ESPN announced this past June its printed property, ESPN The Magazine, would produce "The Body" issue. Male and female athletes would pose sans clothing (don't get too crazy, people, they'll be positioned, um, properly) in an effort to compete with Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit issue, which gets closer and closer to porn each year.
Thursday's Internet rumor of the day focused on Indy car driver Danica Patrick being among the athletes who posed for the October issue. It has been met with conflicting reports from all sides. All depends on what links Google serves up first when you search for it.
But we're not really concerned about any of that . . . yet. Call us in October and we'll meet you at the newsstand to discuss it.
Rather, let's talk about 1998. Who would have thought Disney would follow the advice of Kevin Garnett and Stephon Marbury. Crazy world we live in. Watch and see.
