I think it’s safe to say Leo wins this one hands down, Tom. Bar’s body is amazing and her face doesn’t look like Frank Langella.

this is getting bad. unlike an injury, he has not been cleared to do any kind of conditioning on the side.
February 10th, 2009 at 8:16 AM
With a body like that, Im guessing Bar does ‘roids.
Good to see my all-time favorite model at #15.
February 10th, 2009 at 8:17 AM
i’m with you – Bar > Gisele, no doubt.
February 10th, 2009 at 8:20 AM
In your face, Palestine.

How the hell is Laetitia Casta only #16? She should be 15 spots higher in my book. I mean, come on !
February 10th, 2009 at 8:23 AM
Brady isn’t even in Leo’s league when it comes to having a hot girlfriend. Actually, no one is. Bar is unbelievable.
February 10th, 2009 at 8:26 AM
I hope they castrate that oxygen thief.
February 10th, 2009 at 8:29 AM
Hahahahaha. Might be true, but still funny to read.
February 10th, 2009 at 8:33 AM
anyone watch the CNBC video? interesting stuff. highly recommend Black Swan, by Taleb
February 10th, 2009 at 8:40 AM
Have mercy Bar looks hot on that cover. Sweet Jebus.

68 degrees predicted in Milwaukee today. that’s an all-time high for February 10. nothing like warm weather to bring you into baseball season.

Didn’t we have this discussion last year?
I thought we determined that the Tyra Banks cover won hands down.
February 10th, 2009 at 8:50 AM
the “im pulling these off, not on.” is my favorite super model move.
February 10th, 2009 at 8:51 AM
titties

black swan vid no work in chrome.
February 10th, 2009 at 8:54 AM
isla fisher on GMA … she favors short skirts. big fan of the british accent
February 10th, 2009 at 8:55 AM
She’s Australian, you twit.
February 10th, 2009 at 8:56 AM
TBL, I agree, the Black Swan was very good. Unfortunately, it seems like no one is going to listen until it’s too late.
The good news is Obama will be in my town this afternoon to save the local real estate market…I hope he brings his magic wand because it just keeps getting worser and worser around here. On the flip side, anyone with $150,000 can buy a nice waterfront McMansion.

I think it’s safe to say Leo wins this one hands down, Tom. Bar’s body is amazing and her face doesn’t look like an emanciated Steffi Graf.

If you go to SI, there are like 50 pics of Bar, several in a shirt that basically covers nothing. Those are some seriously amazing mammary glands.

You know, I could have saved a lot of my time reading that financial blog if this guy just stated at the top he’s a radical survivalist prepared for martial law. Although a lot of what he suggests is to stay the course we are on, let people fail, leading to the martial law and violence he claims he fears.

nice work Coop. how can you call that a swimsuit?
February 10th, 2009 at 9:02 AM
All the ARod posts, and I can’t find anyone talking about this?:

danica looks lovely in her spread
February 10th, 2009 at 9:18 AM
Meh, not great. Nice to see she’s completely given up on being a “respected athlete” and all that shit. Those GoDaddy Super Bowl commercials with her were ridiculous. She’s nothing more than a cheap whore at this point, not that there’s anything wrong with that.
February 10th, 2009 at 9:23 AM
It should have been Brooklyn Decker…
February 10th, 2009 at 11:01 AM
Bar’s bio line on SI.com states the following “Bar Refaeli, 23, began modeling as an eight-month-old in her native Israel.“
February 10th, 2009 at 11:06 AM
bsanders…
Please disregard my previous post…I though you were talking about Bar.

After watching the CNBC video, the interviewers were asking the wrong questions. They’re so used to quick, thoughtless stock recommendations that they don’t know how to interview people who aren’t stock pickers. CNBC is to finance what SportsCenter is to sports

Also, they admitted they were shorting a lot of investments, so really they benefit if the market and economy continues to nosedive. While I’m not saying that they’re wrong or that their opinions may be financially swayed, you have to be a little cautious of the poster boys for the doom and gloom when they made their fame and fortune on the market’s collapse. It’s almost no different than people who own a lot of stocks telling other people that NO IS THE TIME TO BUY!
