Not quite the same but do many people remember when People Magazine named Elvis Grbac the Sexiest Athlete Alive?

Quote:
The section contained just two sentences. “Grbac was featured as People’s Sexiest Athlete in 1998. Sportswriter Jeff Pearlman claims this was because of a mistake by a photographer, told to photograph ‘the Chiefs quarterback,’ who accidentally photographed Grbac instead of the intended Rich Gannon.”

It's a good read if you have the Athletic.
