5 out of 5: SI is still the best!
G. Reid, January 13, 2005

Always a can't-miss gift for sports fans and fun to enjoy for yourself, Sports Illustrated is still the most comprehensive sports mag on the market. With coverage from the most popular sports like football and basketball to the X-Games, there's something for everyone. The Olympic issues are not to be missed, and of course the guys love the annual swimsuit issue. If you can't watch on tv, read about it in print with SI. Subscription rates are quite reasonable and a big savings as opposed to buying off the rack, even if you DON'T read every single issue that comes out.
 

5 out of 5: excellent writing

SI is a classic of American Journalism and sports writing. The writing is top notch, provocative, informative, opinionated, and always worth reading. It does show an east coast bias. But its always worth reading.

5 out of 5: The #1 Sports Magazine
George Fisher, June 10, 2004

Sports Illustrated remains the best sports magazine on the market today. I have been a subscriber off and on since I was a kid, and have been a current subscriber for three years.
Sports Illustrated has excellent feature stories and profiles of teams and athletes. They do a superb job of covering the major sporting events and major sports. It also keeps the reader abreast of developments in a large numbers of sports. And it frequently has longer features that focus on everything from sports history, important current sports issues (such as steroid use), and profiles of more obscure sports.
If you are going to subscribe to a sports magazine, this is the one to go with.

5 out of 5: The winner and still champion
gb "the_bassist", October 23, 2004

SI has been around for fifty years and has only gotten better with age. The writing is still top notch and the pictures are breathtaking. Quite simply SI is journalism at its finest.

Sports Illustrated is pretty simple. It's a weekly magazine that covers the biggest events in sports. They recap highlights from the previous week and they preview things that are coming up. They really only do the big four sports in the U.S.A., but if something is drawing HEADLINES they will tell you. They have always been great about doing that. They don't mention a lot about smaller sports unless its during something like the Olympics.
The pictures are great in Sports Ill. I'm not sure if all of there pictures come from there Photographers, but they have the best shots out there. You can be guaranteed to get the best photos from the biggest events with Sports Ill.
One of the best reasons to get Sports Ill is because of Rick Reily. His column is on the last page of every issue and is one of the best weekly columns in the world. His column is ever changing because he writes about everything. He writes with a lot of passion and emotion. He is simply fantastic as are almost all of the writers that write for Sports Ill.
If you love sports and want to read about them weekly then you must pick this up. There has been a subscription for more than 15 years between me and my father and we absolutely love it. No other weekly magazine comes close to offering you what Sports Illustrated does. If your a big sports fan subscribe to this now, you will not regret it.
