At least someone called them out on it. Way too late of course.

Peter King left SI a few years ago. He is now employed by another liberal cesspool, NBC.


Dammit, I didn’t know that. Since NBC edited out Stroud opening his postgame interview by thanking Jesus Christ, they can die, too.

I do appreciate SI for giving us the Geauxt cover as it now hangs up in my office.

I've been receiving SI in the mail for 10 years+ now without ever spending a dime on them.


I got an email over the summer asking if I wanted SI for a year for free. All I had to do was give them my address, no payment info.

You’re right about that Burrow cover. I had it done on canvas, and it hangs in my den.

Missed a payment. That’s what the article said. Has nothing to do with being organized. The scandal where the ceo allowed pictures and articles under fake names written by AI was a major problem.

When the hell was the last time you jerked off to a magazine?

Pretty sure something else killed SI's swimsuit relevancy about twenty years ago, and it wasn't big girls.

I feel like these stunts by brands like Sports Illustrated are done BECAUSE they’re failing… not the cause of it.

It’s a desperation move. Like how Playboy put a tranny in an issue and it generated headlines. Playboy had been already going downhill and on its way out years.

The reason companies go broke after going woke is because they were already going broke anyway.

SI never really adapted to the internet and let other sports websites pass it up.
Yep. I wanted them to become basically what The Athletic is now. Instead they turned into Blockbuster.
