Friday Eye Candy: The Pigskin Edition

So, I don't know how many of you are rabid football fans (go Bears!) but in my house, all fall and the beginnings of winter are dedicated to pigskin (with a special focus on Husker football). In honor of the upcoming NFL Playoffs, Conference Championships and the Super Bowl, I bring you the hotties of the professional football world.

(side note - I'd have included college boys as well, but that sort of makes me feel pervy, as most of them are my younger brother's age.)

Ladainian Tomlinson - This guy could be Friday Eye Candy all by himself. Not only is he the most valuable player in the NFL hands-down, his off-the-field lifestyle is amazing. He gives more to charity (both in time and money) than any other football player and while he treats himself to a few toys, he seems humble and grounded. If only all football players had this mentality. Hell, if only everyone had this mentality!

Tom Brady - While I'm not always a fan of this Patriot's love life, there's no denying his team's record ... or his hotness. And now as the face of Stetson cologne, we get to see him all over tv and in magazines. Nice.

Terrell Owens - I have a friend who calls T.O. her husband. He's got one of the biggest and most infectious smiles I've ever seen, only to be matched by his ego. Lately, however, he seems to have grown into his skill set and is humbling himself and becoming a star both on and off the field. And who can debate abs like that?

Matt Leinert - A relative newcomer to the NFL, Matt brings with him some California good looks and a baby-momma. But who can fault him (or her) for livin' it up in youth. I still wouldn't kick him out of bed.

Steven Jackson - Hot Hot Hot. I don't even know that much about him, and then I saw this picture. Really? Could one person be any hotter?

Reggie Bush - While I know some of you don't like him because the jury's still out on his taking money during his college career, you can't much argue with his boyish charm, skills on the field, and love for the family that took him in. A true rags-to-riches story, he'll always be one of my favorites.
