The Ultimate Sports Hotties List

Image via emraf.com

Define Ultimate.

Ultimate is the maximum, total, final, complete and highest peak of the highest of highs. If you can reach the Ultimate, you have risen to a level above all others. It is the best of the best and paves the road for any other list that tries to follow in its wake.

Michael Jordan has reached it, as have Michael Phelps, Jim Thorpe, Muhammad Ali, Pele, Babe Ruth, Bobby Orr, Wayne Gretzky and Martina Navratilova. They have hit that level where every man woman and child hopes to reach someday—the Ultimate top.

So let's apply the same Ultimate into the world of sports hotties and create a list. Who are they? Where do they rank? How many times have I said Ultimate already? Ultimately, too many.

I have broken them down into categories for those of you playing at home or on the road. The four categories are Sports Reporters, Athletes, WAGs, and Super Fans. Enjoy.

Sports Reporters

If you have ever been to Bristol, you already understand the vast talent of beautiful female sports reporters that roam the countryside that crazed lost Justin Bieber fans. They are everywhere and I have spotted the 25 hottest so you wouldn't have to.

25. Jennifer Hale

Derick E. Hingle-US PRESSWIRE

One of my local favorites from back home, Jennifer Hale hails from Nawlins. You're welcome world.

24. Hannah Storm

MILF status aside, Hannah Storm has a sex appeal that rivals Cameron Diaz in "Bad Teacher." Yep, I went there.

23. Larra Overton

Image via pinterest.com

I don't live in Kentucky so I have never heard of this gem until today. Thank you to whoever submitted her name to my brain.

22. Akra Sisters

Image via washingtonpost.com

That's right, sisters! Katherine and Kristina Akra are one of the hottest combination of siblings ever, and I don't mean just in sports.

21. Amanda Pflugrad

Image via Amandapflugrad.com

Oregon doesn't just make beautiful cheerleaders, they raise them. It is a factory of hotties and they show no signs of stopping.

20. Kenda Perez

Jason Merritt/Getty Images

Kenda Perez is the type of woman you see once, and immediately change your mind about everyone decision you've ever made.

19. Heidi Watney

G. Newman Lowrance/Getty Images

Heidi Watney is the first woman to fly around the world. No wait, I was reading the wrong notes. But since we are talking about it, how cool would that have been to fly across the globe?

18. Georgie Thompson

Image via leninimports.com

Anyone else ready to start watching Sky Sports? I think I have the channel but never realized the women looked like Georgie. Until now.

17. Anna Kraft

Image via 123people.ca

Since I failed German 101 in school, I have no idea about Anna Kraft outside of her beauty. I just can't seem to translate her webpage. Where is the auto translate when you need it?

16. Laura McKeeman

Steve Mitchell-US PRESSWIRE

Fox Sports knows how to hire a female sports reporter. Laura McKeeman is not only a sideline beauty, she is also Miss Florida 2012. Boom.

15. Melissa Stark

Image via flickr.com

Melissa Stark, welcome back to the world of sports. We missed you so much it hurts to think about it.

14. Laura Esposto

Image via twitter.com

Italian television makes TV in America look like PBS. Topless women literally just walk across the screen on a hourly basis. 

13. Charlotte Jackson

Image via topfox.tv

Before Charlotte hit the sports broadcasting world, she was singing with Tony Christie, whoever that is.

12. Charissa Thompson

Robin Marchant/Getty Images

We miss Michelle Beadle. However, Charissa Thompson is doing a fantastic job of helping us rebound.

11. Leeann Tweeden

Kevin Winter/Getty Images

Leeann Tweeden is the reason for the word, "Wowowowwweeeezzer!"

10. Ines Sainz

Michael Heiman/Getty Images

You are crazy not to include this Spanish señorita in your list of sports hotties. Crazy!

9. Erin Andrews

Jerry Lai-US PRESSWIRE

We didn't forget about you, we just forgot that you were still on TV doing your sports thing. No worries EA, we still love you.

8. Mieke Buchan

Robert Prezioso/Getty Images

If you don't know me by now then you might want to check out my work. If you do know me, you know I love Australian women. There is just something about them that drives me nuts.

7. Sara Carbonero

Claudio Villa/Getty Images

How long before someone finally convinces Sara Carbonero to pose for Maxim or FHM? How long before we go nuts waiting for it? Too late.

6. Molly Qerim

Ethan Miller/Getty Images

Ladies and Gentlemen: Molly Qerim. Any chance she would date a male sports writer for charity?

5. Marisol Gonzalez

Victor Decolongon/Getty Images

Who says beauty pageant winners can't become sports reporters? No seriously, who said that? Because they are dumber than the script for Titanic 2.

4. Kristen Ledlow

Image via bustedcoverage.com

Once again, Fox Sports has struck gold with hiring the right women to do all the dirty work. Bookmark this page and remember that Kristen Ledlow will become a big name soon.

3. Melanie Collins

Image via melanie-collins.com

I hate to say perfect because no one is but Melanie Collins is the closest to it that I have seen in a long time.

2. Samantha Steele

Kevin Jairaj-US PRESSWIRE

The more Steele I see on ESPN, the more I want it. Am I the only one here?

1. Jenn Brown

Alexandra Wyman/Getty Images

In case you weren't 100 person sure about this choice, I met her in person and she is 34 times sexier in person. This was a no-brainer.

Female Athletes

Image via tumblr.com

If the world was full of ugly robotic female athletes, they wouldn't have invented beach volleyball, field hockey or yoga.

25. Allyson Felix: Track and Field

Kirby Lee-US PRESSWIRE

I am not the only person who wanted to give Allyson Felix a hug during the Olympics, right? That isn't creepy at all. Just saying.

24. Anna Rawson: Golf

Michael Cohen/Getty Images

Tall, skinny, beautiful, Australian female athlete. Boom. Nuff said.

23. Ali Krieger: Soccer

Martin Rose/Getty Images

Boy did I miss Ali Krieger during the Olympics. It was like a piece of my heart was missing and I had to replace it with chocolate and french fries. Thankfully, she is back.

22. Alana Blanchard: Surfing

Image via tumblr.com

Alana Blanchard blew up quicker last year than The Beatles in the '60s. 

21. Tina Maze: Ski Racing

Michel Cottin/Agence Zoom/Getty Images

Ski racing? Is that really a thing? All I remember from skiing is falling down. If I had to race someone too, I would end up destroying a tree or two.

20. Yelena Isinbayeva: Pole Vault

Kirby Lee-US PRESSWIRE

It is sexy to watch a woman compete in pole vaulting. If you don't believe me, go invest in YouTube and do a quick search. Trust me, it's worth every second of it.

19. Julia Mancuso: Skiing

Mitchell Gunn-US PRESSWIRE

Oh no I didn't. Of course I did not forget about Julia Mancuso. She is the ultimate reason for watching the winter Olympics in 2014. Facts.

18. Danica Patrick: Racing

Kevin Liles-US PRESSWIRE

You can love her or hate her but one thing will always remain a constant, she is a sports hottie. No doubt about it.

17. Kaylyn Kyle: Soccer

Image via twitter.com

Team USA has a bunch of hotties. Team Canada has two. Kaylyn Kyle is one of them.

16. Jonelle Filigno: Soccer

Image via tumblr.com

Jonelle Filigno is the other. It is amazing what comes from Canada these days.

15. Christina Vukicevic: Track and Field

Stu Forster/Getty Images

I have a soft spot for beautiful track athletes. Christina Vukicevic pushes on that soft spot like a hammer to a nail. Love it.

14. Jessica Gysin: Beach Volleyball

Image via jessgysin.wordpress.com

Whatever happened to the beautiful blonde from USC that looked better in a bikini than Megan Fox in Transformers? I would love to know.

13. Marta Menegatti: Beach Volleyball

Dino Panato/Getty Images

Beach volleyball is simply the biggest tease of any sport ever. Unless you consider yoga a sport.

12. Darya Klishina: Track and Field

Ian Walton/Getty Images

The world may never meet another woman like Darya Klishina. She is built for modeling but would rather run around a track all day. 

11. Ana Ivanovic: Tennis

Feng Li/Getty Images

Yep, Ana Ivanovic. She is just as beautiful today as the first time I saw her in 2008. Isn't life great?

10. Sydney Leroux: Soccer

Mark Konezny-US PRESSWIRE

Much like the other scorer from Team USA, you know who, Sydney Leroux brings her beautiful flavor to the pitch and makes the sport worth watching in a non-Olympic year.

9. Maria Sharapova: Tennis

US PRESSWIRE

Since when does a six foot blonde from Russia not make a list of beautiful women?

8. Michelle Jenneke: Track and Field

Matt King/Getty Images

I think I am more excited about Michelle Jenneke being a part of the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio than I am for Christmas this year.

7. Anna Semenovich: Figure Skating

Image via juggernaut101488.deviantart.com

If she was still figure skating, they would have to invent a different kind of skate. Not that I am complaining. I just promote safe skating.

6. Anastasia Ashley: Surfing

Jason Merritt/Getty Images

Just when you thought women in bikini's could not be any sexier, Anastasia Ashley rocks one while surfing a Big Momma in Hawaii.

5. Miesha Tate: MMA

Ethan Miller/Getty Images

Rated too high? You are just as crazy as my cousin. Apparently both of you hate ranking beautiful women near the top of lists that are made to inform the public about which female athletes are the hottest. 

4. Ellen Hoog: Field Hockey

Image via hockeygods.com

At what point did field hockey become my favorite sport? Probably when Ellen Hoog became an everyday favorite of mine.

3. Alex Morgan: Soccer

Victor Decolongon/Getty Images

Soccer is the only sport where any one team can feature multiple hotties in their starting lineups on a daily basis. See: Team USA.

2. Sophie Horn: Golf

Image via blog.druhbeltsandbuckles.com

Sophie Horn is exactly how I imagine female golfers will look when they finally get to play in the Olympics. Exactly.

1. Anna Kournikova: Tennis

Clive Brunskill/Getty Images

I don't drink the kool-aid, I eat it with a fork and knife. Anna Kournikova is the hottest female athlete of all time. Period. End of discussion.

WAGs

Jasper Juinen/Getty Images

If you asked me what my favorite type of sports hottie was, it would be easy as pie, WAGs. Not only are they my favorite but they are almost always the sexiest group. Two words, Adriana Lima.

25. Shakira: Gerard Pique

Angel Martinez/Getty Images

Shakira is preggo. Just ask her hips if you don't believe me.

24. Victoria Beckham: David Beckham

Kirby Lee-US PRESSWIRE

I watched the Spice Girls reunion during the 2012 Olympics and I felt like I was watching a brother and sister kiss. It was so awkward I still don't think Victoria knew where she was all night.

23. Federica Nargi: Alessandro Marti

Tullio Puglia/Getty Images

Federica Nargi is why Al Gore invented the internet. Plain and simple.

22. Larisa Fraser: Ryan Braun

Image via 123people.com

Ryan Braun won't be worrying about which World Series ring to purchase anytime soon, but at least he gets to spend his offseason with Larisa Fraser while I get to spend it with a broken typewriter. Nice.

21. Gisele: Tom Brady

Gareth Cattermole/Getty Images

I don't like Tom Brady but not because he has everything. In fact, I admire him for that. I don't like him because he dresses like a fool. 

20. Claudine Keane: Robbie Keane

Harry How/Getty Images

Claudine Keane is ranked 20th because I didn't want you thinking I was showing favoritism for my favorite WAG ever. 

19. Hayden Panettiere: Scotty McKnight

Image via fanpop.com

I can spend all night explaining who Scotty McKnight is or I could just stop talking and let you go back to looking at the beautiful Hayden. I think I will stop talking.

18. Bar Refaeli: Shaun White

Tom Shaw/Getty Images

Whoops. Not so fast Shaun White. How do I say its over without sounding like a tool from E!?

17. Gia Allemand: Ryan Anderson

Image via poptower.com

Ryan Anderson moved to New Orleans, signed a big contract, and is now dating Gia Allemand. What did he do to grow his karma to that level?

16. Aida Yespica: Mesut Ozil

Vittorio Zunino Celotto/Getty Images

Anyone else think Mesut Ozil is the luckiest man alive? If not, take one more look at his woman.

15. Jessie James: Eric Decker

Doug Pensinger/Getty Images

When the NFL thing ends for Eric Decker, he will know that he still has a lot of money coming his way. His wife is a successful country music artist. Boom.

14. Dallas Latos: Mat Latos

Image via itsalwayssunnyindetroit.com

Just because the Reds didn't make it to the World Series doesn't mean I stopped reading Dallas Latos' Twitter page. She is more entertaining than a Farrelly Brothers flick.

13. Sylvie Van Der Vaart: Rafael Van Der Vaart

Joern Pollex/Getty Images

Sylvie Van Der Vaart is a true veteran WAG having been around for many years. She is quickly becoming one of the most popular too.

12. Abigail Crouch: Peter Crouch

Image via buzzlogin.com

You know Peter Crouch must have special powers because he looks like a foot and isn't that great a person to begin with. Special magical powers is the only way I imagine he's kept her around all this time.

11. Nicole Scherzinger: Lewis Hamilton

Image via fanpop.com

Nicole Scherzinger has made me DVR more reality shows than Jersey Shore actors use tanning lotion. I will watch everything she is on, always.

10. Sabrina Maserati: Blake Griffin

Image via nba-draft.com

Have you ever seen a Maserati? They are incredibly beautiful and I imagine Sabrina also fits that description.

9. Brooklyn Decker: Andy Roddick

Elsa/Getty Images

Get used to not seeing Brooklyn Decker around the tennis court now that Andy Roddick is retired. Sad face.

8. Melissa Satta: Kevin Prince Boateng

Claudio Villa/Getty Images

If the soccer thing doesn't work out, Kevin Prince Boateng can always become a member of the royal family. Or is that just his middle name?

7. Kelly Brook: Thom Evans

Clint Hughes/Getty Images

Not sure I care who Thom Evans is because Kelly Brook is absolutely stunning without him around. 

6. Elaine Alden: Landry Fields

Jemal Countess/Getty Images

Landry Fields might not be playing in New York any more but he is still dating like he is.

5. Jaime Edmondson: Evan Longoria

Image via gossips.indivibes.net

Evan Longoria missed most of the 2012 MLB season which is the only reason why the Tampa Rays didn't make it to the World Series. The only reason.

4. Kate Upton: Justin Verlander

Chris Trotman/Getty Images

So close. That is going to be the phrase that will haunt the Detroit Tigers all year until the 2013 season begins next April. 

3. Irina Shayk: Cristiano Ronaldo

John Sciulli/Getty Images

Don't hate on Cristiano Ronaldo. It isn't his fault he was blessed with good looks and better ball skills than Paris Hilton on Spring Break.

2. Paulina Gretzky: Jarret Stoll

Image via blog.naver.com

You know her as the hottest athlete daughter ever, I know her as the sexiest female on the planet two years running.

1. Adriana Lima: Marko Jaric

Kevin Winter/Getty Images

Marko Jaric's NBA career was shorter than a Carmen Electra marriage but at least he got to marry Adriana Lima, my future wife. Sorry buddy, it's going to happen.

Super Fans

Image via instagram.com

Put down that popcorn and grab you some beer, we are just now getting going. Here are the women up in the stands making all that noise. The ones that you curse out to your buddies until you turn around and notice how blindingly beautiful she is. The Super Fans.

25. Ashley Judd

Nick Laham/Getty Images

There has never been a bigger celebrity with more passion for her team than Ashley Judd. Never.

24. Tiffany Oertel

Image via bodyspace.bodybuilding.com

It has been awhile since we heard about Tiffany Oertel but that doesn't mean she stopped cheering for Boise State.

23. Kendra

Tasos Katopodis/Getty Images

Before marriage and babies, Kendra was the biggest sports fan out of the Playboy mansion since Gary Busey. What does that even mean?

22. Ricki Noel Lander

Image via celebrity-pictures.feedio.net

Now that Ricki is dating Robert Kraft, whether she was before or not, she is a Boston fan now.

21. Heidi Klum

John Sciulli/Getty Images

You don't go to Lakers games every night and not become a big fan. That just doesn't happen. Heidi Klum is one of the biggest supermodel super fans of all.

20. Front Row Amy

Image via pic2fly.com

Just because you sit in the front row doesn't mean you earn the right to be called Front Row Amy. It is because she is so flipping fine that she earns that title.

19. Brooke Knight

Image via bustedcoverage.com

Da Bulls! DAAAAAAA BULLLLSSS! Can you ever say the Bulls and not say it like Bill Swerski?

18. Karen McDougal

@karenmcdougal98

Karen McDougal is the 1998 Playboy Playmate of the Year, and a diehard Giants fan.  I thought she looked familiar.

17. Jimena Sanchez

Image via jimenasanchez.com

Jimena Sanchez is a Raider super fan by night, female sports reporter by day. 

16. Jessica Burciaga

Image via lastnewsusa.com

Lakers, Angels, Bears, oh my. She loves them all and roots for the winning team. Duh!

15. Stephy C

Image via bustedcoverage.com

It is finally time to start talking Bears and the Super Bowl. This could be the year for Jay Jay and the sexy super fans of Chi-Town.

14. Ericka Kristen

Image via tomasinophotos.com

I have morals but when a hot woman is involved, you can go ahead and write those off for the evening. Go Cowboys!

13. Jenn Sterger

Image via thesuperficial.com

Jenn might not be the most loved super fan of all time but she is easily one of the hottest. No doubt about it folks.

12. Dorismar

Image via aibob.blogspot.com

I freaking love Argentina. Especially after I found out that is where Dorismar hails from.

11. Jaime Edmondson

@jaimeedmondson

Jaime Edmondson is such a big sports fan she started dating Evan Longoria. She is the Kendra of our time. And so hot she made the list twice.

10. Jess Snyder

Image via pulsemagazinetampa.com

Jess Snyder, say it with me guys, Jess Snyder. If you thought your woman was beautiful, check her out on the Google machine.

9. Patty Orue

Image via goallegacy.net

I almost forgot how much I love the FIFA World Cup. It is the one time every four years the rest of us are reminded that the women around the world are hotter than everyone else.

8. Amber Leigh Hartman

Image via collegefootballtopten.com

At what point did the Dallas Cowboys become America's team? Did I miss the vote?

7. Ashley Ferrara

Image via zrqa.com

Is it Sooner Boomer or Boomer Sooner? Does it really matter which one you say?

6. Larissa Riquelme

Image via colunistas.ig.com.br

I am sick and tired of hearing about Larissa Riquelme. Her huge assets and enormous cabinets tend to make me a believer, however.

5. Reby Sky

Image via tumblr.com

I left Reby Sky out of my last Super Fans list, not this time. Never again will I make that kind of mistake.

4. Maria Menounos

Matthew Emmons-US PRESSWIRE

I knew life was good when I got to watch Maria Menounos strip down to a bikini live on TV. That is why we have DVR's.

3. Alexis Augusto

Image via instagram.com

I am not a big fan of New York teams especially the Jets but Alexis Augusto is and that is fine with me.

2. Melissa Teixeira

Image via pic2fly.com

She is more than a Super Fan, she is also an athlete. 

1. Heather

Image via twitter.com

If you don't like beautiful blond Playmates, then you might not want to look at Heather's Twitter page. But since 98 percent of the rest of us do, we can all look.
