It's DC United players getting their kits off for ESPN Mag's The Body Issue. Cheese Boy has the story here.

Just for eyebleach, also from that issue, MMA fighter Gina Carano:

Once again, I live in state where no switching of the clocks is required, so - voila! - we woke up this morning in Mountain Time. This means that the Big Ten Network match from Friday night - which I called with Kyndra de St. Aubin - airs today at 10am Mountain, Noon Eastern.

October means Oktoberfest, and FC Bayern Munich's Daniel van Buyten and his girlfriend or wife (depending on who you believe), Celine, were all over it this past Sunday. Really, does it matter if she's his wife or his girlfriend? It's a celebration either way.

Here is a better photo of her.

I just thought the sun coming through the beams at Sky Harbor this morning looked cool. Don't think this photo does it justice, but, whatever.

So, I just flew in from Indianapolis, and boy are my arms tired. Got to see some old friends and called Michigan State's 1-0, double-overtime victory over Indiana on the Big Ten Network Sunday afternoon.
