ESPN: The Magazine's Body Issue will hit newstands tomorrow, July 11, but we've already got a sneak peak of the cover, which features New England Patriots tight end and professional party monster Rob Gronkowski. And yes, he's completely as God made him: jacked up on supplements.
Just kidding! He's naked, with a strategically placed black circle covering his genitals, which I can only assume are completely waxed. The Body Issue is ESPN: The Magazine's less misogynistic answer to Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Issue, so it's predictably less popular. Still, each year it gets better and better, and the current lineup looks pretty promising.
