Phillies on SI Cover?

Joy in Mudville · 10-31-2008, 05:53 AM

With the Phillies winning the World Series on a Wednesday night, the question is do they get the SI cover next week?

Three years ago the same thing happened to the Chicago White Sox, breaking an 88-year title drought not a 28-year one. The White Sox didn't get the cover.

What happens this time around?

SI did make a special edition just for the White Sox so they may do the same thing for the Phillies if they don't put them on the regular magazine.

SI put the Sox on the cover!

There they are, waaaaaay up in the top right corner!

I can see it with the phrase PHAN-TASTIC PHILLIES in the headlines.

I am sure that they will be the cover story...

The Sporting News is a far better publication than SI...I haven't opened a SI cover in 20 years, so could care less. I actually glanced at a ESPN the magazine once...it is like a rag mag for sports, Sports Enquirer with glossy photos of Tom and Gisele, Romo and Jessica etc.

A shot in the upper-right hand corner isn't the cover to me.

I think the Sporting News is frickin awful.

Actually, I think they're *all* awful right now. Baseball America and Pro Football Weekly are about all I read anymore.

I agree. When was it decided that sports fans have the attention spans of 3 year olds?

Me, neither, and that was kind of my point.

For what it's worth, Scott Podsednik's walk-off against Lidge was on the previous week's cover.

BA landed on my awful list when they started asking for almost $100 a year for a subscription.

That's why I enjoy Barnes & Noble.

Albert Haynesworth is on the cover, with just a small bulb on the top about the chaos that was the '08 World Series.
