I have been reading SI for over 10 years and I am simply addicted to it. Since I now work in Asia, it is not always easy to find its issuess on a timely manner, and ordering previous issues of SI has become a routine for me every once in a while. SI has the following 3 strengths which no other magazine can match: 1) Its pictures are always the best in terms of quality and creativity, 2) Its team of writers (Tom Verducci, Phil Taylor, Frank Deford..)is the most professional and well connected that its articles are not just merely sports coverage, but profiles of athletes and the sports itself. Plus SI likes to follow athletes throughout their career so SI has very high collectible value, for example I have got the first SI article covering Tiger (make me so proud) 3) Its tradition, everybody knows the influence of an SI cover. Every sports fan should subscribe one, really.
Rating: - A great sports magazine
SI has a lot of really good features week after week. There are always intense action pictures of all sports, not just the major ones. For those who love sports, this is one of the best ones around for intersting commentary and pictures in every issue. I enjoy the facinating stories from off the field and how sports is a part of life.
Rating: - the cadillac of sports magazines
my grandmother gave me a subscription to SI when i was 9 years old and i've been getting it ever since (24 years). it's the one piece of literature i read cover-to-cover every week (no matter how bust i am). what i love most about it is the quality of writing. the special interest stories are interesting, thought-provoking, passionate, insightful, and without fear. some of the best stories i've ever read have come out of this magazine (the BC college hoops scandal and the greg lemond comeback story are two that come to mind). if you care about sports and the stories behind the athletes, this is the mag to get.
