Amanda Beard Wants Danica, Anna, And Maria To Drop Their Tops

In an interview with SI's Richard Deitsch, Amanda Beard was asked what other female athletes she thought would be good fodder for Hef and his nudie mag. (In case you just returned from a third-world country and don't know, she is in the upcoming issue of Playboy.) Her response was pretty on the mark, I think.

Anna Kournikova, Maria Sharapova and Danica Patrick. Anna is gorgeous. And Danica is a bad-ass chick. She has a lot of male fans, so she would be perfect.

I would add Ashley Force, Natalie Gulbis, Ashley Harkleroad, and pretty much anyone on The Big Picture's Would You Do? Athlete list.

As for what events she is targeting at the 2008 Olympics, she says "the 100 breaststroke, 200 breaststroke, and the 200 IM, and then be put on a relay."

Breaststroke... Yeah, I'll just let that settle in your mind for a little bit.

Oh yeah, SPORTSbyBROOKS HAS SFW PHOTOS OF AMANDA'S PLAYBOY SPREAD.
