Deadspin has this charming story about how Elvis Grbac, second-string QB for the Kansas City Chiefs and all-round goofy-looking dude, ended up as People magazine's “Sexiest Athlete Alive” in 1998. It's funny and sad in equal parts, and well worth the read.
Culture Buzz So People thinks Hugh Jackman is currently the sexiest man out there. Who else we got? Barack Obama, Robert Downey Jr. and Trace Adkins are other options, if Jackman doesn't float your boat. Apparently people like David Beckham, too.
