don't you just love a slumber party? comfy pjs, silly movies, telling your friends, old & new, your thoughts & crushes & dreams.... such fun! join us! you can catchup with some of our other slumber party fun here: and for today's party question: who are your sporty crushes?
....................................
these days it's home openers for Major League Baseball (go jays!) , an eye toward the National Hockey League playoffs, readying for the National Basketball Association finals, and sign-up time for every fun spring and summer sport around for the kiddies.
so i ask, dear cuties... who are your sporty crushes?
you know, your secret loves from the athletic world?
i'll confess first....

tom brady
i know nothing, absolutely NOTHING about american style football.
i think i've watched one whole game in my life.
but i sure do think that tom brady's cute!
i love his fun clothing style, that great smile.
oh and did i mention that smile?
heavens.
thanks for letting us borrow him gisele.

jesse barfield
back in the day, there was no athlete i crushed on more then that smiley cutie jesse barfield. great player, nice guy. circa 1985,when i just started to be gaga for the toronto blue jays baseball team, i'm pretty sure there are dozens of diary pages, where i practiced my upcoming married moniker: mrs. kristal davis-barfield.
has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?

roberto mancini
is it wrong to have a crush on a whole group of folks? like say *any professional football (aka soccer) league coach who wears scarves and looks tremendously dashing?*
right.
during the 2010 world cup i came to realize that i had a sports crush on pretty much every major footballing team's stylish coach! wow. those suits? those fabulous scarves? (you know how i love a man in a scarf!) ... i ask: how can fans concentrate on the games?
if i must choose just one i'll go with roberto mancini., current manager of the Manchester City team. he's such a cutie (and not quite so controversial as that other coaching cutie: jose mourinho!)
..................
okay! so i've confessed!
there are my choices for top 3 sports crushes! now... let's snuggle into our cozy sleeping bags, open another bag of sour cream & onion chips, crank up queen's *we are the champions!* , giggle & whisper and hear yours! can't wait!

I went to school with Tom Brady--he wasn't a crush of mine then but he has aged well, hasn't he?
ReplyDeleteWhen I was in junior high I was IN LOVE (xxxooooxxxxooooo hearts, stars, flowers, initials entertwined in doodles) with Eric Lindros the NHL player.
And I grew up in Texas. How did this happen?
You went to school with Tom Brady, Jenni? LUCKY!
ReplyDeleteI still love Patrick Roy of the Montreal Canadiens! Or ANY goalie! :>
I also loved Michael Jordan back in the 90s.
SWOON!!!!!
Gotta love the old skool Blue Jays! I loved Dave Winfield, he always looked so nice! I think my #1 sports crush would be hubs...used to play football, so exciting! And I have to admit I did have a good crush on Brian Urlacher from the Chicago Bears. woot!
ReplyDeleteooooh! initials intertwined with doodles, jenni! i'm with ya! (eric lindros played in oshawa when i was a teenager so there was always lots of lindros buzz around here!
ReplyDeleteand michael jordan. yes moira.
i still think anything #23 is cool! :)
oh and dave winfield, julie? i'm with ya cutie!
ReplyDeleteGSP (Georges St-Pierre of the UFC). hands down, the sexiest athlete. i guess it helps that fighters only wear the tiniest, tightest little shorts... :D
ReplyDeletebut really, GSP is the only reason i watch UFC with my man. AND he's Canadian with the cutest French accent - doesn't get much better than that!
David Beckham... with or without hair on his head :D
ReplyDeleteOh Jonathan Papelbon from the Boston Red Sox makes my heart stop. What a cutie!!! Especially when he did an Irish jig in his boxer briefs after they won.
ReplyDeleteI'll second the vote for Beckham! And I'll add a few more, because when they're crushes, I think you're allowed to have more than one! More of my faves:
ReplyDelete+ Matt Tolbert on the Twins http://tinyurl.com/3f7b26m
+ Troy Polamalu of the Steelers
http://tinyurl.com/44965oe
+ Isaiah Mustafa - you adore him from the Old Spice ads, but he used to play in the NFL as well. http://tinyurl.com/3avuted
+ Andy Schleck of Tour de France fame

Enjoy, ladies! ;)

Oh my, hard to say. David Beckham's not hard on the eyes though is he?? :-)
ReplyDeleteOh - love this post!! I am totally crushed on Tom Brady - he is a beautiful specimen of a man. AND so amazing to watch play football. Check out the bottom picture on my blog on the sidebar - he is THE man (after my husband ;). Derek Jeter is my pick for baseball - even though he is on the wrong team!! I am a Red Sox fan! YUMMY and nice - perfect combination!!
ReplyDeleteha!
