(Second in our series of looking at the hotties behind who pay for hotties on the teams – the hot owners. Don’t worry, Mark, we’ll get to you.)

Did you know that Bernie Kosar was the part-owner of the Florida Panthers?  Neither did I, but I was more than happy to add him to the list of hot owners.

What makes Bernie a hottie:

• Lead the Miami Hurricanes to win the National Championship while managing to graduate early with a double major in finance and economics.
• Is as close to a folk hero as you can get in Cleveland leading the Browns to a few amazing seasons in the late 80′s, ruined only by John Elway and the Broncos.  (Steeler fan side note – The Browns have not won the AFC Central-now-North Division since Kosar was their QB.)
• Used to have a greeting card company, (I still have some of his Steeler cards in my box of stationary), and now owns a steakhouse in Miami.

Not the usual sizzle factor, but worth noting:

• Bernie is going through a rather messy divorce but seems to be keeping a rather healthy attitude about the situation, despite his wife’s allegations against him.

(First in a series highlighting some of the hotter pro-sports team owners.  There are some gems to be found among all those pasty old white men.  Don’t worry, Mark, we’ll get to you.)

What makes Wyc Grousbeck a hottie  -

Plays drums in a classic rock band, French Lick.

A degree in history from Princeton,  JD from Michigan Law School, and MBA from Stanford Business School.  Hot, hot, hot.  

• Successful venture capitalist. 
• Has a cute mole.
• While an undergrad at Princeton, was on an undefeated lightweight men’s crew team. (I coxed an undefeated lightweight’s men team at the same level in my college days, and I can say with some authority that those guys are in amazing shape.  NO FAT!)
• Active philanthropist.

The Wyc Grousbeck sizzle factor that got him on this list -

• That his wife and her friends went into the Celtics locker roomafter a game to get autographs while the players were still changing.  HOT!  Rumor has it that one lady got her shoulder autographed by a player.     I would like to think that if any of The Ladies… husbands/boyfriends/what-have-you owned, (or in the case of Wyc, headed up a group of owners), that we would be able to sneak into the locker room during towel time.    
• (A man secure enough with his wife locking around a locker room, is a hot man.)
• (Mostly it is about him having a locker room for her to walk into.  During towel time.)

Mark appeared this week on “Mad Money” on CNBC, in a special program broadcasting from Indiana University (his alma mater). He talks about everything from the Mavs to his advice to new entrepreneurs to Youtube to the possibility of buying the Cubs. After the jump, check out the videos of his two segments on the show- an interview and a Q&A with the audience.
