In the age of Internet selfies, modesty has become passe. Everyone now wants to bare it all. Professional athletes are catching up with Hollywood actors in seeing who can bare more. The Star's Dana Hunsinger
calls it "the BIG reveal" as three Colts offensive linemen join the growing list of athletes who have bared it all for their fans. How long will it be before it passes from scandalous to necessity for our politicians to strip down if they want our votes? Anthony Weiner and Justin Moed may have been trend-setters.

Follow links to the online edition of the Body Issue and watch the video of the photo shoot. Its fun. The guys seem intelligent, thoughtful, a bit shy. The director and staff spend a fair amount of time trying to hide the fact, well, that they are "men" from the camera as they get some pretty artistic, athletic, but definitely nude shots. I also liked the written interview that went with it, and was pleasantly surprised to find out that the Colts players are fascinated with extraterrestrials, as am I, and completely believe in the ufo, otherworldly life out there stuff, which isn't the kind of intellectual discussions our nonintellectual sports writers usually ask football players. But Luck is from Stanford, and a lot of these guys are really bright. And when they asked them if they felt sexy, they were like, absolutely. And I think all three looked especially hot; not the kind of fat guys from the old days. They are really much more athletic these days and not just running refrigerators. I liked the issue, and it showed off our Colts exceptionally well, even their minds.
Lord knows the word "prude" can rarely be applied to me but, wow, this is just grossly pathetic on so many levels. I had to re-read Anon 8:03 to understand if (1) 8:03 was serious, if (2) 8:03 was being sarcastic, or if (3) 8:03 could be on psychotropic meds.
With a role model like the pill-popping, law-evading, chronically high Jim Irsay, is it any wonder these dough boys ("athletic? LOL!!) would stoop to beefcake buffoonery? Not that I care but to call these fools, these overgrown teenagers, "intelligent" is just, well, it's as beyond as a UFO. And maybe that's what these Colt goofballs are- "UFO's": Unintelligent Fat Objects.
The lie that the RFRA would economically devastate the City might be trumped by the lie this is serious photojournalism and will be an economic boon drawing more to visit and spend in Indy.
Pro sports players used to be role models for youth. Now they are criminals or strippers. Shameful.
When did ESPN transform to a gay porn site?
Twinky Justin Bieber decided to post a naked Instagram photo today. He's trying to keep up with all of the competition. ESPN has gone all out on getting athletes to pose nude. Ironic that ESPN's parent company is Walt Disney Company, which also owns ABC. Walt Disney Studios is now run by a bunch of pedophiles. Walt Disney would burn himself at the stake if he saw what Eisner and company turned his entertainment empire into.
funny, I don't hear the outrage over women's boobs and butts hanging out. These are actually very well tone athletes. I have drawn lots of nudes in my art school studies, and would have loved to have the chance to draw these guys.
No, there's nothing wrong with the human body, but "reveal" has been dumbed down or superficially reduced, to that which is base. Do we expect this from Lilly or other execs & employees (big three law firms)? Would Disney allow it's mascots or employees to stand naked behind mouse ears?
Considering this is professionally subsidized sports from the public treasury (vs. free market, professional sports); does this best represent the City of Indianapolis?
And yes, criticism of cheerleader dance porn is fair game too. There are two things naturally occurring & basic to most people, that they don't need to have "marketed" or "sold" to them- food & sex; which is perhaps why is "works" as a matter of predisposition. That said, is this the best that can be done, to represent these men, the team & the city?
