SI Sportsman of the Year

Morrissey should be embarrassed about that column.

If you're offended by the sex of that cover, you're too old and/or stuck in the mud.

 

LOL.

They do seem to be oddly trying to distance themselves from their own cover art.

Maybe she suggested it, but don't act like you weren't thrilled with the idea.

 

In fact, Djokovic is anything but boring, but the American public (other than tennis fans) won't know that, so your point stands.

 

FWIW, ME said on the radio yesterday it was Serena's idea, but SI had final say.

 

It is shocking. It must be the first time in magazines that a cover photo reflects a subject's participation and opinion instead of just a natural setting captured by the photographer.

I mean, I know a lot of movie stars walk through fields with their abs showing and Vanity Fair or GQ just happens to be there to get the shot.

 

It's outrageous!!!!

 

I really don't have an issue with it. But, SI did seem to be trying to distance themselves from it. Maybe that's just how I took it, but it seemed odd to me.

 

No, it didn't.

 

Eh, Phelps in a wet tux, Sosa and McGwire in togas...

 

Dan Patrick pointed out that SI really likes the throne prop.

 

How far were McGwire's legs spread?

 

Did they oil her legs for the cover shot?

"No, no, of course not. That's just the lighting."
