To get things back on track and build off the Mount Rushmore theme. Best cover(s) ever?
This one has stuck in my head for all these years since I got it out of my mail box at State in 1976. What a great picture and love the expressions of those in the stands/on the bench.
The photographs in SI were absolutely incredible.

I agree. That was a great one. This thread is a bummer. I used to love seeing all the amazing photos these sports photographers could get. Especially when they were using film and couldn’t take 8 pics per second.

As I think about it, it was the "high definition" of the times. Shots of the Triple Crown, Olympics, Masters, all of the team sports, etc. were just so sharp and with vivid colors you could never really get on your 32in console TV or in a newspaper.
Still photos have always been mesmerizing as you look at the details and imagine the scene in your own mind. Kinda like reading a book versus watching a movie.
Pretty sure it was SI that got the Phelps finger tip touch in Beijing. Saw an interview where the photographer had an idea to put a still camera in the bottom of the pool. Lots of stories from SI photographers and their ideas and sometimes good luck capturing some incredible shots.

Not a big horse racing guy but mentioned Triple Crown based on this as probably the second thing I think of concerning SI photography.

Imagine a world where just because you disagree with a person on some things, that doesn't mean you disagree with them on all things.
It's amazing to see that not all people who often align with one general approach to governance are not monolithic in all their views.


Whatll really blow your mind is that I didn't vote for Obama in '08 or '12 and I am not actually as liberal as many on here claim. I'm just not as far off on the right edge of things as many on here, so they think must surely be a socialist pedo groomer since those are the catch phrase words they consume most frequently in the media.
We get it, you turned dem when they started pushing the trans agenda.

Maybe it needs a new owner and editors who refocus the magazine to make it more progressive and enlightened. Hire some journalists who support social justice causes and know that their morals are not only different, but are superior to the average sports fan. It's move the dial time toward justice. For instance, celebrate trans women in sports, even at the high school level. For the Swimsuit Issue, until it's eliminated as retrograde and gross, let Americans know that beautiful women come in all sizes no matter their ages and shame Americans likely to shame women by including more women who look like Lizzo to ensure that in our more moral age that toxic masculinity isn't acceptable because all women slay and look stunning, especially those unlikely to have made it into an IMPP thread and those not likely to impress his successor, Hugh's Burner Phone.

No, you make those claims with your arguments against everything that falls right of center. I’ve never read a comment that led me to believe “that d!pshit may actually be a right-winger”, but those comments may be buried in your 4k word dissertations that I blow by.

Yeah it's pretty funny to me that he thinks he's fooling anyone.

If you're specifically talking about the swimsuit issue, reckon it had anything to do with the ubiquity of internet porn and particularly smartphones?

If you're talking SI generally, do you think it had anything to do with being obtained by venture capital and proceeding to run out shoddy AI-generated content?

Yep, I love the 1980s and 1990s. I was young then, were you? Virtually EVERYBODY fondly recalls the years they were young. In 40 years, Zoomers gonna be telling youngsters how dope the 2020s were.
General demise of print media.

i’m surprised goofy glfr hasn’t called you a bigot for not wanting to get with a trans. that is the latest narrative from the pedo party
Tell me you drink cult koolaid without telling me you drink cult koolaid. "pedos" "pizza parlor pedo ring" ....

your candidate actually being on flight manifest to pedo island (lots of times), professing a preference for young girls, once stating that he was more attracted to his tween daughter that to his wife, being a convicted rapist and multiple accused rapist, while attracting the same kind of sexual predators to his party, finally in the face of all the actual evidence given up on claiming he's innocent, now just claiming that a president should get to break any laws that he wants to, worships Hitler and praising all current world dictators while last week saying he plans to "be president for 4 years and longer"...

I'm still angry that not everyone drives the same care as I do or painted their house the same color as mine. Bunch of idiots!

You are talking about other people drinking coolaid while also claiming Trump was on the flight manifest to pedo island "lots of times". I'm sure you have an impeccable source for that and aren't just repeating something because you hate trump.

Same with him being a convicted rapist. That's certainly something that's obviously grounded in fact and not your fever dreams.

Definitely it's other people that are cultish and not you that is living with your own facts.

ETA: I don't particularly like Trump and wish he would lose or drop out of the primary, which obviously isn't going to happen, but I'm much more bothered by how people excuse any behavior on their part because of this orange boogeyman they have made up.
