As a kid in the 80's and early 90's SI was a weekly staple for me. Loved that magazine.

Didn't often agree, but liked to read Frank DeFord, and see if Clemson was mentioned anywhere.

When kids began hold a pencil like it was a hammer, I began to take notice. It's called dumbing down society.

I don't care to see a bunch of porkas in a swimsuit. But I'm an old person (with a few phobias).

I can’t even stand newspapers online . . . There’s a lot to be said for having the “print in hand” . . . same with magazines and books for that matter.
Yes . . . I am old and sound more like my Aunt Sally in Roswell every day . . .

comprehend, recall, and connect than anything viewed online, even the same content.
Anything involving video screens to relay content consumes a fair portion of a person's mental faculties to simply form the picture they're accessing. It busies up the mind's logical side that is having to assemble all of the millions of pixels into a cohesive image - remembering where a pixel was and projecting where it will be next, millions of times over, just to access. Print, however, is set and fixed, relieving much brain processing in that logical realm to focus on the actual meaning of what's being shared.
This is how people zone out in front of a TV or spend countless hours in front of a computer - despite their intentions to do so. The logical side that would be free to say 'get the #### up and go do something worthwhile' is busy simply allowing you to form the image you're seeing. The crisper the image, the more pixels involved - the more consumed one's logical side gets.
Go Humanity!

I totally agree with Skeeta. I subscribed to SI for over 40 years and anticipated each issues arrival in my mailbox from my teens to my late 50s. Unfortunately in the last decade, SI has had a content problem. The issues shrunk in page numbers, shrunk in articles while increasing advertisements.
The internet has made us suffer some negative consequences.
I'll always have my memories of the once great Sports Illustrated, especially the Clemson covers and the swimsuit issues.

I agree 100% with Skeeta. Some people will never get the enjoyment of walking outside at dawn in your birthday suit and picking up the newspaper. Some of us retirees get shocked when the sun peeps up now.

I remember that my father had a SI subscription for years during the 1950s, and I read those issues from front to back. I remember a story about Coach Frank Howard, and I wish I could remember more of it. I do remember some of the article.
Maryland's HC was Tom Nugent, and he was maybe the one coach of the era that Coach Howard didn't like. The author told Coach Howard something like, "Some people say that you don't like Coach Nugent because you were the only colorful ACC coach before he came to Maryland."
Coach Howard's response was, "Wuz, what you mean wuz? I'm still the only colorful ACC coach. The only colorful thing about Nugent is that he must wear colorful underwear."
The author jumped on that and asked Coach Howard how he knew about the color of Nugent's underwear. Coach admitted that he had never seen Nugent's underwear, but he wore the most colorful shirts he had ever seen at coaches' meetings, and he changed shirts several times a day. From that, he surmised that Nugent must wear colorful underwear too.
I also remember an article in December, 1958 that covered bowl teams. It's title was something like, "Big and fast National Champion LSU to play big and slow Clemson in Sugar Bowl." Back then, NCs were named prior to bowl games. The article went on to tell about what would be biggest mismatch in bowl history.
It turned out to be an evenly matched game that LSU won 7-0 after Clemson had a bad punt snap near its goal line.
