....................................

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?

....................................

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!
your turn!

  1. I went to school with Tom Brady--he wasn't a crush of mine then but he has aged well, hasn't he?

    When 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?

  6. GSP (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
    but 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!

  8. Oh 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.

  9. I'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:

    + 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! ;)

  12. Oh - 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!!
