Amazon.com Review
The most recognized periodical of American sports, Sports Illustrated has proved to be a fine marriage of top journalism (from the likes of Frank Deford, Paul Zimmerman, and Rick Reilly) and eye-popping photography since 1954. Cover stories range from the week's top games to a retrospective of the legends of yesteryear and their imprint on today's competition. In each issue, "Inside the Week in Sports" keeps the fan in touch with the major sports news, while "Scorecard" offers SI's spin on the week. Fans are always eager to dive into SI's hefty preview issues, a must-have primer for upcoming college and pro sport seasons, including the Olympics. What else would a sports fan want? OK, SI's infamous swimsuit issue arrives faithfully each winter. --Doug Thomas

Subscription Term Name:6 months
Sports Illustrated has been around forever. Many claim that the magazine has lost relevance in the age of the Internet and ESPN. I disagree. Though the articles are not as timely as those other sources, the writing is still classy and fascinating. To SI the formula is simple and enduring: athletes are people, and the stories behind those people make for great reading. Throw in columnists like Peter King, Michael Silver, and Rick Reilly, and you have three must reads almost every issue. I like my sports with depth and substance, and that is what SI provides. ESPN the Magazine pales in comparison. Though I am still annoyed with SI over their brutal and unnecessary cover article on the University of Miami football program years ago, I still have to respect them for putting their opinion out there, agreed with or not.

That being said, should you wish to subscribe here is some good advice for you on getting the best possible deal. Don't order here. Go to their website and to the subscription inserts in the magazine itself, compare the prices, and request that a billing notice be sent to you instead of paying with a credit card. This way when your subscription is up for renewal, you have the opportunity to cancel without your card being charged. Often times sites like this one utilize a third party service that contracts with the various magazines, your payment goes to them and they auto-renew you. I find it easier to do it through the magazine themselves. Saves me the trouble, and invariably, the magazine comes a lot quicker.

SI's still got it January 2, 2002
Subscription Term Name:1 year
I have been a subscriber to SI for 18 years (since my junior year in high school). Some may be disappointed with the magazine because it is essentially the BusinessWeek of the sports world. But just as we have CNBC for real-time business info, we have ESPN (or CNNSI) for real-time sports info. That's not what SI is supposed to be - never was. SI fills the role of recapping the major developments in the sports world, while adding a great mix of some feature articles (often athlete profiles or controversial issues), "hit-and-run" facts and figures, as well as the obligatory editorials. When I consider what I look forward to each week, it's actually not the wrap-ups of major sports events or some high profile story. It's the "little things":

-the provactive close-up pictures at the beginning
-Letters to the Editor (maybe the only ones I read of any mag)
-Go figure (intriguing numbers that tell a story)
-Rick Reilly's last page column (he has a warm, conversational style that's almost mesmerizing)

Yes, it's true. You'll read more about baseball, football and basketball than you will about swimming, golf, or extreme sports. But accept SI for what it is - a great way to stay current, go deeper than the daily sports page, and be entertained. The price offered here is cheaper than my own subscription - it's also cheaper than a cup of coffee and lasts longer. So if you are even half a sports fan, you should be treating yourself to a weekly SI.

A Champion Only By Reputation November 17, 2006
Subscription Term Name:1 year
Like the lumbering, over-the-hill heavyweight fighter who still has just enough sting in that legendary left hook to be seen as a contender in the eyes of a promoter looking for a good pay-per-view buy-rate, Sports Illustrated continues to pack just enough punch to keep up with ESPN the Magazine and The Sporting News. But what a fall it has been over the past several years.

When SI was rocked by ESPN the Magazine's hip style (surprisingly, with several former SI staffers designing the award-winning layout), it began to revamp the format; in particular, the front section with quirky, short features and trendy questions and answers from athletes. It was tweaked over the years, but is now getting smaller and smaller.

Where The Sporting News emerged from the abyss with weekly columns covering a wide-range of sports, SI has toiled with its back pages to have quick hits on pro and college athletics. But unlike the TSN columnists - who deliver more opinion than straight news - SI typically plays it safe with facts and stats.

There has been a disturbing trend where it seems that pages are for sale to anyone with a nice check. A recent article on SEC football had all the puff of a paid advertisement and SI relies way too much on book excerpts throughout the year.

Many of the feature stories seemingly could have been penned at any time and then updated with a dash of new material for publication. The recent cover story on Ray Lewis could actually have been used at any point of the football season. And for an editor to allow the quotes from cowards - sources that wouldn't go on the record - critical of Alex Rodriguez was nothing short of tabloid journalism.

The Internet certainly has redefined the publication of weekly magazines. But instead of leading the pack, the editors at SI have been scrambling for years to try and get even with its competitors.

But just like that heavyweight, the time away from serious training in the gym shows in the slow footwork and punches that will just miss the mark.

1st issue came in just 16 days after order was placed.
Too much of sports media is garbage on a speedy conveyor belt. This has more substance.

And the Swimsuit Issue is worth the price of admission.
