THE FACE OF "STRONG AND SILENT"...


It's refreshing to know that there's a fabulous athlete out there who doesn't appear to have an ego the size of Montana. Chase Utley, the Adonis of Philadelphia sports, simply doesn't like to talk about himself. You won't find Chuttles spouting off about how damn wonderful he is (and he is indeed damn wonderful). Luckily, his parents have no qualms about talking about how seriously awesome their son is. Hey, a great player like Utley deserves some attention, you know? It's cool that Utley is so passionate to doing a fantastic job for the Phillies and can motivate his teammates to do their best to win...without saying much at all. His presence says it all. Reading an article like the one linked above is so much better than reading about Manny Ramirez bellyaching about wanting off the Red Sox...and then pissing off the Sox so much that they pretty much had no choice but to trade him. (Enjoy being part of the NL West, Manny--but I bet you're gonna miss the excitement and competitiveness of the AL East!)

I suppose it wouldn't be a BILF Report post without reiterating that not only is Utley an amazing and humble ballplayer...he's also ridiculously hot. (Come on, you knew that was coming, didn't you?)
