I first got introduced to Sports illustrated when I was 10 or 11 years old. A neighbor who had been subscribed for years gave me his collection. I immediately started reading all the football articles.

Good times...

Many teenage males start with the swimsuit issue… or so I’ve heard.

I don't even remember when I first read Sports Illustrated. Not that I didn't read it, but the only issue that I went out of my way to see was the swimsuit issue. 

I used to look at Jet Magazine also. The first page I would go to was the Jet beauty of the week. 

Testosterone!

Honestly though, when I was a little kid, Reader's Digest was a favorite, as well as National Geographic. But, When I began to make an allowance (probably about nine), the only magazines that I used to buy were Mad Magazine and Cracked! Those were the good ol' days.

Yeah, I wasn't familiar with it. But then as I was looking through the collection I found my first one. I think it was Cheryl Tiegs on the cover.

My response, of course, was "WHOA! WHAT'S THIS?" 😄

They are $110 million in debt and missed a $3 million interest payment 2 weeks ago.

They’re not coming back.

They might still come back, if someone is willing to pay the licensing fee for the name. No idea who owns the legacy content, but there is some value there too.

There's a market for smart sports reporting. Unfortunately for SI, that role is currently filled by The Athletic

    • With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.
    • Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.
    • Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
