The better Sports Illustrated covers will be coming soon, but this can also serve as a great recap of the year in sports.
10. Foxborough Rising - Using Foxborough instead of New England made it seem so much better to me. But half of my Super Bowl prediction is so wrong.
9. Super Spurs - I'm glad I chose to have the team holding the trophy because when the Spurs won, it was truly a team effort.
8. A Giant, Royal Affair - A fun World Series is best expressed through mascots, which always make for a fun cover.
7. Michael Sam - None of the three players mentioned on this cover have done much in the NFL yet, but it still seems like a worthy cover for the NFL Draft.
6. Out of the Woods - You can never go wrong with a dramatic, almost-painted shot of a golfer on his backswing.
5. Dynasty! - I feel like this one is minimalist enough to perfectly capture what San Francisco was feeling when their beloved baseball team won the title. Again.
4. The Wright Guy - I'm a sucker for puns.
3. The Curious Case of Matthew Stafford - I love when the Lions play on Thanksgiving, so naturally the cover for it had to make the list.
2. Low-Key Sochi - For the Winter Olympics, I felt that a pretty awe-inspiring shot of a flipping snowboarder would do the Sochi games justice. I feel good about the cover.
1. Farewell, Jeter - The goodbye cover to the great had to make the list. Something so poignant about that number two.
#5 is my favorite of these, I believe.
