Top 5 Hot Sports Wives

As football season heats up with the holidays, we got to thinking about the current crop of sports wives who, in the classic Joe & Marilyn tradition, steal more than a little of their husbands' spotlight. When it comes to personality, it's Eva over Tony hands down. Victoria Beckham rivals David for style any day and $150-million-dollar Gisele trumps Tom in the bank account department. (We know she's not married to Tom Brady but can you blame us for including her?) See where these ladies and others landed in our Top Five Sports Wives countdown.



Since everyone has at least one sports-loving guy on their gift list, we put together a special shopping guide to give you a jumpstart.

If you're shopping for...

A New Guy. He sat through 'Rachel Getting Married' without complaining. It's time to reward him with tickets to a game that you can go to together. These three websites-StubHub.com, TicketsNow.com, and craigslist.org- where buyers and sellers can interact directly, are great for finding deals and seats when more conventional outlets are sold out.

A Guy You've Been Dating a While. At a certain point, when he comes out in a jeans-and-jean-shirt ensemble, you've been together long enough to gently ask, "Do you really want to wear that?" The holidays are an opportunity to point him in the right sartorial direction. No one can argue with a classic, universally flattering wool pea coat. We've spotted Brad Pitt, Jake Gyllenhaal, Colin Farrell, and Ben Affleck in variations on the pea coat cut. Army Navy stores carry them. Banana Republic's $350 version is dashing.H&M has a sleek black option for $79.90.

Your Long-Term Main Man. Since Elin Nordegren's our number one sports wife, we checked out Tiger Wood's Tag Heuer Professional Golf Watch. It's an investment at $1600 but one that Tiger fans would surely appreciate. If you're looking for recognizable design for less, one brand we love is Toy Watch. Take a look at their Gold Chrono Collection to see what we mean. They're nicely priced at $150 and up. Fans include Adrian Grenier, Aaron Eckhart and Owen Wilson. We particularly love the 'emerald' from their new Jeweltone Plasteramic Collection.

If there's anything you'd like us to help you find as you shop for your sports-addict or anyone else, for that matter, let us know at sar_bernard@yahoo.com or post a comment below.

Thanks for checking out The Thread. We'll be back again next week from our Planet Hollywood studio with a brand new episode.

    I could not get past the intro.. she is ingratiatingly painful to listen to. or perhaps it is the useless information which is more of a distraction. I don't get it, this cvan't be what passes as entertainment is it?

    This type of "information" seems much like something you can dumb yourself down with from Access hollywood or E or whatever pathetic example of reporting there is. I want to say something nice, but unfortunately there literally is nothing of any value whiuch would justify a nice comment.

    I could care less about these overly inflated egos. What bag of bones Beckham does and says and wears is overrated and irrelevant as news.

    The narrator needs to work with a voice coach.

    Seriously who is deciding that women like Giselle and Victoria Beckham are even attractive? What's next ....Will the skeleton models in doctors offices make People magazine's sexiest list?
