The last Sports Illustrated I bought was back in 1984 after the Tigers won the World Series

Looks like I haven't missed much: "Once-Great Sports Illustrated Is Now Just Another Bullhorn For Attacks On The First Amendment".




Unrelated health update  It still feels a bit like a bunch of sheriff's deputies are stomping around in my insides with a bloodhound, looking for an escaped prisoner, but I'm getting a little better every day. Mrs. Paco gives me an airing in the evening, pushing me around the block in a wheel chair, and I've got a PT person dropping by a couple of days a week. Eat your fibers, folks!

  1. I think Sports Illustrated's only big sales happened every year when the swimsuit edition came out. They've killed that, though, because this year the models were grossly fat women.

  2. The last one I bought was the 2-7-2000 edition, just after the St. Louis Rams won the Super Bowl. As far as I can remember, that is the only one I ever bought. Not so much because I was a Rams fan, but more that I was a Kurt Warner fan.

    Well, there was also a 1998 swimsuit edition compilation. It didn't have any grossly fat women. Not even close.

    Glad to hear Mrs. Paco is getting her exercise.

  3. Yeah, almost all magazines have gone woke. It's quite sad.

    Does your wheelchair have a siren and/or flashing lights? Just in case, y'know!

  4. Does your wheelchair have holsters for wheelguns?
    Just in case, y'know.

    1. We do encounter them occasionally, but we know them all anyway. Good, helpful people.

  6. I am really happy for the both of you that you are on the mend.
    I think you need to equip the wheelchair with one of those honker horns with the air bulb. Sort of Mr Magoo style. "Road Hog!!".
