We’d just watched Kentucky upset Tennessee (yea, Southeastern Conference basketball – and, football!), then started watching SportsCenter. ESPN NFL analyst Ron “Jaws” Jaworski came on to report on New England quarterback Tom Brady’s ankle. Behind him were at least three framed covers from Sports Novels and Football Stories.
I could only date one: the cover just above his head. It features a teaser for “Pigskin Privateer,” by Burgess Leonard, which appeared in the Fall 1951 number of Football Stories.
I don’t often watch SportsCenter, so I’m not sure how long these pulps have decorated the set. Has anyone else noticed these gems before?
