Every year, the magazine uses its NFL preview issue to highlight the game’s star quarterbacks, but this cover, featuring the Seattle Seahawks’ Russell Wilson (L) and his rival, San Francisco 49ers’ Colin Kaepernick, highlights oh so much more.

We’ll leave it to these guys to spell it out.

@LibbyPiller @SInow thanks for pointing that out. Now I'll have nightmares for weeks. He must really like Kaepernick shirtless.

@LibbyPiller @SInow excuse me while I go pour lighter fluid in my eyes and light them on fire.
