Hot Olympian of the Day: Jesse Williams

26 Jun

To continue our Olympic hottie series today we are looking at high jumper Jesse William(not to be confused with actor hottie Jesse Williams). Williams just barely made it into the London Olympics. During the Olympic trials on Monday Williams came in 4th place and almost didn’t make it. That was until third-place finisher Nick Ross failed to make 7 feet, 7 inches jump this season so Williams will take his spot. For someone like me who can barely jump up to grab the cookies I’ve hidden on the top shelf all of this is all very impressive.

Reasons to love Williams:

1. He is Southern gentleman. Originally from my hometown Raleigh, NC. He now lives in Oregon where he trains.

2. He is a World Champion. He was ranked number 1 high jumper in the world in 2011. So yes this white man can jump.

3. Williams is a handyman and when he is not training he paints his own house. I love a man who is good with his hands.

4. He is good-old Christian boy. He credits gives credit for most of his success to God. Maybe someone should introduce him to Lolo Jones something tells me they would be a good match.

5. He’s not afraid to cry when he hears the US National Anthem at the Olympics.

The 29-Year-Old Virgin

23 May

Ladies and gentleman, we have a treat for you tonight. Seldom spotted in the wild, we have come across a rare breed. The virgin professional athlete. *Cue Wild Kingdom theme music*

Tebow is not the only one saving himself for marriage. Hurdling star Lolo Jones said she is remaining a virgin for her future husband during an interview on Real Sports. Jones, 29, said staying a virgin has been harder than graduating college and training for the Olympics.

She originally revealed this fun fact on Twitter, which is universally recognized as the best place to search for a hook-up husband.

While nobody ever thought Britney was a virgin back in the day, it is somehow more believable to me that an athlete like Jones is. After all, a successful athlete’s top priority should be their game. Maybe Jones just isn’t a good multi-tasker.

I have to wonder, is Lolo drawing attention to herself for publicity, or because 30 is right around the corner and all the pent-up sexual energy is constantly on her mind?
