Talk'OH! Tuesday

Written by Glenn Javier

Autumn has already brought the cool temperature to Canada and across North America. But luckily, Fall Sports have been keeping us warm with the number of sizzling athletes present during the games. Beyond their tremendous athletic skills in their respective sports, there's a whole lot to drool over, if you know what we mean. This month, we are showing love to a couple of sexy superhumans that are currently playing, have recently played or will be participating in some of the biggest sporting events this season.

Yes, we all know there's a lot of them but we will only feature four athletes, and probably a few honourable mentions. No need to turn up the thermostat cause we're bringing the heat in 3, 2, 1...
