It should always be the first link that looks like this:

<div id="ecomthumb_latest_11541"></div>

Is it possible to do a "two-step" process like this?

Yes.
Do something like:

INDEX2 = 'http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/cover/home/index.htm'

followed by changing

soup = self.index_to_soup(self.INDEX)

to

soup = self.index_to_soup(self.INDEX2)

in parse_index
Than change

        cover = soup.find('div', attrs = {'alt' : 'Read All Articles', 'style' : 'vertical-align:bottom;'})
        if cover:
            currentIssue = cover.parent['href']

to whatever is needed to produce the currentIssue.
