At first I thought this would be an easy win for NATIONAL TREASURE, but when it came time to vote, I realized I liked GSELL THE MAN! more. It's a more dynamic cover, and I don't like when covers have the headline obscuring too much of the player, as we see in NATIONAL TREASURE. GSELL THE MAN! is, by the way, one of only two surviving New York Post covers. Half of their eggs are in this basket.

The Post's slender hopes of winning this competition are a little less slender this morning, as GSELL THE MAN! will advance to the third round. The elimination of NATIONAL TREASURE means that only one Jacob deGrom cover remains, Newsday's DEGROMINATION.
