Sidelines: Raul Gonzalez Blanco

Okay, I'll readily admit that though I do enjoy soccer, I'm far from what you would call an expert.

So today's update, as with most European footballers, is of someone I know nothing about. Still the pics are nice.

Props to TZ for finding some of these.

Nando Verdasco

Hi guys. Second update for Nando this month!!

I know that TZ (Y! group owner) is lovin' this update. And what's not to love? A huge Spanish hunk flaunting his brieflines all over the court.

I added thirteen new pics of Nando to the brflines site this morning. Well actually, fifteen, because like the Novak update earlier this month, i sorted through the pics and got rid of duplicates. So nos. 22 and 23 are new too :) Yay!

Thomas Johansson

Hey guys, updated the brflines site today with some new, hot pictures of Thomas Johansson.

Thomas Johansson, or ToJo, is like a best friend. Trusty and he always delivers (a good briefline that is).

So, enjoy ToJos new pics and the warm feeling you get when you look at them.

Cheers!

2K

So in between all the postings and site updates, I completely missed the fact that the brflines site blew past the 2,000 mark.

That's over two thousand briefline pictures, of just tennis players. To be exact, the site contains 2,014 pictures of 175 pro tennis players. But that's not all, my friends.

In addition to the over 2,000 tennis briefline photos, there's an additional 183 photos of football players (both variants) in the sidelines section of the site.

It's a huge undertaking, done with much love for you all. Here's to another 2K.

Love you much!

Marcelo Melo

So yesterday, I posted an update for Arnaud Clement, who is listed as 5'8". Today's update, Marcelo Melo, is a full foot taller!

Holy crap balls, that is a tall guy!

I added four new pics of him to his page on the brflines site. So, go check them out :)

Arnaud Clement

Arnaud Clement is a cute little dude. And he is the focus of today's update on the brflines site.

I added seven new pics of Arnaud to his page on the brflines site. Now we all know that he wears briefs on court, but the picture of him in the yellow trunks is cool as well :)

See you guys later!

Sam Warburg

Well, lookee here. It's been a long time since an American was added to the brflines site. But there it is.

Sam Warburg got a new page on the site. Big ups to my bud Kyle for finding these and sending via the yahoo group.

April's Top 10

Hey guys, time for another Top 10 list.

These lists are usually static, with very little movement amongst the players, but there's been a lot of change in the last month.

As a reader of this blog, you know that every month I list the ten players with the most pictures on my brieflines site.

The top five have ALWAYS been, Novak Djokovic, Tommy Robredo, Richard Gasquet, Fernando Verdasco, and Jarkko Nieminen, not necessarily in that order, but always with those players. The rest of the five have usually been made up players like Mario Ancic (actually, he's also always been on the list), Marat Safin, Thomas Johansson, Roger Federer, and Andy Roddick.

However, in the past month, Roger Federer moved into the top five, edging out Jarkko Nieminen who falls to number six. Also, for the first time ever, Frenchman, Paul Henri Mathieu is on the list, as he debuts at no. 10. The rest of the list looks like this:

1. Novak Djokovic (185)
2. Richard Gasquet (155)
3. Tommy Robredo (153)
4. Fernando Verdasco (102)
5. Roger Federer (70)
6. Jarkko Nieminen (67)
7. Andy Roddick (64)
8. Mario Ancic (63)
9. Marat Safin (47)
10. Paul Henri Mathieu (46)

Sidelines: David Beckham

Yessir! It's time for another David Beckham update to sidelines on the brflines site.

I added eight new pics of Becks in various stages of briefiness. There's the Armani briefiness. Then the speedo briefiness. Finally the classic brieflines photos.

I know that there's tons more out there, but I just haven't had the time to look :(

So, if you have any, send them my way.

Bye!

Nicolas Almagro

Hey guys, I added some new pics of Nicolas Almagro to his page on the brflines site this morning!

One of the new ones is attached to this post so you can see what you're in for.

Adios!

Nikolay Davydenko

Good morning, guys. Another small update to the brflines site.

Kolya Davydenko has been MIA on the scene this year. Usually, he sneaks into a master's tourney semi or final, but he's not been there.

Here's hoping that he shows up in one in the clay courts in Europe, especially in white shorts!

Filippo Volandri

Hey guys, just a quick update with another pap shot of Filippo Volandri.

Filippo was just reinstated to the tour after a little snafu with the anti-dopers. Anyway, can't wait to see him back on court with his designer tennis wear.

See you guys later!

New Novak Pics (-ish)

Hey guys, I made an update to Novak Djokovic's page on the brflines site this morning.

I wouldn't say that I added new pics, but I did in a way. So I went back into the flash drive that I keep his pics in and arranged the photos by dimensions and saw hella duplicates in there!

So I went back and deleted all the dupes and replaced them with brand new pics. So the update did include new pics, but his overall total grew by just one after I swapped out all the dupes for new pics. Anyway, so the only way I can tell you which ones were swapped out is to tell you the picture number (you can find the number in the file name when you browse over the link). The numbers of the dupes that were deleted and then replaced with new pics are:

40
41
67
94
95
102
108
123
124
132
139
140
142
150
152
162
170

Whew!

Richy Rich

Hi guys. At least one of you out there I know (B from Australia) has been waiting for the next Richy Gasquet update. So here it is!

I added ten new pics of Richy to the brflines site this monring. So, please go over and look at them.

Cheers!

Ignacio Coll-Riudavets

Okay, I know nothing about this kid, Ignacio Coll-Riudavets, except that he was Rafa's doubles partner in the ABN/AMRO tourney in Rotterdam early this year.

Regardless, three pics of him have been added to a brand new page for him on the brflines site because we don't discriminate based on the recognition, rank, or looks of the player!

Paul Henri Mathieu

Ah! Beautiful Paul Henri Mathieu.

He's the focus of today's update. He hasn't had as good a hard court season as he did in at the beginning of last year, but will probably pick up his game come the clay court season. (you know those euros and their clay courts).

Anywho, I added nine new pics, one of which is attached to this post.

A bientot!

Feli Lopez

Wow! Have you seen Feli with his new haircut?

It looks really good on him. He always had a great looking body which is why I bothered trying to find pics of him before. But he never climbed up to that upper eschelon of Spanish hotties for me (Robredo, Ferrero, Verdasco) because I detest long hair. Anway, the short hair on him has much improved his looks.

He also said in an interveiw that he considered himself a "metrosexual". I think we all know what that means....

He also wears a jock from time to time, which I find kind of cool. Anyway, I added ten pics of him on the brflines site. Check them out boys.

Marcel Granollers

Hey guys, I updated Marcel's page on the brflines site this morning.

I added one new pic of him. While not as comely as his compatriot, GGL, who was the focus of yesterday's update, I wouldn't say no if he offered an indecent proposition.

The one new pic is attached to this blogpost, so no need to surf on over to the site (that is, unless you want to!).

Ciao!

Guillermo Garcia Lopez

Hi guys, good morning.

I added two pics to the webpage devoted to GGL's brieflines on the site.

I wish I could see him play. He has a really good looking mug. Anywho, enjoy the new pics guys and see you all later.

Mikhail Youzhny

It's been a little while since I made an update to Mikhail Youzhny's page on the brflines site.

Mikhail's sort of been flying under the radar and he's probably past the peak age to win a grand slam, but I'm glad he's still on the tour.

He kind of reminds me of a hot, muscular, tennis-playing Chandler Bing. Anyway, I added three new pics, so go check them out.

Peace!

Ruben Ramirez Hidalgo

Hey guys, I added a page for Ruben Ramirez Hidalgo to the brflines site.

His page starts with six extremely humpy photos of him taken by Alexito from the MTF at the Acupulco tourney.

He also took a bunch of pics of other players (shirtless) like my amore, Tommy Robredo, and some really nice ones of Lukasz Kubot that are to be upadated on the brflines site at a later time.

Of course, if you are a member of the yahoo group, you would have seen them already. So what are you waiting for??

Guillermo Canas

Hey guys, the update for today is the addition of new pics to the page for Guillermo Canas of Argentina.

I added four new pics, one of which is attached to this blog post. Enjoy!

Roger Federer

Good morning, guys. I added some pics of Roger Federer to his page on the brflines site this morning.

Well, it certainly seems like the gleam has come of Roger's game as he no longer dominates. Players like Nadal and Murray can beat Roger on any given night, I believe Andy Murray now has four consecutive wins over Roger.

But Roger will always be a great champion and for us, a champion of the briefline!

Andy Roddick

Well, the Andy pics keep coming in.

Amazingly, years after he switched to those nasty compression shorts, there are still unique, never found before brieflines photos of Andy floating out there on the net.

I added four such pictures to the brflines site this morning, one of which is attached to this post.

Ciao!

Nineteenhundred

Yesterday's massive Rafa update vaulted us past 1,900 brieflines photos that are stored on the site.

So as I pause to reflect that I'm within eighty or so pictures of 2,000, it's also time to thank contributors. So here goes:

TZ

That's it!

Just kidding.

Thanks evryone for writing, commenting and supporting the brflines site and blog. If you haven't already, please go the guestbook and leave a comment for posterity.

I'll see you guys at 2K!!!!.

Rafa Nadal

Double your pleasure boys...

Another unplanned update, I was getting a lot of Rafa photos and hadn't planned on doing an update on his page until later in the month. So I decided to purge a little and put some of them up.

"Some" turned out to be twenty two pics, essentially doubling the size of the size of Rafa's page, from twenty two pictures to forty four.

Rafa will be a force to be dealt with and will soon be amongst the top 10. Look out!

Fernando Verdasco

I know, I know! I just did a Fernando Verdasco update less than a month ago. Rule of thumb for updates for me is that it takes at least a month before a player will work his way up through the queue to get another update.

I beg you guys are super tired of looking at Nando's brieflines too....wha??? That ass is a work of art boys, so let's hope that hey keep coming in. I added ten new pics of Nando to the site. Check them out!!
