Sportrait: Carl Edwards

NASCAR driver Carl Edwards is one of more than 30 male and female athletes doffing clothes for ESPN Magazine's upcoming 'Body Issue' (now there's a bump at the newsstand). Another photo reportedly features Edwards down to his boxer-briefs.

You may recall that Edwards already flashed some skin for an earlier issue.

Sportrait: Ben Cohen

British rugby bear Ben Cohen disrobes again for this month's issue of Attitude.

Says Cohen: I don't think I've got a good body. And that's not cause I want you to say I have. I don't look in the mirror and go: 'Fucking hell Benny, good body.' I look at it and go, actually, I need to lose some more weight, I need to do some more work and I'll go into the gym and I'll try, I don't really think I have a good body. If people do than fair enough. I think it's my genetic make-up. I don't really have much of a say in it."

Sportrait: Mark Sanchez

New York Jets rookie quarterback Mark Sanchez has already jumped headlong into the world of fashion mag objectification in a new swimwear shoot for GQ shot by Carter Smith.

They write: "Like all NFL rookies, Sanchez now faces a punishing time at training camp, where he’ll no doubt be hazed by his new teammates. We’re going to go out on a limb and assume that these photos—of Sanchez in formfitting lifeguard-wear—might not help."
