ESPN the Magazine : Body Issue Preview

6 different covers that feature Adrian Peterson, Dwight Howard, Serena Williams, Gina Carano, Carl Edwards, and Sarah Reinertsen will be on newsstands October 9th. The only complaint I have is that none of the men are fully nude. Whazup with that??? I mean if the women can take it all off, why can't the men? Either way, take a peek inside the issue with the pictures below... plenty of eye candy for the sistas as well as the brothas.

So you know your girl did some more digging and guess what I found...some guys that took it all off for the issue. Now I have to go pick this issue up and you should too to see what other goodies they are hiding!

Sidenote : I'm still kinda salty that Dwight Howard & Adrian Peterson didn't take it all off though. HMPF!
