While television series that involve sports may lack the intensity and the obnoxious cliches that flood sports talk shows and news programs, they present viewers with unique drama and fictional dreams that are inspired by real-life occurrences.
Many of these shows have been called mundane and can often be hyperbolic with an invidious tone that deters viewers.
The women on these shows, however, keep fans coming back, even if they detest the program itself.
From shows featuring the awkward high school phase mixed with the excitement of the school's football team to reality programs about NBA and footballer wives, these series offer plenty to satisfy a wide array of fans.
The sex appeal is what really gets the blood flowing.
Here are the 50 hottest women on sports television shows.
Enjoy.
50. Zoe Lucker; Tanya Turner (Footballers' Wives)
This English actress has the Mona Lisa smile to compliment her beauty.
Known best for her role as Tanya Turner on ITV's Footballers' Wives, Lucker can now be seen as Vanessa Gold in EastEnders.
She plays nice, but offers plenty of curiosity.
49. Jennifer Williams; Eric Williams Wife (Basketball Wives)
She garnered plenty of attention on Basketball Wives, but gets some awkward looks for being with former NBA point guard Eric Williams.
It's safe to assume that Jennifer gave her husband this look every time he stepped off the court.
He definitely succeeded in his love life on the other hand.
48. Lala Vazquez; Carmelo Anthony's Wife (Basketball Wives)
Married to Knicks star Carmelo Anthony, Vazquez developed her own career way before her celebrity husband.
Appearing on Basketball Wives, Vazquez never seems to have a problem expressing herself.
That includes when she's posing.
47. Laila Rouass; Amber Gates (Footballers' Wives)
Known for her role as Amber Gates on Footballers' Wives, which features the players of Premier League Association football club Earls Park F.C. and their wives.
With every female slideshow, the fact that footballers' lives are amazing is furiously reiterated.
More proof here.
46. Gina Carano; Crush (American Gladiators)
While she was Crush on American Gladiators, "the face of women's MMA" has plenty else to boast about.
Being featured on the Oxygen reality show Fight Girls, Carano continues to be an inspiration to many women and young girls who look up to her.
We're looking at her in awe.
45. Brittany Daniel; Kelly Pitts (The Game)
Many viewers may know this beauty as Megan Vandergeld in White Chicks, however she has plenty more on her resume.
Daniel's portrayal of Kelly Pitts on The Game gets her on this list with flying colors.
A show that features a women who pauses her career to be there for the rising success of her star athlete boyfriend, contrary to the advice of her parents, The Game had a record 7.7 million viewers.
It's safe to say Daniel was the main reason why.
44. Nicola Tappenden; WAGs Boutique
Featured on WAGs Boutique because of her relationship with Fulham striker Bobby Zamora, Tappenden has plenty to offer.
The show has two teams of WAGs run fashion boutiques for three months in a vigorous competition.
Sounds classy.
43. Royce Reed; Dwight Howard's Ex (Basketball Wives)
She is known to most as the baby mama of NBA man-child Dwight Howard and a member of Basketball Wives, but others see her as the guilty party in the dispute with the 7'0" center.
Not only does he claim that Reed owes him money, but Howard has restraining orders on her that often inhibit her free speech.
We can still appreciate her from afar.
42. Meghan Heffern; Kate the Cheerleader (Blue Mountain State)
If the name of her role doesn't clear it up, Heffern's part in Blue Mountain State is the typical girl in a football show.
With these players juggling football, class and girls, there lives are portrayed as stressful, yet fulfilling.
Seems to be all fulfilling.
41. Stephanie Lagrossa; Contestant on Survivor
While she was a contestant on Survivor: Palau, Survivor: Guatemala and Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains, Lagrossa has plenty else to brighten her resume.
She was an in-arena host for the Philadelphia Flyers, works for the WRDW-FM radio station and part-owns GIGI Restaurant and Lounge in Old City Philadelphia.
A true entrepreneur.
40. Kristi Leskinen; Participant on the Superstars
The Superstars directors had the right idea picking this star athlete for their show.
The first woman ever to perform a 720-rodeo as a freestyle skier, she has as much talent modeling as she on the slopes.
We'd love to see her combine the two.
39. Brooke Langton; Jackie Miller (Friday Night Lights)
While she may be known more for her role on Melrose Place, Langton was also a mainstay on the series Friday Night Lights.
She may also look familiar from her role as the old-fashioned cheerleader who gets swept off her feet by Keanu Reeves.
The usual stuff.
38. Stacey Oristano; Mindy Collette (Friday Night Lights)
She studied in England and toured with Cabaret, so not much fazes this actress.
Portraying Mindy Collette on Friday Night Lights, Oristano did more than just act.
She lit up an audience, like she is right now.
37. Aimee Teegarden; Julie Taylor (Friday Night Lights)
The directors of Friday Night Lights clearly know how to efficiently recruit.
With an ever-increasing sex appeal and a loyal audience, there's no telling what can be accomplished.
With beauties like these, the sky is the limit.
36. Alicia Witt; Cheryl (Friday Night Lights)
A consistent character on Friday Night Lights from 2009-2010 as Cheryl, Witt naturally stole the screen.
She's also known as the illustrious assistant in Two Weeks Notice, who tries to seduce Hugh Grant.
While every show needs a sexy redhead, her appearance wasn't what drove her to theft of attention.
She was mad because her co-stars repeatedly called her a ginger.
Tough times.
35. Adrianne Palicki; Tyra Collette (Friday Night Lights)
This list is essentially a coming out party for the Friday Night Lights cast.
Known as Tyra Collette on the show, Palicki has a calm appeal to her that can't be matched.
Time to start recording episodes of this show immediately.
Although we might as well watch Not Another Teen Movie.
34. Daniella Deutscher; Julie Connor (Hang Time)
The only actress aside from Megan Parlen to stick with the show Hang Time for the full six seasons, Deutscher played Julie Connor and looked great doing it.
The show revolves around an Indiana high school basketball team that has one girl on their team.
It's undoubtedly about the routine drama that occurs on a daily basis in high school, with plenty of sexy women as a sweet garnish.
33. Jenn Grijalva; Participant on the Challenge
Known for her participation in The Challenge, this girl knows how to keep the camera on her.
It's unacceptable that we missed any viewing of this vicious show.
Would've been great to see her compete.
32. Shenae Grimes; Cheerleader (Degrassi: The Next Generation)
Being a cheerleader on this show allowed Grimes the opportunity to join this list.
We gladly welcome her with open arms, as long as she continues to dress like this.
Well done.
31. Toni Braxton; Contestant on Dancing with the Stars
This R & B singer not only has six Grammy Awards, seven American Music Awards and five Billboard Music Awards, while selling over 60 million records worldwide, but she was on the seventh season of Dancing with the Stars.
Clearly a successful musician, Braxton got to show off her rhythm during her appearance.
Without a care in the world.
30. Heidi Strobel; Participant on Survivor
Known as Cole Hamels' WAG, Strobel is remembered for her participation in Survivor (the Amazon season).
After she and a fellow participant stripped down for orios and peanut butter, the two appeared in Playboy.
Hugh Hefner always gets the best of them.
29. Paulina Porizkova; Contestant on Dancing with the Stars
While she was a contestant on Dancing with the Stars in 2007, Porizkova may be known more for getting fired by Tyra Banks.
Part of the panel of judges on America's Next Top Model, Porizkova was eventually let go.
While there was dispute over her release, the bosses claim it was a result of tough economic times.
At least we know it wasn't for her lack of sex appeal.
That much is certain.
28. Whitney McCauley; Sheila Williams (Friday Night Lights)
She may have been Sheila Williams, the burly and tough sister who is responsible for her siblings, on the show Friday Night Lights, but McCauley was involved in sports long before her acting career began.
Given a full scholarship to play basketball at Rice University, where she got her B.A. as well, Whitney had the athletic part accomplished.
She also seems to have the modeling conquered.
27. Johanna Botta; Participant on the Challenge
Competitors from "The Real World" and "Road Rules" went to battle in The Challenge.
But it was the appearance of Botta from 2006-2009 that really got the show a surplus of viewers.
Wasn't too much of a challenge for them.
26. Katie Aselton; Jenny MacArthur (The League)
A girl who likes fantasy sports is a real keeper.
MacArthur always helped her husband Kevin manage his team in The League and even wanted her own team.
What more can a man possibly ask for?
25. Thea Andrews; Samantha Lovett (Playmakers)
Andrews has not only been the face of sports fiction series, but also earned a role on Cold Pizza.
She was seen in the ESPN production Playmakers, playing the role of a television sports news reporter, Samantha Lovett.
Women surrounding sports continue to exponentially increase in sexiness.
We've learned that if your last name is Andrews, you will most likely be seen as a sex icon.
24. Katy Mixon; April Buchanon (Eastbound & Down)
Kenny Powers may have failed in his initial attempt at a major league career in Eastbound & Down, but he hit a monster homerun with this one.
While April Buchanon may have married and "moved on" early on in the show, Powers always had his eye on her.
We are having trouble keeping our eyes on her as well.
23. Joanna Krupa; Competitor on the Superstars
Appearing on The Superstars, this Polish actress is a lightning rod.
This model is known more for her appearances in Maxim, FHM and every other major magazine, as well as stroking the cover of Sports Illustrated twice.
It's understandable to lose your focus.
22. Kelly Monaco; Contestant on Dancing with the Stars
The first winner of Dancing With the Stars, naturally occurring in season 1, Monaco has also been on General Hospital since 2003.
She's also been in Playboy and was Playmate of the Month in April of 1997.
Easy to see why.
21. Daniella Alonso; Anna Taggaro (One Tree Hill)
After appearing as Anna Taggaro on One Tree Hill, Alonso gave us the chance to include her on this list.
Having been in Wrong Turn 2: Dead End and The Hills Have Eyes 2, she showed us why she's the ideal horror movie star.
Her beauty is prime for the role of girl in distress.
Typical.
20. Holly Madison; Contestant on Dancing with the Stars
She may be famous for being Hugh Hefner's girlfriend on The Girls Next Door, but Madison makes a stellar dancer.
The musician Jewel was actually slated to perform but broke her two tibias before the show and was replaced by this spark plug.
We're willing to give her a shot.
19. Ali Landry; Competitor on the Superstars
Indeed, that is the Doritos Girl from the 1998 Super Bowl commercial.
While she was a participant on The Superstars, she may be known best for her role as Rita Lefleur on the UPN citcom Eve.
She also looks great in sky blue, or any other color for that matter.
18. Ashley Massaro; Competitor on Survivor: China
The WWE world knows about the 2002 Miss Hawaiian Tropic USA and Miss Hawaiian Tropic Canada, as well as her appearances in Playboy, but her role on Survivor: China establishes her place in sports television.
Winning the Raw Diva Search was the start of a successful wrestling career for this beauty.
Her figure and rebellious attitude may have played a role.
17. Brooke Burke; Contestant on Dancing with the Stars
After winning the seventh season of Dancing with the Stars, Burke began co-hosting the event in 2010.
While she has obvious athletic ability, she lulls her opponent to sleep and attacks unexpectedly.
That's the secret to Burke's game.
16. Minka Kelly; Lyla Garrity (Friday Night Lights)
Chrisian Lopez should've held the ball as ransom.
Now referred to as Derek Jeter's WAG, Kelly had her share of exposure before the star shortstop became her beau.
A star of the show Friday Night Lights, she knows how to open up eyes.
It is a more subtle fact that she is the daughter of Aerosmith guitarist Rick Dufay.
15. Jana Kramer; Alex (One Tree Hill)
After signing on with the CW's One Tree Hill to become a regular, Kramer had carved out a niche in sports television.
While her role as the new face of a fashion line, Kramer lacked an athletic association but still lit up the screen.
She still is.
14. Ana De La Reguera; Vida (Eastbound & Down)
Appearing as the sexy latino woman, otherwise known as Vida, in Eastbound & Down, De La Reguera can clearly make any show more exciting.
While it was a great show, she was the spicy sauce that added some kick to it.
Danny McBride was more than pleased.
13. Nadine Velazquez; Sofia (The League)
With her first role being on a McDonald's commercial as a drive-thru lady, Velazquez has come a long way.
Now co-starring on The League, this actress and model of Puerto Rican descent is opening up more eyes every moment.
She was deservedly once ranked #39 on the Maxim Hot 100 List.
12. Melissa Rycroft; Contestant on Dancing with the Stars
We all know Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders are among the best in the league in looking good, and Rycroft is more proof of that.
She became a Cowboy's girl after being selected from her appearance on the CMT reality series Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making the Team. She was also a contestant on the eighth season of Dancing with the Stars.
Call this perfection.
11. Denise Richards; Contestant on Dancing with the Stars
While she was eliminated in week 3 of Dancing with the Stars in 2009, Richards has no reason to believe her career has been dwindling since.
Not that it was ever that prosperous.
She looks better as Carmen Ibanez in Starship Troopers and White She Devil in Undercover Brother.
10. Josie Maran; Contestant on Dancing with the Stars
While she may have been voted off of Dancing with the Stars after one episode in 2007, Maran still excites fans with her prolific modeling.
This show has never seemed to lack a healthy collection of various celebrities.
As well as the sexiest women walking the planet.
9. Evelyn Lozada; Antoine Walker's Ex-Wife (Basketball Wives)
While Chad Johnson may have caught this pass, the Basketball Wives star was once with NBA player Antoine Walker.
It's hard to take these wives seriously when they rotate ballers every time the sun sets.
Walker can't possible be happy.
8. Shannon Elizabeth; Contestant on Dancing with the Stars
Elizabeth likes to spread the wealth, having been on Arliss and Hang Time, as well as the sixth season of Dancing with the Stars.
Most, however, probably know her from her appearances in comedies such as Scary Movie, American Pie and Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back.
Her role as a sex symbol in American Pie has helped form a generation of youths.
7. Sophia Bush; Brooke Davis (One Tree Hill)
While One Tree Hill might not be your typical sports show, the constant basketball drama presents us with the unique opportunity to include this sexy star on this list.
She may be known most for her roles in John Tucker Must Die and The Hitcher, Bush surely has plenty of fans from her role as Brooke Davis, as this show is beloved by most females and probably a few males out there.
Hard not to love her.
6. Stacy Keibler; Contestant on Dancing with the Stars
After placing third in the second season of Dancing With The Stars, Keibler proved to people that she was more than just a beautiful wrestler, but one with finesse as well.
Realistically, most people prefer her to be the vicious animal she once was.
She must've lost it when she dated woeful actor Geoff Stultz.
5. Leann Tweeden; Hostess of Poker After Dark
Named as one of the "Top Hooters Girls of All Time" at Hooters' 25th anniversary in 2008, Tweeden certainly has plenty to tweet about.
In that same year, she became the third hostess of Poker After Dark and helped gain even more fans for the show.
There's not much to say other than wow.
4. Willa Ford/Amanda Modano/Mandy Modano; Contestant on Dancing with the Stars
While the vast collection of names associated with her may be exhausting, her beauty certainly isn't.
She has hosted reality shows, posed in Playboy and even was a celebrity dancer on Dancing with the Stars in 2006.
She's also married to hockey player Mike Modano.
Sorry men.
3. Kim Smith; Lauren Davis (Friday Night Lights)
Smith's role in the show Friday Night Lights isn't what is remarkable about her story.
The American model and actress went to Permian High School, which was the school featured in the football movie Friday Night Lights, the movie with the same name.
Why she wasn't included in the movie is baffling.
2. Danneel Harris; Rachel Gatina (One Tree Hill)
Having had the role of Rachel Gatina on One Tree Hill, Harris naturally became close with her co-stars.
This was proved when, in 2006, she appeared with co-stars Sophia Bush and Hilarie Burton in Maxim.
She is also known as the sexy girl from Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay.
1. Aida Yespica; Contestant on Celebrity Survivor
After winning the Miss Venezuela Contest, Yespica gained an appearance on the Venezuelan version of Celebrity Survivor.
She may be known world-wide for dating Italian soccer player Matteo Ferrari, but she has only just begun.
Her competitions must be breathtaking.
