Meet 6-Foot-4, 216-Pound Italian Volleyball Player Filippo Lanza

A baker's dozen more photos of the Silver-medal winning dreamboat HERE.

You Can't Hide Your Ryan Eyes

At the risk of "over-exaggerating*," I could get lost in Ryan Lochte's pool-blue eyes -- but boy is this guy a dunce. You can't say you're taking "full responsibility" for lying about something while also insisting you weren't necessarily not telling the truth. #tantics

*Over-exaggerate is not a word.

Ryan Lochte 'Apologizes' for His 'Role' in Rio Robbery He Fabricated

Wow. With wording like this he would make a great disgraced politician.

Meet Six-Time Italian National Wrestling Champion Daigoro Timoncini

While I realize the pool of great-looking Olympic athletes is deep and wide, I'm officially ready to go on the record as saying 6-foot, 212-pound Italian Greco-Roman wrestler Daigoro Timoncini is hands down the hottest of them all. Eighteen evidentiary photos -- including a jaw-dropping Speedo shot -- HERE.

What Would Ryan Lochte Do?

Apparently lie through his teeth, according to prosecutors in Rio. He and teammates Jack Conger, Gunnar Bentz and Jimmy Feigen should be prosecuted for what amounts to the biggest anti-tourism ad in the history of travel. Just shameful.No wonder he was so blasé about the whole thing.

Water Polo Players Make Splash in Rio

A concerned reader writes: I'm unable to choose which Italian water polo team member is the best looking. Niccolò Gitto? Pietro Figlioli? Stefano Tempesti? Matteo Aicardi? Ioannis Fountoulis? 

I'll let you decide ...

Pietro Figlioli

Stefano Tempesti

Matteo Aicardi

And people are complaining about NBC's, um, coverage of the Rio Olympics.

Separated at Girth: Jake Dalton and Fernando Nielsen

My men's gymnastics gay-porn theory continues: first Danell Leyva and porn star Damien Crosse and now Damian makes note of the likeness between Jake Dalton and porn star Fernando Nielsen. Look for Fernando -- I mean Jake in the individual event competitions, particularly floor exercise, next week!

Congrats to Simone Biles and Aly Raisman for being the best gymnasts in the world, and for their great taste in men! 

Where's the (Argentinian) Beef?

Damian flipped on the U.S.-Argentina rugby match this morning, for obvious reasons. What I wasn't expecting was for the cheering section, above, to be as hot as the men on the field, who beat the U.S. in a thriller.

Medalless U.S. Men's Gymnastics Team's Plan B: Gay Porn?

The U.S. Men's Gymnastics Team had a disappointing afternoon competing in the all-around team final in the Rio Olympics on Monday, walking away from the day with no medals. The five HUNKY gymnasts -- Sam Mikulak, Jake Dalton, Alex Naddour, Chris Brooks and Danell Leyva -- never really got their rhythm as they competed, and ended up placing 5th in the competition. Despite the disappointing finish, these boys clearly have other skills they can put to good use.

He'll Cry for Himself, Argentina

I have to say, my takeaway from Juan Martin del Potro's flawless win over Novak Djokovic is how sad it is that injuries have stopped the man -- who managed to make Roger Federer (in the 2009 U.S. Open final) and the world number one (yesterday in Rio) look like idiots -- from playing like we know he can. (That flat forehand is a thing of beauty.) And kudos for not losing in the second round, too!
