Michael McCarthy of USA TODAY posts this extremely natural looking topless shot of Gina Carano for one of the six covers of ESPN THE MAGAZINE’s upcoming “The Body” Issue.
(A topless cover? Okay, that makes no sense)
Earlier today, I posted the Serena Williams fully-nude cover. That’s two of six covers. #3:
The other four covers: Adrian Peterson, Dwight Howard, NASCAR’s Carl Edwards and amputee triathlete Sarah Reinertsen:
Reinertsen, from her photos, looks like an absolute hoss (dayum!). It’s a no-brainer that her photo will be the most memorable of the half-dozen covers.
From looking at the Carano and Serena covers, I have to believe Danica Patrick is a little melancholy she didn’t participate. If she’d done a cover, I think it’s safe to assume it would’ve exploded of the newsstands.
Hit me back in 12 months.

photoshop does wonders…especially for Carano
her actual legs rival an Nfl running back’s

are you kidding me Caranos legs look typical for an athletic woman, but nothing near a running back. However after looking at Serena and seeing her in person her legs look like tree trunks

u would think the same if you have seen carano in person, trust me

That is an awesome artist’s rendition of Gina’s body! Look at her abs, they weren’t even like that before her last fight.

photoshop or not….carano is smokin
5:10 am on October 6th, 2009

If the Gina cover issue is published here in NYC, I’m buying two! Smokin’ is right!!
11:22 am on October 6th, 2009
She is banging and one of the best female fighters we got in the USA!!!

You need to do some more women for this cover heres a few that would be good to see on ur covers Danica patrick, candace parker, Shawn Johnson, Maria Sharapova, Jennie Finch. But over all you picked 2 of the top five hottest girls in womens sports to put on the covers so not bad.

I agree with Richie. I think that SportsbyBrooks has done an incomplete job choosing the cover subjects for ESPN magazine, with which they are not affiliated. The next time that this independent sports blog picks the athletes to put on a magazine run by a huge sports network (into which SbB has no editorial input), they should make better choices.

Gina looks incredible on that cover.
Serena looks frightening.

From looking at the Carano and Serena covers, I have to believe Danica Patrick is a little melancholy she didn’t participate.

ESPN did not ask Danica Patrick, who appears elsewhere in the issue’s regular sports coverage. But she could appear in the future. “She’s going to be racing for a while. We’ll be doing this issue every year. So I’m sure we’ll get to her at some point.”

I don’t care…both Gina and Serena are FINE!
11:06 pm on October 6th, 2009
What about the girl with the MONSTER TENNIS BOOBS? Before she had the reduction, of course. Serena is smokin too. Gina is a hottie, but she definitely does not have abs like that. She is a little soft in the middle, but there aint NOTHIN wrong with that. She has a cuter face than Serena, but not close to the boobs, and nowhere near the BOOTAY!!!

Chicks that look like cyborgs r hot…and im not talkin bout carrano im talkin bout Reinertsen.

ESPN mag needs to go away.

I think Gina is smokin and the picture is amazing, but there is something wrong with it. Her head looks way to big for her body and have never noticed that on her before. Otherwise the abs could be real, if you look close it’s not a six pack, more like a one pack. But her obliques are obviously rock hard and that defines her entire abdomen, which isn’t fat even though it’s not a sixer

Gina looks like a nasty blood thirsty witch….
Serena looks very hot n sexy…..No doubt…
12:13 am on October 13th, 2009
Love the Carano cover.
8:20 am on October 22nd, 2009
They were loud, rude, ill mannered, lazy and stupid. ,
12:11 am on October 23rd, 2009
Gina is one of my favourite girls. I just love all her interviews, and the seem so peaceful, yet she is so angry in the ring. Of all the women athletes, she would be my no 1 to hang out with.
Just look at that body again, its so beautiful and sexy, yet it can be classified as a lethal weapon.

ESPN now means:

Thanks gina and espn!!! you just put womensMMA back another 10 years….. MMA womens fighting is just gonna turn into foxy boxing!!! where is cyborg?? didn’t she just beat the living crap outa gina? where is her pic? oh yeh I forgot she isn’t hot. very sad that Gina goes along with this bull she should get outa the magizines with her cloths off and back into the ring with her cloths on. I would respect her waaay more:) but they majority of MMA fans are men and I guess showing your tits gets you fan base…
