by the Bulls, he was the first Swiss basketball player to join the NBA. (At least that's according to his bio.) Welcome to the USA, and please, send Bertille home. Kidding. Maybe.

AND... there you have it folks some of the hottest professional athletes out there. Big thanks to all who made suggestions. I was originally going to do just ten athletes, but so many suggestions came in, that I extended it to 19. Feel free to scroll up and drink in the hotness again. I know I have. Repeatedly.
