Summary: after all these years
Comment: The two principal articles in the December 22, 2008 issue of Sports Illustrated number that lies before me are why SI remains the uncontested leader in North American general sports periodicals. Jim Trotter's 'D As in Dominant' connects the dots between the Steelers' Steel Curtain of yore an its present day top-ranked NFL defense. Joe Posnanski's 'noir' take on the winter baseball meetings in Las Vegas (!) captures the pathos and ridicule that are both required for a full understanding of this off-season institution.
Both are simply great sports writing.
SI is no longer the best source for up-to-the-minute sports news in our digital era, if it ever was. But the magazine's editors know what it is and what it isn't and major on bring us fine interpretation and commentary on the sports we live week after week, complemented with simply stunning photography.
You'll need another publication if you want to go really deep into, say, baseball or soccer. But for riveting and occasionally hilarious writing on the sports we love from people who know them deeply, SI is still the obvious choice. No instant replay required.

Summary: SI sets the standard
Comment: Sports Illustrated is the best sports magazine in circulation, filled with excellent sports photography and journalism. SI provides well-rounded coverage. I am a huge fan of Tom Verducci and look forward to SI's Baseball Preview every year - ahem, and yes, the Swimsuit issue ain't too shabby either. Amazon's price is the best deal out there (so far from some quick searches). Perfect for the sports nut in you or for your best pal.

Summary: Why not available outside US
Comment: The offers are great value but why oh why is this not available outside the US? Do publishers/Amazon think only Americans can appreciate ESPN, Sports Illustrated and the sports they cover? Get real. We watch these sports live all around the world. The internet goes all around the world. The hard copy of magazines? Cannot jump the border.

Summary: Great and Informative Magazine
Comment: I send this to my nephew every year as a gift and he shares with all of his friends. They really like to see this magazine come. You see, he and his friends are in prison and usually do not have current information on sports. So this is a blessing to all of them!
