- ethanator1088, on 06/11/2009, -0/+22"Tastefully Done Of Course"
- Gndoab, on 06/11/2009, -0/+20so long as the issue is entirely about female tennis players, I say go for it.
- janinekahn, on 06/11/2009, -0/+17Well that's one way to sell a magazine.
- FirstCuts, on 06/11/2009, -0/+13I know there are a lot of people that fans will WANT to see in this issue, but I wonder who will actually be willing? The good thing is there are always athletes who want attention, so I'm sure they'll have willing participants. Alicia Sacramone? Lots of tennis players?
- woodyex1, on 06/11/2009, -1/+12Two words: Maria Sharapova
/Moar Sauce - Fhwqhgads, on 06/11/2009, -0/+11If you're gonna cover up the good stuff why bother?
- GorfTron, on 06/11/2009, -0/+9Great idea! Are you listening AARP magazine????
- FirstCuts, on 06/11/2009, -0/+8Keep in mind, it's no clothes, not nude. (Yes, there's a difference.) They said they're going to use like sports equipment and stuff to cover up all the naughty parts, so they're not going all Playboy/Playgirl for an issue. Heck, SI has those body paint sections that essentially leave nothing to the imagination.
- pocketjacks, on 06/11/2009, -1/+9Charles Barkley
- vism, on 06/11/2009, -0/+8turrible
- trer, on 06/11/2009, -0/+7Danica Patrick, Maria Sharapova and Michelle Wie please. As tasteless as possible.
- spaceageminds, on 06/11/2009, -2/+9Come on people think about this? It would be a bad move because ESPN's market base is all (mostly) men and I'm pretty sure those same men wouldn't want to see, for example, the 2009 NBA Champions nude. I know what your saying it could be all (mostly) women but in that case it couldn't be "Tastefully Done" because a Magazine dedicated to sports would be exploiting women for profit.
Shut up, I know SI does a "Swimsuit Edition" but they don't take it to that high of a degree (all nude). - briLo, on 06/11/2009, -0/+6I'll only say it once.
ARE YOU OUTTA YOUR ***** MIND?!??!?!??!?!?!??!?! - bjs3171, on 06/11/2009, -0/+6anna kournikova
- Lanze, on 06/11/2009, -0/+5as long as Dennis Rodman isn't naked holding basketballs in front of his nuts again....
- vbullinger, on 06/11/2009, -0/+5Yeah, that did sound gay. Probably because you're a flaming homosexual.
- bufiji07, on 06/11/2009, -0/+5Amanda Beard?
- DirtPile, on 06/11/2009, -1/+6The Fridge.
- inactive, on 06/11/2009, -0/+5Suzi Kobler & Joe Namath.
- aLuckyStar, on 06/11/2009, -2/+6I don't think ESPN should try and steal Playboy's market... its just not right.
- davdev, on 06/11/2009, -0/+4How come I have a feeling my self esteem will tumble when I see a naked shaq in the centerfold. Dude probably needs a full page pullout section
- inactive, on 06/11/2009, -0/+4I nominate Candice Parker.
- guruboyguru, on 06/11/2009, -1/+4Sounds pretty good to me. I'll buy anything with Kevin Garnett and Stephon Marbury naked.
- danthepiercer, on 06/11/2009, -0/+3you people do realize that there are like 6 maybe 7 hot professional athletes, right?
unless you're gay... in which case, good for you, this is one of those times where its great to be gay.
personally, i'd be willing to look at Shaq naked on the cover of this magazine...but only if Danica Patrick was the centerfold and Larry Flynt was the guest editor! - jgasm, on 06/11/2009, -0/+3"for example, the 2009 NBA Champions nude"
why stop there ;o) - soccerman90, on 06/11/2009, -0/+3they need to look at their target market
- inactive, on 06/11/2009, -0/+3Gina Carano and all the UFC ring girls except the one that looks like a horse.
- jgasm, on 06/11/2009, -0/+3i don't understand why everyone keeps saying "look at their target market"
their goal is get as many people buying issues as possible in order to sell advertising. numbers are the important part.
if this gets coverage and people are picking up the ESPN from the news shelves then they are achieving their goal. - jba68, on 06/11/2009, -0/+3Who reads ESPN Magazine anyways. I guess anything to get your subscriptions up...
- ShooterMcGavin, on 06/11/2009, -0/+3Paula Creamer and Natalie Gulbis?
- efreeman, on 06/11/2009, -0/+3I think it's actually likely that the photos in this one will be less risque than most of the photos in the SI swimsuit issue.
- Probatus, on 06/11/2009, -0/+3What is the point of having nude and tasteful? Just my view of course.
- bonk2k, on 06/11/2009, -0/+3Anything is possible.
- NaviGATR, on 06/11/2009, -3/+6Well that's one way NOT to sell a magazine!
- inactive, on 06/11/2009, -0/+3Works for me. (The women, anyway.)
- orsonswindle, on 06/11/2009, -0/+2I'll buy it as long as they promise no bloggers, please, in the pictorials.
- sh1tman, on 06/11/2009, -0/+2I would have replied sooner, but it took a very long time to click on all those links! Great stuff though!
- vanguardanon, on 06/11/2009, -1/+3Hot women of course. Also, and I realize this will sound gay, hockey players. It's not that I want to see their private parts but I'm curious what their bodies look like. In every other sport you can get a pretty good idea of what kind of physic they have but hockey players wear big pads over long sleeve sweaters. I bet they are in great shape and you really can't tell. I also bet that some goalies are kind of chunky but I'm not sure. Let's see them.
- Druid72, on 06/11/2009, -0/+2Oh You!
- bholub, on 06/11/2009, -0/+2Joe Namath and Chat Pennington.... "HE'S A CLASSY, QUALITY QUARTERBACK.... I wanna kiss you."
- abran1984, on 06/11/2009, -0/+1Oh God I busted up laughing at that. I heard he's actually got a teeny peeny
- ZenMojo, on 06/11/2009, -0/+1Alicia Sacramone? Who's that?
*7|-|3 600613*
*and...drool*
Oh. She's THAT. - seroevo, on 06/12/2009, -0/+1While talking about the possibility of doing it gets the magazine some publicity, actually doing it would kind of miss the point.
After all, the -point- of the Swimsuit Issue is the chicks, not the fashion. The point of Playboy is the nudity. The point of an ESPN "nude" issue... well, I'm not really sure what the point is beyond a publicity stunt. - Halsfield, on 06/11/2009, -0/+1natalie gulbis I agree on, creamer is definitely cute too.
- davdev, on 06/11/2009, -0/+1Dude's 7'4 and has a size 22 foot, I would doubt that would be one undersized appendage.
All I have to say is I would never even attempt to bed his ex wife. - Calcularius, on 06/12/2009, -0/+1too late

- firesights, on 06/12/2009, -0/+1THE GOGGLES... THEY DO NOTHING.
- Wakkyweed, on 06/11/2009, -0/+1What about Babe Didrikson, the greatest female athlete of all time?
Oh wait, she's dead. Still, it might be interesting to see her naked. -
