With the upcoming release of my debut YA mystery novel, Football Sweetheart, I thought it would be fun to use today’s Tele-Tuesday post to showcase a few of the cutest football players on past and present television series.
I guess my love for football players dates back to the late ‘80s-early ‘90s when 1st & Ten aired on HBO. I fell head-over-heals for the California Bulls’ quarterback, Tom Yinessa.
And who didn’t love our favorite Bayside Tiger, A.C. Slater from Saved by the Bell?
But now, let’s look at TV’s hottest football players today. Sadly, there aren’t many. But courtesy of Friday Night Lights, The Vampire Diaries, and Necessary Roughness, we do have a few…
The Dillon, Texas Panthers
Friday Night Lights
The Mystic Falls Timberwolves
The Vampire Diaries
The New York Hawks
Necessary Roughness
So, what do you think? Vote for your favorite now!
Did we miss your favorite football player on TV today? How about from the past? I’d love to hear from you!
Come back Friday when we list a few of our favorite football players from the movies…
Between you and Roni, I’m having a hot flash from all this male yumminess!! LOL!!
I’ll take one of each please…LOL!!
Comparing my male yumminess to Roni’s male yumminess is a huge compliment – thank you, Natalie!!
I’d have to go for Matt from TVD and Tim from FNL. Had big crush on Matt from Friday Night Lights too.
Emma, you are a girl after my own heart… those were my top two picks too. But I voted for Tim. 🙂
I’ve voted for Tim from FNL, even though I a) have only watched half of Season 1 and b) actually prefer Coach Taylor to all of them!
There is nothing wrong with preferring the coach, Janey! 🙂
Thanks for stopping by!
Enjoyed the football players, Tiff
Love you, Pooh
Love you! 🙂
Stephan! I don’t watch these shows, but I might now for the eye candy.
I’ll tell ya, Tameri… Teen TV definitely knows how to cast ’em today… 🙂
You just had to go and put the Vampire Diaries in there, didn’t you? I picked Stefan. He is cute in his uniform. I don’t miss Elena as a cheerleader though.
You know I did, Jess! LOL
Those Vampire Diaries boys are much too young for me. There are some nice lookin’ men in Necessary Roughness. However, I harken back to the days of the Eight is Enough cast playing familiy football on the lawn or that guy who Marcia Brady totally crushed on in the episode where a football broke her nose. Do those count? LOL.
So excited about your upcoming release, Tiffany!
Eight is Enough AND the Brady Bunch… I used to watch both of these shows with my grandmother, Julie! Marcia’s nose. LOL.
Thanks for stopping by!!
Thanks for the eye candy, Tiffany. I agree that Mario Lopez is even better looking today. I would have voted for him if he was one of the choices! Fun post!
Thanks, Lynn! I should have added AC Slater to the vote. 🙂
I haven’t seen any of these shows, so I voted entirely on looks 🙂 I love how you tied today’s post into your novel.
There is nothing wrong with voting on looks… I did! 🙂
Thanks, Marcy!
