The best high school hoopster since LeBron James? That’s some high praise from Sports Illustrated.

After two straight weeks of Jeremy Lin covers, Sports Illustrated still manages to reference him in this week’s cover headline.
Kate Upton is your cover model for the Sports Illustrated 2012 Swimsuit Issue.
The arrival of this magazine used to be the highlight of my winter. Then adulthood and the Internet happened.
Sports Illustrated picks up an old routine from Dr. Z and ranks all the NFL’s announcing teams. The best, according to Chris Burke, are Brad Nessler and Mike Mayock of the league’s own NFL Network.
They’re pictured above with sideline reporter Alex Flanagan.
I used to love when Dr. Z would skewer ESPN’s buffoonish Sunday night team of Mike Patrick, Joe Theismann and Paul Maguire, awarding them annually either zero stars or a half-star.
Excellent cover photo. Does a great job of illustrating the theme of the game, a swarming Alabama defense.
Not in love with the headline, though. Can pretty much write that for any winning team, no?

I own this 50-year-old issue of Sports Illustrated — I think I paid $25 on eBay many years ago — and it remains one of my favorite collectibles.
Always loved the cover shot, with Roger Maris’ arms (and even his face) illustrating that no ounce of power was left behind. No headline accompanies what was obviously the biggest sports story of 1961. Maris hit No. 61 at home, and he’s wearing a road jersey here, so the cover photo isn’t a pic of the actual record-breaking home run, which was hit on Oct. 1, 1961 at Yankee Stadium.
