Anyone still Read/get SI?

bigtendominator · Mar 27, 2011

Saw the thread on Rick Reilly and was wondering if anyone still reads SI. I had subscription for 1 year and that was like in '88 or '89.

I remember it was expensive back then and now I would assume the price has gone up to almost $2 and issue and with the internet believe it is almost useless.

Dentists, doctors offices, etc.

I have gotten it for years, only because my mother in law buys it for me ever christmas, do not think I read it 10 times a year, give them to the kid next door

i still get it, but swear i'm not paying for it, as i have no clue where the hell they are billing it.

i like it, great reading material throughout the week while i take dumps.

certainly not what it used to be, i remember when it was beyond a big deal to make the cover.

I use FF points to stay subscribed... I read em the day they arrive, keep the ones I think might be "important" and recycle the rest. Its nice reading an actual magazine on occasion, as opposed to the internet.

I got the year when they were selling it with Madden Game. I was buying Madden anyway figure might as well get a free sub for it.

I like them for usually containing numerous great photo shots

Meanwhile, here's a blast from the distant past:

the fade-SI jinx. a strong play over the years.

cory snyder; a player that i'd completely forgotten about.

Cory Snyder is a good dude. His dad was a piece of work, though. It's amazing how quickly he fell off the face of the earth after the way he started his career.

Barry Bonds was also that small when he started out.

it's hard to imagine going from the SI cover to 101 losses in the same season.
