Can you name the 7 athletes to simultaneously appear on the covers of Time, Newsweek, and SI? So far I only have one, and it's a horse.

so far we have 6:

Secretariat - June 11, 1973
Nadia Comaneci - August 2, 1976
Joe Montana - January 25, 1982
O.J. Simpson - June 27, 1994
Magic Johnson - February 12, 1996
Brandi Chastain - July 19, 1999

1 to go!

You'd have to figure Bonds is one.

well it looks like we have all of them now? D300 and edytwinky, how did you find those...with the actual dates? is there a list of their covers somewhere?

There are cover searches for Time (http://www.time.com/time/coversearch) and SI (http://dynamic.si.cnn.com/covers/search). But I couldn't find one for Newsweek. Checking Michael Phelps, he was on Time on Aug 9 but Joe Namath was on SI that week, so there's one athlete still missing.

Here's the exact dates for the other two already mentioned.

Brandi Chastain - July 19, 1999
Secretariat - June 11, 1973
