Derek Jeter and Hannah Davis celebrate her SI Swimsuit cover together: Report

For all you yahoos wondering if Hannah Davis’ sexy Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover meant the stunning model was somehow moving on from boyfriend Derek Jeter — dream on.

Davis may be showing off the goods, but she and the former Yankees captain were spotted celebrating her controversial cover together at the Manhattan hot spot,  Hunt & Fish Club, on Saturday night.

Via Page Six of the N.Y. Post:

We’re told the couple entered the restaurant separately, then were joined by a small group of friends and family inside.

Despite the drama surrounding Davis’ risqué cover shot, one impressed spy exclaimed: “Hannah is breathtakingly beautiful. Even dressed in jeans and a sweater, she had the dining room buzzing. While men were talking about Hannah, the women were excited to get a glimpse of ‘Captain Clutch.’”

Davis has defended the SI image that shows her pulling her bikini down low, saying, “I think . . . it’s the year of the torso.”

And, in case you miss old No. 2, Jeter will also be in the spotlight this weekend. He is scheduled to join Peyton Manning as the designated athletes among the hosts appearing on a special broadcast celebrating the 40th anniversary of "Saturday Night Live."

Remember. Retired or not, he’s still Derek Jeter.

Doug McDermott recreates classic Larry Bird SI cover (PHOTO)

It's easy to compare Doug McDermott's blue collar game to Larry Bird's, but this inspired idea from Sports Illustrated is on the spot.

This week's magazine features probable Player of the Year McDermott striking the same pose as Bird, flanked by two hushed cheerleaders (in this case Bluejays dancers Kelsey Saddoris and Kayleigh Begley), that graced the cover on Nov. 28, 1977.

McDermott and 14th-ranked Creighton are the No. 2 seed in this week's Big East tournament, which gets underway Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden. The Bluejays will play the winner of Georgetown-DePaul at 7 p.m. on Thursday.

Dennis Rodman being trailed for Sports Illustrated cover

Dennis Rodman is being shadowed for a potential Sports Illustrated cover story after his well publicized trip to North Korea put America's most colorful, self-named ambassador back in the public eye, reports The New York Post.

Rodman will pose for an SI shoot that will be a riff on his infamous May 1995 cover in black hot pants, a bustier and a dog collar and holding an exotic parrot, according to Page Six. 

"The piece will be about how he’s still relevant and an original," a sports spy told the gossip site.

Coincidentally, the SI crew will be shadowing the former NBA star the night Rodman celebrates his 52nd birthday at his favorite Manhattan strip club Cheetahs on Monday.

The "no holds barred" Cheetahs party is expected to involve topless dancers, sushi served on naked bodies and giveaway thongs that read: "Make Love Not War."

Not a bad night's work following The Worm. It sounds pretty diplomatic to me.

Sports Illustrated doesn't stop the Linsanity

For the second week in a row, Jeremy Lin will grace the cover of Sports Illustrated— the first New York athlete to ever achieve that honor.

Joe Namath, Derek Jeter or Eli Manning never did it.

It's hard to believe all of all the phenomenal New York sports stars who join those three champions on that  list: Mantle, Reed, Gooden, Rivera, Messier, L.T. and Ewing.

Now comes Lin with two covers during his three week old legacy.

The story of the undrafted benchwarmer, bouncing around the NBA, sleeping on his brother's couch and waiting for his shot has been played out to almost exhaustion.

Now the overachieving and humble Lin has an apartment at the Trump Tower in White Plains and is planning on renting a place in Manhattan's ritzy W Hotel— just for home games.

There are even odds on who he will be dating.  By the way Kim Kardashian is still the odds-on-favorite at 4-1 with Jennifer Aniston pulling up the rear at 25-1.
