PODCAST: SI.com's Jimmy Traina, Richard Deitsch and our sports man crushes…

With the announcement of Derek Jeter as the 2009 Sports Illustrated “Sportsman of the Year“, we delve into the phenomenon of athletic man crushes.  There are many genres of man crushes in sports; man crushes on coaches, man crushes on athletes and man crushes that we *now* regret.  In Episode 39 of the JoeSportsFan Show, we review some of the notable sports personalities in each category.

Truth be told, this episode’s big highlight is the intersection of Sports Illustrated co-workers, Jimmy Traina and Richard Deitsch, on our digital airwaves.

For those living under cyber rocks (+2 sports blogging elitist points), Traina is the grand poohbah of SI.com’s “Hot Clicks“…and Deitsch is the cyber czar behind SI.com’s always-entertaining “Media Circus” column.

The fellas brought the heat in one of the most entertaining JoeSportsFan Show episode to date.

Among the questions asked of our fearless competitors…

1.) What is your favorite mention/reference to a professional sports team and/or player in a non-sports movie?

2.) With the controversy surrounding Tiger Woods’ “accident” last week and the subsequent speculation that it may have been related to some marital indiscretions, name one professional athlete that, upon hearing they had been caught cheating on their wife, would leave you genuinely shocked?

3.) You win a bet with a friend in which the payoff is forcing him to wear the single most embarrassing real-life jersey that you can think of to the game of your choice – what jersey and what game are you going with?

4.) Name one athlete (past or present) – that you can openly admit to having an unhealthy man-crush on?

5.) JoeSportsFan casting call: cast one current athlete as a character in your favorite Christmas movie.  Go.
