ESPN THE MAGAZINE debuted its “Body Issue” in October of 2009, perhaps to rival the SI “Swimsuit Issue.”
The issue features professional athletes in little to no clothing showing off their chiseled bodies.
Each issue has had several covers, and ESPN has featured a variety of athletes.
ESPN released some of the athletes names posing for this year’s magazine which will hit shelves on 13 July. Among the models are Rob Gronkowski, Candace Parker and Abby Wambach.
Here’s some covers from past Body Issues…
NASCAR driver Carl Edwards was on one of the 2009 covers
NFL star Adrian Peterson posed for a 2009 cover
Sarah Reinertsen was the first amputee to compete in the Ironman Triathlon and was also on the 2009 cover

Looking forward to this game. Two outstanding gaelic football counties playing one another. Hopefully it will be a great game with two talented teams just playing high quality, skilful football without any cynical or dirty fouls or anything like that.
Would love to know where this rumour came from!? Absolute rubbish. He’ll be there to lead the lads out Sunday week. Should be a great game.
