Phil Heath at DU |
Heath showed his impressive physique that netted him the $200,000 first prize. He's the 13th winner of Mr. Olympia. Cutler was the winner in 2006, 2007, 2009 and 2010. Dexter Jackson claimed the title in 2008. Other Mr. Olympia winners include big names like Lee Haney and Ronnie Coleman, as well as Arnold Schwarzenegger in the early to mid '70s.
Phil Heath, age 31, was emotional after his big win, with his friend Jay Cutler happy to see his friend and rival victorious. Heath is a former University of Denver basketball player, who started his bodybuilding career in 2002.

Boy, we really need to get hockey season going. This post needs the "Who Cares" tag.
I disagree.
When some DU athlete/alumnus gets to the top of their sports-related profession, it's worth some publicity here.
I am sure Heath worked very hard to win this...
No jelly donuts for Heath.
Yay Heath. Now, on to hockey please...
Just try to keep the image of DG in posing trunks out of your head.
We need to put this guy on skates and when the North Da Goona team plays us knock a couple of them into the student section.
Do we really need to know whether DG prefers boxers, briefs or a thong?

Yikes, what has this blog become? Oiled up, buffed dudes in banana hammocks? We'll never get Abe, errrrr, Mexico out of here with this kind of stuff.
Mexico's keyboard is probably too sticky right now for him to post!

Hey Todd,
Get off my nuts!
Aye, yi, yi Mex. Randy's kiss and cry forum getting too boring for ya?
Hey 14ers,
Why do you call it the kiss and cry forum? I'm curious. Please fill me in.
If it's something personal or sexual spare me the details.
Randy bans fans of other teams, especially DU, from that forum. He likes to keep it all in the CC family. So, when CC wins all you peeps can kiss each other and talk about how great CC is and when CC loses, the sob fest is on with each consoling one another. How quaint.
I knew that. I just wanted to hear you say it again.
I guess I just do whatever it takes to get attention from you? Why won’t you return my phone calls???
When CO chunk teeners left the springs the springs became one of the fittest cities!!!
Shit man, Drew Soicher of 9News at 5:00 just did the Drews Clues trivia piece featuring this guy!!!
This is a cool story. Whether you care about bodybuilding or not, winning the Olympia is an incredible feat.

When mexico leaves the springs, they will climb the IQ charts exponentially...jus sayin...
P.S.
That exponentially comment will mean the equivalence of rick perry all of sudden being as smart as my turd I just flushed...
So, the Springs with mexico = rick perry
and the Springs minus mexico = my turd
I can provide a more detailed flow chart if that is too confusing...
anon@9:57 said "When mexico leaves the springs, they will climb the IQ charts exponentially..."
And if he moves to Denver, so will they...
Kind of interesting or telling that DU hoops two most famous alums are Phil Heath and Sinbad the actor.
@9:18, at least there are a lot of support services in Denver for people like mexico, we don't discriminate and support the less fortunate around here.
Can't believe that no one has jumped on the "jay Cutler" reference...
