ESPN The Magazine "Body Issue" photo gallery

And Nick Mangold's sister

 

Given her pre-Olympic buzz and the fact that an ESPN.com writer referred to her as "beautiful" (apparently with a straight face) earlier this year, you'd think she'd have been a natural. Maybe she turned it down ...

 

Would have been a much better cover compared to Daniela Hottuchova.

 

I got the chick with the pink hand wraps and the serious wax job. Not my thing but I'm sure it will be prominent on more than a few dorm room walls.

Loved the piece on sex in the Olympic village. Just do it.

 

I had seen a few of the pictures and thought they were pretty cool. In an artistic way, of course. So based on the above I thought, as a female who rides horses, I bet I'll like that Mike Smith photo. I don't care how how much I love horses or what his body looks like, that picture was too weird in a very awful way. And I couldn't even see how whether he could be favorably compared to a horse.

 

Gonna be some beautiful Olympic babies.

 

If that cover is the same photo used on the inside it appears that the carpet does not match the drapes used in the background.

 

No carpet. Tile.

 

I haven't been a teenager since the late 90s and I wish Hope Solo was my neighbor

Loving horses is fine, as long as it's more in a National Velvet way and less in an Equus way.

Anyhoo, a yearly stunt. Yawwwn.

 

This issue would have been much cooler if they had posed the athletes in various scenes from 50 Shades.
