Enjoy the view

Sorry if this shows up in your reader more than once. I had a Mr. Linky malfunction.

Last week, Tom, the lone male BFLer, came out on top of the league.

To commemorate his win, I have decided to reflect on what football is really all about--men. More specifically, men with athletic butts in tight pants getting sweaty purely for our entertainment. Yep, that my friends, is football.

(And allow me to just say how hard it was not to slap myself silly while writing that paragraph.)

This week I am taking my inspiration from Jen's Friday Eye Candy over at Daily Mish Mash. Before I post my picks this week, I am going to take a few moments to share with you some of the more attractive sights from the gridiron. (Thanks to my Twitter friends for contributing to this list.)

Apparently, the ladies of the BFL have quite a thing for quarterbacks. My personal favorite?










I know a lot of people have lost their love of Brett after the whole retirement debacle. But seriously? If he asked me to be his center, I certainly wouldn't say no.

I was also directed to Jesse Palmer (who apparently was loved even in his pre-Bachelor days) and David Carr, who really should never sit on a bench behind Eli Manning (just sayin').












Clearly, my friends know what they're talking about when discussing hot.

No tour of the hot men of the NFL would be complete without Reggie.











I believe this nomination was qualified by the statement "He's hot like a burning bush."

And just so we're clear that man-ogling is not all about offense, I give you Brian Urlacher.











Oh yes, bald is beautiful.


One of the tough things about finding good-looking men in football is that their faces are usually covered by a helmet. Not these guys.









(I realize I may be one of the only people on the planet who has a thing for Jeff Fisher. I totally can't explain it myself. It is what it is, though.)

And with visions of those men floating through your heads, here are my picks for the week:

Oakland @ Baltimore
Arizona @ Carolina
Tampa Bay @ Dallas
Washington @ Detroit
Buffalo @ Miami
St. Louis @ New England
San Diego @ New Orleans
Kansas City @ NY Jets
Atlanta @ Philadelphia
Cleveland @ Jacksonville
Cincinnati @ Houston
NY Giants @ Pittsburgh (I am doing this so the Hubs and I are still speaking on Sunday night.)
Seattle @ San Francisco

Indianapolis @ Tennessee
Total score: 56
