Unfortunately SI has been irrelevant for years. Used to look forward to the weekly issue arriving each Thursday.
I didn't even realize they still had employees. Most of their articles are written by bots
In this case it was ruined long before that. That was just life support.The private equity ghouls simply love ruining good things
There was an issue where the character Buzz something-or-other used the subscribers name as the 'greatest athlete ever'. That blew my mind. I loved those perforated cardboard cards as well.I used to love getting SI for kids issues when I was a kid. I had honestly forgotten they exist.

Got in for a minute against Duke in 99. Can't take that away from himHe made up for it by not missing a shot at Ted's and Huskies.
He was so hyped out of high school. I think he was a 4-star recruit and we stole him away from Georgetown (which actually meant something back then). I think he had more suspensions than starts at UConn.
