Bits & Bobs: Serious Droolage To Vote On, The Bieb Strikes Again, Oh No He Didn’t And More

Did that get your attention? I thought that it might!  Our brother in sports love and droolage over at The Sports Fag is kicking off his 2011 Hottest Male Athlete Tournament.

Here’s the overall bracket.  All the footy players are in the Round Balls Divsion. There are some insanely hot photos for your enjoyment (if you like hot men in underwear, this site is for you)! Footy boys represented: Victor Valdes, Cristiano Ronaldo, Aitor Ocio, Carlos Bocanegra, Marco Borriello, Becks, Yoann, Freddie Ljungberg, Benny Feilhaber and Cesc. (Um, have they ever seen Sergio Ramos?!)  Boca and Borri are against each other as are Beck vs. Yoann and Freddie vs. Benny! How the hell are we supposed to choose? Get over there and vote. Poor Cescy is getting his arse whupped by a basketball player. Help the boy out! (Update: you MUST check out the rest of the brackets. The rugby players gave me serious heart palpitations!) Voting ends Sunday, April 11th.

This macro made my freaking day. The look on Bojan’s face is priceless and The Bieb in the Barca baby puke green away kit is wonderful. Keep it up, Biebs! I’m finding this endlessly entertaining.

Harry Redknapp, who I have much respect for completely pissed me off today. He’s blaming us for Crouchie’s bad behavior on Tuesday. Crouch made the choice to pull 2 ridiculous tackles and get himself sent off. It has nothing to do with us. Shame on you, Harry!

This clip? Absolutely stunning and mindboggling. The dude should be sent off for such bullshit. That’s disrespecting the game, bro. I’d love to know what the call was about though. If it was some massive emergency like his wife having a baby, I could kind of understand, but from the way he calmly trots back onto the field, I’m guessing it wasn’t that big a deal.

And finally, Sid Lowe on all the reasons that Spain should not play in the Copa America this summer. I couldn’t agree with him more. Our players are exhausted as things stand now.  2 weeks off is not going to be enough and I can only see more injuries as a result. This is a lovely honor, but one that they really need to pass up.
