Beats any of that tripe on the cover of Sports Illustrated, hands down. I admire his form.

CARDIFF, Wales - Prince William has made his debut on the water polo squad of the Scottish national universities. But his efforts in the pool were not enough to save his team from defeat.
The squad lost both its games Saturday "” one to Wales and one to Ireland "” at the annual Celtic Nations tournament.
The 21-year-old prince, second in line to the British throne, attracted a crowd for his first public meet, earning a big cheer when he helped prevent Ireland from scoring at one point.
His form in the pool also won support from his opponents.
"He gave as good as he got was the word in the changing room after the game," said Welsh captain Oliver Newcombe, 22. "We didn't single him out for any special treatment. Water polo is a hard sport to play."
Uniformed and plain-clothes police were at the tournament at the Welsh Institute of Sport in Cardiff, south Wales, to protect the royal competitor.
The athletic William is team captain of the water polo team at St. Andrews University, Scotland, where he is studying geography.
