Ladies and Gents (But Mostly Gents), Your 2007 Hottest Female Athlete: Ashley Force

And it wasn't even close: Ashley Force, she of the funny car drag racing -- which isn't exactly a sport that sends men into dreamy thoughts of female beauty -- has decisively taken down the field in the AOL Sports Hot Female Athlete Contest, rolling Jennie Finch in the final 79%-21%.

That's a really impressive victory, given Finch's established status as one of the most beautiful women in sports, and high name-recognition among most people. Finch and Force are both in fringe sports, but Finch is by far the more famous of the two, rendering Force's win that much more unlikely.

But the fun doesn't end there. Force will now face off against Tom Brady, who took home an equally decisive title over Andy Roddick in the Hot Male Athlete bracket. How exactly these two people will graded against one another is beyond me. As a guy, I'm fully willing to admit that Tom Brady is a handsome fellow -- and he certainly has an enviable life -- but when it comes to "hotness," is any straight guy going to take Brady over Force? Likewise, is any straight gal going to vote against Brady? Who will hit the polls harder: men or women? Not to mention homosexual voting patterns and the key bisexual swing vote. The politics are mind-boggling.

I do know this, though: Ashley Force is your female champ. And no amount of sexual confusion in the final round can rob her of her hotness.
