Sports Illustrated cover gaffes

[TripletDaddy]

SteelBlue's reference to the McNair Heisman cover got me thinking. How many times has the SI cover completely been wrong or blown it?

Here is one that I remember. I will admit that I thought that having this guy was actually going to help the Lakers. A few weeks later, he was off the team.

The caption says it all.

Whats the deal with this one? Mauer is a stud, not the best catcher ever or close but at least its not a Mandarich like statement.

Yes, it's not Mandarich like, but the caption that he has the tools to be the best catcher ever is too over the top for me. He's a very good catcher, but he is no Johnny Bench.

Of course, he's a lot better than I ever was, so it may just be envy on my part.

I have a feeling I'm going to feel really stupid when it's explained to me, but what is the deal with this one? (besides the picture)

Didn't Georgetown have a great team in 84-85? Is it because of the loss to Nova in the final? If that's the case, I guess I get it, but they did make it to the NCAA Championship game.

Ann J. Simonton is a writer, lecturer and feminist media activist. She founded and coordinates the non-profit group "Media Watch",[1] which challenges racism, sexism, and violence in the media through education and action. Simonton's autobiographical writings have been published by Harper & Row in I Never Told Anyone and Her Wits About Her. She wrote and produced two educational videos that have garnered national acclaim; One of them, "Don't Be a TV: Television Victim," received the Silver Apple Award from the National Educational Video and Film Festival.

Simonton has been arrested and jailed 11 times for committing acts of non-violent civil disobedience. In the 1980s, she and her "Praying Mantis Brigade" led the "Myth California" protests, a series of counter-pageants which disrupted the Miss California pageant in Santa Cruz, California, protesting "the objectification of women and the glorification of the beauty myth."[2] The protests garnered international attention, and were partially responsible for the Miss California pageant eventually relocating from Santa Cruz.

Simonton lectures nationally on university campuses with a presentation entitled "Sex, Power and the Media." She has been a guest on Dr. Phil, The Oprah Winfrey Show, Larry King Live, Entertainment Tonight and CNN's Crossfire.

She worked as a Ford fashion model in the 1970s.


I think this wins.

Yep, that's it.

They had an inexcusable loss to Villanova.

Besides, I believe Seattle Ute was at Georgetown when this happened too.

I thought about the possibility that you were taking a shot at SU with that one. Makes perfect sense now.
