Top 5 Hottest Female Athletes

Inspired by USA’s loss to Japan, here are the top 5 hottest female athletes.

5. Hope Solo
I’m pretty sure not many people have heard of her before this world cup but I still think she deserves the publicity. Is she one of the best female goaltenders? Who cares. At 29, she has a pretty face and is 100% marketable. She’s certainly better than Abby Wambach who is their best player. I probably wouldn’t have included her in this list if she wasn’t current but here she is anyway.


4. Natalie Gulbis
She’s rumored to be dating Dustin Johnson but don’t hold me to that. She deserves bonus points for being a female golfer. Female golfers have the reputation for being butch, lesbians, and way too strong for their own good. Natalie obviously is just plain hot. I found her spreads in FHM where she’s wearing a bikini less attractive than the two pics I picked. That back arching picture is unreal by the way.

3. Allison Stokke
I don’t really have much information about her other than she’s a pole vaulter for the Univ of California. It seems like she’s above average but not the cream of the crop usually placing 8th -15th in meets. I don’t really think I need to do much explaining why she is making this list.

2. Bia and Branca Feres
I’ve been following this sport for a while now and I’d say it’s pretty unbelievable. The grace, elegance and athletic ability are sensational for this sport. What sport am I referring to? Synchronized swimming of course and these two hotties are showing us why the popularity is growing. I’m not even sure if they air this sport but why the heck not.

Leryn Franco
She is a 28 year old Paraguayan model and athlete (better known for her modeling). She was 42 out of 45 in the Athens Olympics competing in the Javelin. Even though she’s the Anna Kournikova of Javelin, I’m pretty sure she’ll be OK.

Some notables off the list are Anna Kournikova, Maria Sharapova, Jennie Finch, Heather Mitts, Ashley Force,

Philly Mud Run 2011 – 1st place

The results are in and I got finished in 1st place out of 1450. It sounds better than it really is because the competition is pretty weak. I’ll go through each obstacle and my thoughts on the race and how I prepared. I woke up at 5:30 or so and picked up my packet at the race. There was no line and no reason not to just pick it up race day. I ate a pop tart or two and felt like I had to rock a deuce but I wasn’t going to because than I’d just feel uncomfortable the whole race. The military group goes off first and than runners who plan on running under 8 minute miles. This should give you an idea of what type of people compete. I started off pretty slow but so did the entire pack. The first obstacle is a 50 ft net that you have to crawl under on your stomach. I was with a group of 3 college kids to start and took the lead after the first mile. The next obstacle is some sort of hurdle that is relatively simple if you have any arm strength at all. There is about 2 miles or so of running in the woods and a pretty nasty hill that leads up to more military hurdles. There are 3 hurdles in a row that I would imagine give some people fits but I pretty much was able to jump right up and over. Next they had a tube that you had to get through on your hands and knees. At this point I was still leading the race with no one really close and I was closing in on the military leaders who started 4 minutes ahead. Next they had another tube, a cargo net and than a small mud pit you had to dive through. I thought this was so dumb because it completely water logged my shoes for the last 2 miles. I was still leading when I got to the rock wall which was a breeze. Then the shampoo ramp which you have to climb up on your stomach wasn’t so bad. I actually went off course for a few steps before I realized I was going the wrong way and it cost me about 5-10 seconds. Finally the mud which is a 50 yard pit that you have to climb through on your stomach, military style. Just when I thought I had the race locked up, some bro comes out of nowhere and dives in the mud at nearly the same time I did. He must have had alligator blood or something because he annihilated me. He probably won by 10 yards at least. I finished dead tired because that mud pit is completely tiresome and I couldn’t see because my contacts got water in front. 2nd isn’t too bad though and I’ll send a link to my place when it shows up. Overall, I had a fun time and will probably be back next year.

A look at the NBA – 82′ to 11′

I was watching some footage of the 82′ Sixers playing the Boston Celtics in the playoffs and the game looked noticeably different compared to today. Players seemed slower, less fancy moves, more defense, less 3’s and obviously more passing. This got me thinking to compare some of the stats of games in the 80’s to the present day. What I found was pretty interesting. Here are the league leading teams and their totals for the year. Take into consideration this is just the highest total of that era and not the average, thus making these numbers meaningless.

  • Total Points 82′ Nuggets 10,105, 11′ Nuggets 8,811 – I think this is pretty interesting that in 82′ they were scoring almost 15 points more per game. I guess my less defense claim is out of the question. Perhaps the Nuggets are just always run and gun?
  • FG % 82′ Lakers – 52.8%, 11′ Celtics – 48.6% – Higher shooting % makes sense considering they are scoring more points and taking better shots.
  • Asst 82′ Lakers- 2,519, 11′ Rockets – 1,953 (Heat had 1,639 this year) – This is pretty amazing in my opinion. A 566 difference means almost 7 assists more a game. This is essentially 7 easy buckets a game that were coming from good passes in the old days. Players were obviously not as selfish compared with “trying to get theirs”.
  • 3 pointers 82′ Spurs – 308 Attempted, 94 Made. 11′ Magic – 2103 Attempted, 770 Made – How the game has changed. In 2011, the team shooting the most 3’s are attempting 7x more then almost 30 years ago. These numbers are really startling and I guess this explains why FG% is down. Notice how the 3 point line doesn’t necessarily lead to more points put on the board. I think someone needs to clue the players in on this fact.
  • Blocks 82′ Hawks – 665, 11′ 502- Wizards – I’m not sure if this is relevant to anything.
  • Rebounds 82′ Sixers – 3930, 11′ TWolves – 3641 – I think this proves it was a faster paced up and down game with more shots being taken. Funny how Kevin Love’s O board’s swing this to the Wolves.
  • Steals 82′ Nets – 911, 11′ Grizzlies – 771 – More possessions I’m guessing.
  • FT% 82′ Nuggets – 80%, 11′ Thunder – 82% – No noticeable difference in shooting caliber.
  • TO 82′ Dallas – 1348, 11′ 76ers 1063 – More possessions led to more turnovers.
  • Attendance 82′ Lakers 648,244, 11′ Bulls 893,462 – Bigger arena’s is my guess as it seems the popularity of the NBA has actually gotten weaker.

    • So what’s the conclusion? It seems a bit counter intuitive that the addition of the 3 point line has led to less points being scored. However when a team is shooting 1800 more 3’s in a season and they make roughly 33% (in reality its 36% but for the example), they score 1800 points. With those extra 1800 possessions a team shooting twos will score roughly 1800 points (50% FG%). HOWEVER, the team shooting twos are more likely to get fouled whereas the team shooting 3’s almost never gets fouled. On 1800 possessions, you may get found 1 once every 7 possessions. This leads to getting fouled 257 times. This could be an additional 450 points? I think that may be some explanation why they scored more points 30 years ago. Anyone’s guess on how often they go to the line on a possession basis would be welcome.

    Blocks, steals and rebounds are all down comparably in present form. This is just because of more possessions by each team. The game back then must have taken shots earlier in the possession or ran the fast break more often. I think this makes sense as to why points per game are higher and FG% is up too. Notice TO’s are way down which pretty much proves the less possessions. I think people preferred basketball back 30 years ago because it was more run and gun. I’m sure the game was more physical due to teams constantly attacking the rim. I think the talent was also a little more diverse. Meaning the better players were much better than some of the scrubs on the roster. This maybe added to the excitement of having a “star” on the team.

    The only thing wrong with this analysis is that I could look at a year ahead or a year behind and the numbers could be completely skewed (I doubt it though). I still think its interesting to see how the game has evolved. The 3 point line is obviously the biggest change to the game. I think a fair answer to the question “what is the biggest change in basketball 30 years ago compared with today” is the 3 point line. After reading this post, now you can argue that with conviction. Comment if you enjoyed this.

    Root, Root, Root for the Home Team

    So I’ve got a hard on for Chuck Klosterman and I pretty much consider him to be smarter than all of my readers so I want to share with you some thoughts about some things that we agree on but he can actually explain better than me. I’ve written how I don’t like the Phillies, baseball in general really, and I’m not just going to jump on the bandwagon because they are good. Here’s Klosterman’s wording on rooting for the home team just because.

    “I hate the idea that rooting for a team without justification somehow proves that you are traditional, loyal, and a “true fan”. All it proves is that you’re ridiculous, and that you don’t really consider the motivations that drive your emotions, and that you probably care more about geography and the color of a uniform than you do about any given sport.”
    People basically just like things because they feel like they should to either fit in because they are insane.

    I thought another interesting line from this essay was this:
    “Whenever I meet someone who openly identifies themselves as a Republican or a Democrat, my immediate thought is always, well, this person might be interesting, but they’ll never say anything about politics that’s remotely useful to me… If you want to truly deduce how intelligent someone is, just ask this person how they feel about any issue that doesn’t have an answer; the more certainly they express, the less sense they have. This is because certainty only comes from dogma.

    He goes on to write that “life is fucking confusing. I don’t know anything, and neither do you.” I think a large part of being a person is trying to convince yourself you know what you’re doing. I’m rooting for the Phillies because I like baseball. No, you’re rooting for the Phillies because they are the best team and baseball and you want to feel a part of it. Tell me how many of you would still be watching every game if they were as good as they were back in 97′ when they went 68-94. I know I’m right about this. I understand why people do it too. It makes life “better”. It gives you something to look forward to. I’m not saying this applies to everyone because I’m sure there are die hard fans who actually like watching baseball for the baseball but these are far and few between compared to all the faux fans out there. People can say I’m being a complete sourpuss on this topic but at least I know I’m for real. I’d rather have my own identity instead of being one of the lemmings about to fall over the cliff.

    Kemp’s Kid

    I read an article on Yahoo and just felt this was a worthy news story because of JKash’s love of Shawn Kemp. I’m going to take out some blurbs from it and analyze. If you are not familiar with Shawn Kemp (who isn’t?), a quick history is he was an all-star power forward who played with the Seattle Supersonics. He had tremendous athletic ability and after he finished his stint in the NBA he had drug issues and tons of women who had his children. This article had to do with his son being accepted to play College ball.

    The above picture is of Shawn Kemp Jr. He is 6-10 and signed to play for the Washington Huskies for next year. Here are some of the better blurbs from the article.

    “Kemp Jr. initially signed with Alabama in 2008 and later committed to Auburn in 2009, but wasn’t academically eligible to enroll at either school. He spent the 2009-10 season at Hargrave Military Academy and the last school year away from basketball in order to shore up his academics so he could enroll at Washington.” – How old is he now? He’ll be a 21 year old Freshmen I suppose.

    “The eldest of at least eight different kids Kemp Sr. fathered with at least six mothers, Kemp Jr. grew up without his father in his life for most of his childhood.” – The last line is important.

    “According to Kvam, Kemp Jr. and his father have grown closer since high school.” – On a whim I’m just assuming Shawn Kemp Sr. has had some financial difficulties. Now that one of his 8 children have potential dollar signs, it’s time to cozy up. Obviously Mr. Kemp was a smart man and knew that his sperm could produce some athletes. 1 out of 8 ain’t bad.

    RIP Armon Gilliam

    AP report
    A sad day with the hammer passing on.


    I think it’s funny how Scottie passes to Michael even though it’s not in rhythm or even on a good spot of the court. Guaranteed assist though.

    Vintage Youth BBall

    This is our Championship game back when we were in 6th and 7th grade. There is more footage but I’m not the greatest with the video editing software and this was the best I could do. Pretty much just Chad and I as 13 year olds. Loads of cameo’s though.

    The best part about this one is in the second half of the clip when my dad is screaming “Chad, be cool” and he fires up a shot that misses the rim by a foot. The back of little JKash’s head makes an appearance.

    Back when I could shoot.

    Can’t slow down the man from putting the ball in the basket, LEFTY?!?!?!.

    Silky Smooth Jumper.

    Lebron takes too much Heat

    I’m going to voice my opinion on Lebron because everyone else is. If you don’t like Lebron because he’s too cocky, I think you are barking up the wrong tree. People who know nothing about basketball (these people tend to voice their opinion the loudest) don’t understand that Lebron is an amazing basketball player. Let me run through his lines real quick in the 2011 finals:
    Game 1 – 9-16, 4-5 3pt, 9reb, 4ast
    Game 2 – 8-15, 2-7 3pt, 8reb, 4ast, 4 st
    Game 3 – 6-14, 1-4 3pt, 3reb, 9ast, 2 st
    Game 4 – 3-11, 0-3 3pt, 9reb, 7ast, 2 st
    Game 5 – 8-19, 0-4 3pt, 10reb, 10 ast

    Here are MJ’s Finals average stats, possibly the best playoff player ever.
    FG% – .481, 3pt% -.368, RPG – 6.0, APG – 6.0, PPG 33.6

    Here’s the thing, HE’S NOT BETTER THEN MICHAEL JORDAN. Scottie Pippen is just yacking because he can. Stats don’t really matter because MJ went to the finals 6 times and won them all. Lebron isn’t MJ but his stats clearly show he’s doing something. Maybe he’s not a winner like MJ, but he’s the reason his teams are consistently going to the finals. When people like to say he sucks I just have to laugh. You try being the talk of Sportscenter after every single game and see how you handle it. I know it’s hard to defend Lebron because his mannerisms seem so laddi da but the guy is a winner. He’s not MJ, but doesn’t deserve the flack. Can your team ever be better without Lebron? He also hasn’t even lost the Finals yet so let’s just see how he finishes up before we are saying he’s disappearing every game.

    Rave Raven’s Claw Review

    Raven’s Claw – Pottstown, Pa
    9.5/10

    I felt it was necessary to give Raven’s Claw an honest review because people don’t seem to understand its value. We paid 49 dollars to tee off at 1:50 (their twilight is 2) and we actually started at 1:40. Tell me how many other courses actually tee you off before your tee time (and give you the twilight rate). They also give you a players card which allows the a 10th round for free after you pay for 9 rounds. Just another amenity that makes you want to play this course. The staff was also extremely friendly and the club house is kept clean, neat, and organized. We even ate at their restaurant after our round and the food was good and beer was priced right. Back to the golf.

    We played from the blue tee boxes which measure a shade under 6400 yards which should explain the 400+ yard par 4’s and 600 yard par 5. This is not your beginners course. The first hole is a relatively straight par 5 which is probably one of the easier holes on the course but I haven’t had much success. The course really delivers challenging shot after challenging shot. The length wasn’t even the issue as I was driver, 9 iron a decent amount of the time on the par 4’s. Even on holes where I was hitting a 2 iron or 3 wood off the tee, I was getting there in 2. The par 5’s played fair and the par 3’s are really where you can score because they are not that difficult. The par 4’s are usually winding dog legs where long, straight drives make them doable. If you can’t get off the tee though, you are going to have some problems. The 230 yard par 3, 17th, is probably the hardest hole for the novice. It plays like a par 4 essentially and you ob is happening if you hit the ball right. You really want to play from the fairway because hitting out of the rough can prove cumbersome. On 16 I topped my drive right into some thick stuff and I my next shot literally went 15 yards as my club was just eaten up by the rough.

    The biggest issue of the course was the pace of play as our round took us about 4 and half hours. This is of no fault of the course though as they have rangers who are making sure people are keeping pace. Problem was the two groups ahead of use, both twosomes, were plain bad and if you are bad on this course, you are going to be spending a lot of time searching for your ball. However, if you are the only person on the course, I think you can play a 3 hour round. I also didn’t feel like they over crowded the course as there was no wait on the tee-box. The bottom line is that this course is the premier course of this area. I’ve played most Montgomery County courses and this is in a league of it’s own. Also their pricing is completely fair for a golf course of this caliber. This is the best value in our area, no if, ands, or buts.

    Jamaal Charles Loves the End Zone

    JKash noted that people love him as much as Jamaal loves the end zone. If you love Jamaal as much as I do, you’d know that Jamaal can break 70 yard runs on a week by week basis but for some reason he loses sight of that rectangular, 10 yard area. He found the end zone 8 times last year (including receiving td’s) which puts him right around 15th in scores by running backs. However, in terms of rushing yards (#2 behind Foster) and receiving yards by rb’s (#9), Jamaal should undoubtedly be a top 5 RB pick next year. What’s the problem, he doesn’t love the end zone as much as we thought. Correlation, people must not love JKash as much as he thinks and that’s coming straight from his own words. Now, JKash and I have had talks about how much some people love the end zone and I’m going to guess it’s not Jamaal’s fault he isn’t finding the holy land. It’s that goddamn bastard Thomas Jones stealing the goal line carries. When we see Thomas Jones has 6 rushing TD’s, all of which should be Jamaal’s, that lifts him up to the upper echelon of RB’s. JKash you should feel privileged to be mentioned as many times as you are in the same post as Jamaal. With the amount of times people are googling “JKash”, combined with people’s love of Jamaal, it’s hard for me to believe this isn’t going to be the greatest post of all time. If Jamaal ever comes to Philly, I think we have to meet him.
