I know that you either have to be a football fan or from Arizona, Iowa, or St. Louis to know who this guy is, but since I am from Arizona and do know who he is, I thought I’d share the wealth of such knowledge with every woman who, either isn’t football fan enough, or married enough (husbands know who he is), to know the name that goes with this face. (Your dude might even have a man crush on him).

He’s such a Fit After Thirty Hotty that I had to make Kurt Warner our f.a.t.ty man of the week - especially after Sunday’s Cardinals win over the Cowboys. (Nail biting game, by the way!) I was lucky enough to be in AZ to see the game; and something about the experience of sharing the drool towel with my sister as we ogled him while he sweat his way to victory, reminded me that I’d be doing a disservice to women who don’t watch football, if I didn’t make you all aware of his existence.

I can hear you asking what’s so special about him. Nice butt you ask? You could bounce a quarter off of it. In fact, let’s try to get a referee to do that instead of flipping the quarter before the next game just to test the theory. Manly? Hello! He’s a quaraterback. Of course he’s manly. Pretty eyes? A set you’d want to stare into for hours. Basically, he’s model-perfect without the femme factor. But normally this still isn’t enough to get my heart racing. You all know by now, character is high on my list when it comes to men who are worthy of fantasizing about. So you won’t be surprised that Kurt’s sex appeal goes way beyond looks.

I’m not going to bore you with all of his football accomplishments - mainly because I don’t know them all and I don’t follow stats and numbers. But the gist of it is this. He is the epitome of success obtained through steady persistence and good sportsmanship. He didn’t initially make the pros when he tried out, but he played arena football and coached at the college level until he finally did. He wasn’t always the starter, but played hard and succeeded when he finally was. After becoming a Cardinal and subsequently being replaced by Matt Leinart as starter, he was happy for Leinart’s successes. He is once again starting quarterback and is still an amazing passer.

I know you’re not ready to kiss his smelly cleat feet yet so keep reading. He married his college sweetheart and adopted her two kids. Not a big deal to take on someone’s kids when you’re a millionaire, right? What if I told you he took on that responsibility before he ever made the pros, and took a retail job at night to support the family. I know. I know. You want to remove his sweaty socks with your teeth now. Hold on. The best part: he’s still married to her and they have since had five of their own kids together. (So, I’m thinking he likes sex and his parts all work pretty well). Bonus!
