Stop the presses: Magazine ditches cover after Aldon Smith’s arrest

The 49ers had a lot invested in Aldon Smith staying out of more trouble, but they weren’t alone: So did San Francisco Magazine.

On Friday, after Smith’s latest arrest and his subsequent release from the team, the publication’s panicking editor-in-chief, Jon Steinberg, took to Twitter and revealed the two covers that were under consideration for the September issue.

Yep, Smith was set to be the cover man (One headline cover: “Aldon Smith Is Misunderstood.”)

These were the #AldonSmith covers @sanfranmag was considering this morning. Back to the drawing board!
