It definitely was a little surprising, but like it was said above, I never subscribed and never knew anyone who did. I'm not 100% sure that it's totally dead, but that AI scandal that was revealed last month was ridiculous and probably the final nail in the coffin. When I was a college journalist, my sports editor at the school paper later went on to be a longtime respected editor and writer for SI, so I'm sure he's bummed.

I only subscribed for one year when I was in high school. I think it was something like 52 issues for $15.99 back in the early 80's. My decision to subscribe was heavily influenced by Christie Brinkley lol.
Now, I only buy single issues as collectibles if there is a Steelers or Pirates player on the cover. I probably have more than 50 different issues now dating back to the early 70's.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”
