FROS (For Refreshment Only Sunday) goes BOWLING!

Not THAT kind of bowling. I’m talking SuperBowling.

In honor of this great day, I thought I’d give all of you non-football fans a reason to watch the game.

There’s THIS reason:

That’s my man, Aaron Rodgers, quarterback of the Green Bay Packers.

In case you didn’t see him, here he is again:

Is that a smile or WHAT?

***le sigh***

Also on the Green Bay’s marvy team is famed Clay Matthews, the man who runs things when Aaron’s taking a break after yet another fantabulous touchdown pass.

Dig those biceps! I just want to run and jump into his arms. Or just ask him to tackle me. Either one.

How did he get those fabu biceps? By doing things like this, over and over and over —

I guess I should be fair here and share some Steelers glory, too. After all, there are hunks on both sides of the 50 yard line.

I found a delicious FROS candidate in Steelers lineman Patrick Bailey. Here he is in action, tackling another player. Just dig his mighty thighs as he crushes his opponent:

And here he is in a plane, because he’s not only talented on the field, but also off:

Nice, hm? The Steelers are mighty men as well. It should be a delicious, Frosian game!

So there you have it, ladies of Superbowl XXXXIIIIVVVIWWW, some delightful reasons to get excited about the game, no matter which player you want to root for!

    I think its hilarious that you chose Clay Matthews. Way back in the day, when his dad played for Cleveland, I lived in the same town his family lived in. My mom taught preschool at the time and had a couple of the elder Clay’s kids in her class. She said that the elder was as dumb as a box of rocks. LOL! I don’t think she had little Clay but I know she had his sister. Too weird and makes me feel old since my mom taught preschool when I was in late elementary going into jr. high back then!

    Its hard to know how good looking some of those guys are underneath all of that padding and those helmets. Hopefully, they have more brains under there too cause cute idiots just don’t do it for me.

    Enjoy the game tonight!!!

  2. Jamie Beck says:

    Nice to choose a Steeler, too, since after yesterday’s post when most of the gals said they were rooting for them.

    Gotta say both are very nice to look at. I am watching the Superbowl for the commercials and to see the conditions at the stadium. Wet, cold and plain old yucky is being forecast, lucky for them they have a roof, which going by some pics on the tv, has some snow and ice on it. Hmm. . . . ?

  3. JenG says:

    Ok I was wrong, my mom didn’t teach his sister as he doesn’t have one LOL! Must have been his brothers she taught.

  4. JenG says:

    Jamie, My friends, who live in the Waco/Huntsville areas have said that the weather has been horrific down there the last week or so. They got more snow yesterday. That big storm that blew across the country hit down there too. My friend even had her water lines (which they do not bury underground in TX I have learned) frozen and subsequently broken! Should be interesting to see what the area around the stadium looks like. Good thing for the spectators that there is a roof so they won’t freeze!

  5. Judy F says:

    Nice Pictures. Go Packers.

  6. LoriHandeland says:

    You’ve got my two faves. Aaron’s eyes, Clay’s guns. Go Pack.

  7. Karen Hawkins says:

    I <3 football.

    As for the players, I love them all. I wasn't sure who was hot on the Steelers side besides the eye candy I chose — he seems like a really upright guy, too. A very classy man!

  8. donna ann says:

    Karen — glad you stuck a Steeler in there. For a moment I thought I was going to have to scold you for favoritism ;) There’s a couple goodies on the team. Aaron Smith (who unfortunately won’t be playing due to injury) & Heath Miller are also easy on the eyes :)

  9. Freshechelle says:

    Ah, so there is an upside to football. who knew?

    Nice pic of yourself Karen with your imaginary husband.

  10. dbrown3400 says:

    How nice to get a pic of Aaron with those sleepy bedroom eyes to start off a FROS Sunday. Hope he’s got his game on today. And that Clay’s right there on defense. Go Packers!

  11. Karen Hawkins says:

    Donna Ann, I should have asked you for Steelers suggestions. I’ll check out Aaron Smith and Heath Miller for future FROS.

    Fresh, thanks. I like to ‘keep it real’ when it comes to tgb.

    GO PACK!

  12. Sarah says:

    Best FRO ever for Superbowl Sunday… Troy Polamalu (and really the only reason I care to watch Football, which is a lot coming from someone who was born and raised in the Pittsburgh area) SHIRTLESS. http://chicksinthehuddle.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/troy-polamalu-pictures-1.jpg

    Beware The Hair!!!! Here we go Steelers, Here we Go!!!

  13. Gannon says:

    Is it any wonder I love football?!

  14. Claudia Dain says:

    Enjoy Superbowl Day, goddesses!

  15. Suzanne Enoch says:

    Like Fresh, I was somewhat distrated from the football photos by the image of KarenH and my boyfriend, Hugh. Sheesh. Next you’ll be getting coffee cups with his image on them. 8g*

  16. Karen Hawkins says:

    Suzanne, et tu, Brutia? Sniff, sniff.

    I use that cup every day, btw. I <3 it! :)

  17. June says:

    Karen—Yeah! Your team won!!

  18. Karen Hawkins says:

    June, I am so PSYCHED! It’s time for a WINE AND CHEESE partay! :)

  19. infinitieh says:

    On the Tonight Show, Clay Matthews flipped his hair. Sad to say, he did that much better than I could. Of course, I do have longer hair than he. Perhaps I need to practice? I also want triceps like his.

  20. Karen Hawkins says:

    I want his triceps, too. I mean, I ALSO want triceps LIKE his. Heh!

  21. June says:

    Did you catch any of the puppy bowl? I know you had said you had never heard of it before.

  22. Jamie Beck says:

    I saw the puppy bowl (some of it anyway) and it was just too cute. Didn’t quite understand what they were attempting to do. Which puppy is the best? But it was awfully cute.

  23. Stephanie says:

    The Packer guys were cuter. Way cuter.

  24. Magen says:

    I was routing for the Packers, they have better looking guys! Gotta Love Clay Matthews, Definitely my favorite, then theres A.J. Hawk, and of course Aaron Rodgers :-p And so many onthers too!

  25. Carol L says:

    Whew, that quarterback Aaron Rodgers, beautiful. :)

    I was rooting for the Packers and ogling all those handsome men. Woo-hoo!

  27. Robin D says:

    Ooh, yummy!

  28. Kelly says:

    I love me some muscled eye candy! Cute idiots? I’m good with that.

    [...] along with 9 other authors write about men, sex, food, travel and writing.  My favorite posts are FROS – For Refreshment Only Sunday, where photos of a super-hottie are posted for your drooling [...]

  30. Kat says:

    Wow thanks for the great pics, I wished I had watched the game now, I think I missed watching some hunks

  31. SNAFU says:

    Haven’t watched much football lately. Had a serious crush when I was younger on Joe Montana and John Elway.

  32. Shelley Croft says:

    I don’t understand football, but when my husband takes me I get through it by watching the tight uniforms… :) Very nice back ends.

  33. Dotty says:

    I like the players who respect the opposing players and act courteously. I hate when players kick someone when they’re down. As far as commercials, Betty White’s commercial from last year will always be tops!
