SI Scraps Last Supper Master Preview Cover Idea Out Of Respect For Golfweek's Noose Cover
/After all, there really is no competition at this point for lamest cover of 2008, is there?
Published reports indicating that Sports Illustrated is considering a cover or any visual treatment referencing Leonardo da Vinci's "Last Supper" for its Masters preview or any other issue of the magazine are totally inaccurate.
A related concept tied to the magazine's 50th Anniversary cover, which depicted sports greats as Leonardo might have painted them, was discussed among a small number of editors without my knowledge. The casting call in question was a mistake and should not have been posted. — Terry McDonell, Editor, Sports Illustrated Group
So the casting call was a prank?
I find it odd that SI even acknowledged the report.
