Summer has arrived and millions of beautiful women are soaking up the sun at beaches and parks. These beauties are out frolicking along sidewalks and taking aimless walks in skimpy dresses and heavy makeup.

It’s a wonderful time of year for the average man to enjoy the scenery, but gamblers and sports freaks are far from average.
 
We don’t care if it’s a bright sunny day. If we have action on an afternoon game, we grab the extension cord and put the TV on the back deck - the only chance we have of seeing a woman is if the pizza delivery driver happens to be a female.
 
So as a tribute to all my boys who are sacrificing the panoramic views of summer for the love of the game, I offer you the hottest women of Canadian sports broadcasting.
 
I have chosen 12 of what I believe to be the finest women in the industry and will be facing them off against each other over the next week or two, and with your help we will crown one of these anchors the queen.
 
So starting with these two lovely ladies please answer me one simple question...WHO IS THE BETTER MOUTHPIECE?

Check out the other first-round matchups: Hedger vs. Paquette and Gaillard vs. Beirness

Round 1 matchup: Sara Orlesky vs. Laura Diakun


Sara "The Meat Gazer" Orlesky

Birth year: 1980
Born: Winnipeg, Manitoba

Sara is a consummate professional who has the type of innocent beauty that can attract stalkers of all shapes, sizes and sanity levels. Her beautiful blonde hair and model-like facial features remind me of a shorter version of Howard Stern's wife, Beth Ostrosky.
 
She started at TSN in 2008 and specialized in CFL coverage. She is a permanent fixture in the locker room after the games, performing her postgame wrap-ups. Needless to say, Sara has had her fair share of "any given Sunday" moments while waiting outside the showers with her microphone.

But with a body like hers, she is obviously no stranger to male genitalia.

Laura "Sputnik" Diakun

Birthdate: Unknown. Upper 20s?
Born: Toronto, Ontario

Laura is an ambitious up-and-comer who has worked at The Score network since 2004. Her stunning sex appeal is enough to stop even the chronic channel surfer dead his tracks.  
 
Although she may look like a brainwashed Russian mail order bride, don't let her emotionless, cold, blank stare fool you. She is a fountain of sports knowledge.

When she's not in front of the camera we can find her behind the microphone. She has been blessed with a sultry voice that would make any phone sex operator green with envy, which she uses to host an all-female sports show on satellite radio.

So, who advances to the next round: Orlesky or Diakun?
