Go behind the scenes with SN

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

As Wednesday unfolds, we’ll show you what goes on behind the scenes as SportsNation (4 p.m. ET, ESPN2) prepares to introduce the winner of the EA Sports Madden 12 cover voting.

See how co-hosts Colin Cowherd and Michelle Beadle and the rest of the SportsNation staff construct the show before the big announcement.

Will it be Philadelphia Eagles QB Michael Vick or Cleveland Browns RB Peyton Hillis? Both NFL stars are on our Bristol campus and you’ll get to see them as they meet with the SportsNation staff.

But are they the only candidates?

Above, Beadle makes a pitch for the coveted cover. Don’t forget to vote.
