There… you uppity women (this includes you, Eric) shouldn’t get any ideas… remember who gets the last word around here.
…and… to steal a phrase from Amy… I was “aesthetically pleased” by this picture.

my first reaction was, “why does she have ‘Bra’ written on her bra?”
yay for the USA women’s soccer team today, btw.

I konw! It’s a sham Mia Hamm left her shirt on this time. She’s so hot.

GOD I LOVE THE OLYMPICS.

Mia Hamm always leaves her shirt on.

it was Brandy Chastain who whipped it off in the famous black sports bra incident.

Was it really?
Well, I’m still going to remember it the other way. Mia Hamm is way hotter.

Hilary, are you serious with that question? I believe it stands for Brasil. [Ummm... I think she figured it out. --ph]

oh man, that is AWESOME

Umm, guys, if you don’t stop drooling you’re gonna ruin your keyboards …

yes, CK, i realized .1 seconds later that it stood for Brasil.
Ponderance: why do so many women athletes seem to be lacking any sort of hourglass figure? no hips to speak of, a rock solid waist, generally flat chests…
but hey! they have lots of muscles, show lots of skin, and have something like 3% body fat.
sexay.

These beach volleyball pictures lead me to one conclusion: They need to have coed beach volleyball.

no way.. if you saw this picture with a guy hugging a girl like that, or a guy laying on top of a girl in the sand you would definitely not find it as hot.

Hmmm… it’s often the body fat of a woman that allows for her curves.
And honestly the attractiveness of a woman has a lot more to do with the .7 WHR (waist to hip ratio) than it does to do with the hourglass figure directly, or with the size of her breasts.
Now, that I’ve been teaching you something you probably already knew (but perhaps not in coached in particularly those terms), I think I’ll go along on my own merry way… (the things one learns when one decides to write a paper for class on *pauses dramatically* Breast Size)

I want coed beach volleyball so Kerri Walsh or Sandra Pires could be my teammate. Being on the ground with one of them is much, much better than seeing those pictures
