What exactly is it about Michael Jordon, Jason Seahorn or Derek Jeter that drives women crazy? What is it that turns grown men into 17-year-old boys when watching Anna Kournikova or the Divas of the WWF? Is it the confidence and ambition an athlete portrays? Or simply the subtle...or not so suble... sexual appeal. What is about an athlete that makes us all weak in the knees?

This question is right on time because I had a dream about Allen Iverson last night!

I don't think it's just athletes that have this effect. It's just that if they were normal 9-5 people, we might never have seen them and would never know how hot they are. For example, there is a very hot guy in my office that many women would be fawning over if he were on television every week.

Personally, huge muscles do it for me. While most athletes have muscles, the fact that they are unattainable takes the appeal away (for me). Rather than turn on the TV and ogle someone I can't have, I prefer to take a trip to the local gym and smile away.

To date, my smiling has been unproductive, but I am hoping that will change very soon!

In the Bullpen:
Is it time for steroid use to finally be addressed?

Sports were so much easier when the only performance-enhancer we had to worry about were Vitamins.

Almost every day brings another steroid report. First, Jose Canseco said that 85 percent of major leaguers use steroids. Then Ken Caminiti told Sports Illustrated that he used steroids during his 1996 MVP season. Chad Curtis told SI that 40 to 50 percent of major leaguers use them as well.

The question is whether anyone really cares enough to do anything. Fans say they hate steroid use, but they also really enjoy watching home runs sail into the upper deck. After all, Mark McGwire used the performance-enhancer androstenedione four years ago when he broke Roger Maris' single-season home run record. Do the players care? Do the owners care? If a substance is illegal in the United States, should it be illegal in the major leagues?
