Behind The Scenes

Day In The Life: SportsNation

Our friends at SportsNation invited ESPN Front Row photographer Joe Faraoni inside to track the show throughout the day in photos.

This “Day In The Life” glimpse at how the show operates centered upon the unveiling of the winner of EA Sports Madden 12 cover voting. After about 13 million votes were cast, Peyton Hillis edged Michael Vick.
