The NFL is done, spring training hasn’t started quite yet, March Madness is not till next month, and the NBA and NHL are still at least a 4-6 weeks away from any real playoff races. So you know what all this means: it’s time for Sports Illustrated to step in and fill the void in your life with their annual Swimsuit Issue.
The good folks over Sports Illustrated have been putting out their sexy Swimsuit Issue since 1964. This year’s cover, which features the unbelievably sexy Kate Upton, was unveiled on Monday night and hit newsstands on Valentine’s Day.
So how does this year’s cover compare to all the others? Well, we’ve got you covered there. Today, Total Pro Sports brings you all 49 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue covers, ranked in order of awesomeness. It was hard work, but someone had to do it.
