RIP Sports Illustrated

I subscribed for over 30 years starting in 1984.  Stop getting them about 6-7 years ago.  Up until last year, I still had every issue boxed up in my basement.  started sorting through them and only keeping ones with IU covers or covers of one of the greats (Bird, MJ, Peyton, Brady, Manning, Tiger, etc.).

Didn't somebody uncover that their current content is written by AI anyways? Or at least, a portion of it. 

I think I subscribed for a good 20ish years but canceled it quite a while ago.

As great as Vic, Cody, Isiah and Damon looked on the cover, Tyra definitely has them beat.

For my taste, SI fell off the rails in the early 2000s.  I remember switching to Sporting News. They didn’t last too long. Then it was internet sources, no more magazines.

The Sporting News was my jam back in the day. Like in the late 80's and 90's.

I have SI's website as favorite I always have along with Sporting News. I look at them every once in awhile.

I absolutely loved The Sporting News back in the late 70's, through the 80's, and most of the 90's.  I recall when they would put a week's worth of MLB boxscores in the magazine.  It aso did a great job with College Basketball.  I preferred it over SI as well.

I was a wannabe motor head, I subscribed to AutoWeek back in the 70’s

Does this mean that the swimsuit issue was all AI? 😂😂😂

I'm assuming this includes their website?

When a so called Sports magazine promotes unhealthy looking people as role models what do they expect?!
