TV Boyfriends

I turn 40 today so I figured it was a good time for me to celebrate myself and show you all the guys I think are hot and would make great TV Boyfriends.  I mean, after all, you only turn 40 once, right?

So, with that, I’ll give you names and one photo of each guy…or maybe two, depends on what I find.

Of course, you know that it all starts and ends with Wentworth Miller.

And, sticking with Prison Break for a few minutes, I give you Amaury Nolasco…nom nom nom

From there, I take you to,

Cam Gigandet

What about Henry Simmons?

Shemar Moore comes in next..or maybe right after Wentworth, but either way, he is on MY Birthday List.

Michael Jordan will always be a favorite too.

My newest edition of repeat poster material, Michael Phelps.

A newbie too…Phil Dalhausser from the Olympics

And, as I mentioned before, we will start and end with Wentworth.

If you are wondering what is up with all the 2008 Olympic Volleyball players, just remember, I like tall men and volleyball happens to be one of my all time favorite sports.  He was born 1984 (born in 1984, holy cow, I graduated from high school in 1986…yikes).  It appears more and more than I just like my men young don’t you think?

He played basketball and volleyball  for Foothill High School in Pleasanton.  He played club volleyball for Diablo Valley.  He graduated from UC Santa Barbara in 2007 where he majored in sociology and minored in sports management.  He enjoys mountain biking, wakeboarding and golfing.  He says that the Golden State Warriors are his favorite professional team and even goes out on a limb and names Anna Kournikova as his favorite athlete. 

As for his college days, he was just a first team American Volleyball Coaches Association All-American.  That’s a nice place to start, eh?  He led the country in kills, service aces and points.  In 207 he was All-MPSF First Team selection and led the league in kills, aces and points in conference matches as well. 

In 2008 he played professionally for San Juan Playeros in Puerto Rico and Aris Thessalonica in Greece.  He helped the US men win the bronze medal at the World University Games in Bangkok, Thailand.  And, there you go, now how about some eye candy?

Did I mention he is 6′8″ tall?

I usually start with commentary on the TV Boyfriends, but I felt the need to show what Rich looks like before we go much further.

Now, I know it’s not all about a pretty face, but I’ll have to say, it sure doesn’t hurt anything does it.  He is 6′3″ tall and weighs close to 200 pounds.  Sounds just about right to me.  He was in a bad bicycle accident when he was 6 and skinned his shoulder to the bone and mangled the right side of his face.  He says, “I could have been much uglier but due to my loving parents and medical science, I am only mostly unattractive…”  I can’t say that I agree with that statement now. 

He does say that he is a “bandwagon” guy when it comes to professional sports.  Hey, me to, me too.  And that basketball is one of his favorites along with golf and football.  He says his favorite athlete is Michael Jordan.  Hey, me too, me too. 

He calls San Diego is home and of course as most men of leisure he enjoys golf, beach volleyball and tennis.  He says his happiest moment in sports was winning the national championship at BYU in 1999.  He was MVP at Foothills High and played volleyball briefly at BYU.  He majored in Japanese at BYU.

As for college highlights, he started as an outside hitter, because you know, 6′3” is not real tall in the world of men’s volleyball.  He played in 82 games and posted 252 kills, 205 digs, 88 blocks and a .348 hitting percentage.  In 1998 he played in 21 or 22 matches and recorded 150 kills, 133 digs and 78 blocks.  I mean, I could go on and on and….well I will because in 1997 he ranked fourth nationally with 2.73 digs per game.  He was named Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Player of the Week on March 22. 

As I watch the men’s Olympic volleyball team play for the gold medal right now and if you know yourself, those men beach volleyball players are freakin’ awesome.  But, hey, take a look at the guys playing indoors, they can be easy on the eyes too.

And, so, we go with Sean Rooney first.  First of all, you know if he is 6′9″ tall then I am all over him.  I mean, really, I love me some tall men.  Naturally it isn’t easy to find information about these athletes though because they just aren’t the caliber of popularity as a Kobe Bryant.  But, Sean Rooney is by no means a slacker.  He is from Wheaton, Ill and wen to college at Pepperdine. His birthday is November 13, 1982.

He was the 2001 Illinois State Player of the Year and led his team to a state Championship.  He was also a avid player on the basketball court and could swing a golf club pretty well too.  He competed in the 1999 Junior Olympics and with the U. S. Junior National Team in 2000 as well as with the AAU National championship teams in 2000 and 2001 and get this, he was the most valuable player in 2001.  Does that surprise you?

He graduated from Pepperdine in 2005 with a degree in Business Administration.  It was 2004 when he joined the AVP beach volleyball tour.  The highest he placed was fifth but he did that three times.  He was the tallest player on those tours too.  I told you, tall men are awesome. 

So, you wanna see him?

That’s pretty good right there eh?  Getting ready to go surfing with the President?

I may have written about Kobe before but since he is now an Olympian, I must give you the pleasure of checking him out again.  Most of you may remember that Kobe was one of very few athletes to go straight from high school into the NBA.  But, with that said, Kobe was educated outside the US and had a lot of maturity has he had traveled and gained a lot of his education by learning to respect the customs of other countries.  That alone lends itself to maturity, I don’t care what other people say.

And, yes once he was in the NBA for a short time, he learned to be immature and act like some of our other athletes off the court.  But on the court, he is undeniable.  He is 6′6″ and you surely know he plays for the Los Angeles Lakers.  To his credit, he has a 2008 NBA MVP, a 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008 NBA All-Star, 2002 NBA Champion, 2001 NBA Champion and a 2000 NBA Champion.

See he is a champion and worth repeating in the spotlight.

Have you ever tried to run in the sand?  Have you ever tried to jump in the sand?  Have you ever tried to run, jump and hit a ball at the same time in the sand?  Man, these guys are strong as strong can get.  The muscles on these guys….I’m talking about the Beach Volleyball players in the Olympics right now.  Specifically Todd Rogers….and Phil Dalhausser.

Rogers and Dalhausser are the defending world champions but were beat on the first day of the Olympics.  It was a shock to say the least.  They were beat by the 23rd ranked team…23 out of 24 that is.  They try to rebound today when they face a Switz pair.

Phil Dalhausser is 6 foot 9.  That alone should tell you why he got my attention.  I love me some big men.  He weighs in the neighborhood of 280 pounds.  I love me some big men.  Now, put that big ol’ body on the beach, yummmy!  Add some muscle along with some running and jumping and you have one of the hottest beach volleyball players in the Olympics this year.

His teammate, Todd Rogers, was featured yesterday and the two actually had a bad outing in their first match of the Olympics this year……but….they can get it together…no doubt about it.  Rogers says his legs were dead from marching in the opening ceremony.  I can’t say that this would be a real excuse except..have you ever tried to run on the sand?  Jump on the sand?   Yummy!

He looks really funny on the beach right now with his sunglasses on with no lenses in them.  Actually, he said he was having problems with his glasses.  The lenses were fogging up and he apparently needs the familiarity of the frames so he just took the lenses out of his glasses.

Oh well, when you look like Phil Dalhausser….you can do about anything you want…And, you know I love me some bald headed men too, don’t you?  Just look, long, lean, abs of steel and a bald head, nothing better anywhere.

If not, you need to get yourself acquainted because these guys are kicking butt over there and taking names.  Phelps, Lezak and one of their other teammates, Cullen Jones have been all over the pool. 

Cullen Jones was born in the Bronx but then moving to Irvington New Jersey where he attended a prep school.  He trains with David Marsh at the Center of Excellence at Mecklenburg Aquatic Club in Charlotte, North Carolina.

He is the first African American to hold or share a world record in swimming.  He is only the second African American to make the US Olympic team as well.  At the 2008 Olympic swimming trials, he broke the American record in the 50 meter freestyle.

He has, as I mentioned above, taken gold in Beijing by swimming with Phelps, Lezak and Garret Weber-Gale in the 4 by 100 meter freestyle relay.  His honey on the side (since it obviously can’t be me) is Maritza Correia who won a 400 meter free relay at the 2004 Olympics in Athens.

Jason Lezak swam an amazing anchor leg where he came from behind and outtouched a  French simmer at the wall to keep Phelp’s bid to break Mark Spitz’s record of seven gold medals.  And, so…..who is this Jason Lezak.

Well, he was born in 1975 in Irvine California.  He was part of the 4 by 100 meter medley relay in 2003 and he competed in several events in the 2004 Olympic Games.  He was a member of the 4 by 100  meter medley relay team that set a world record and he also won a bronze medal in the 4 by 100 meter freestyle relay. 

This year, 2008, the Summer Olympics in Beijing has Lezak anchoring the 4 by 100 meter freestyle relay team and as you know…they took gold last night.  That earned him the fastest 100 meter freestyle split in history by nearly six tenths of a second.

The Olympics bring athletes..lots and lots of hot hot athletes.  And, I’ve made it no secret that I love me a hot body on a hot athlete.  Obviously the things we know about almost any athlete in the Olympics makes them a great TV Boyfriend.  Wouldn’t you love to be sitting in the stands as Michael Phelps put’s that medal around his neck and the National Anthem blasts through the speakers?  Honestly, how could that ever feel bad.  The pride, the swelling in your throat and then knowing, that hottie is going home with me!  That’s what’s for reals ya’ll!

So, just in case you have missed it, Michael has been the most talked about athlete so far.  He was born in 1985 and he holds world records in several events.  He swam in Athens in 2004 where he received 6 gold medals not to mention a total of 8.

You should be looking for him in the following events…..some of which he has already won Gold and broke World Records in.  First the 400 meter individual medley, Gold and World Record, then the 4 by 100 meter freestyle relay.  Again, Gold and a World Record.

From there he swims the 20 meter freestyle, the 4 by 200 meter freestyle relay, the 200 meter butterfly, the 200 meter individual medley, the 100 meter butterfly and the 4 by 100 meter medley relay.

Come on, just look at this long lean body….

but, what’s a long lean body if he isn’t a looker in the face?  Just take a gander at this:
