Well it was mostly a magazine and people don't do that anymore. Unless they switched to online. But it had a good run. The swimsuit edition was the best.

Agree. They had a decent run with the online piece a couple years ago. I used to enjoy Peter King's MMQB recap. But in the last 2 - 3 years, not much and with a significant paywall.

We all knew Sports Illustrated was circling the drain when they hired and featured Grant Cohn

It was some sort of an offline website, in print form
I'm stunned it didn't make it

The SI Swimsuit edition had some incredibly hot ladies over the years. Yeah it was clothed. But barely. Still pretty darn hot for some of them no doubt.
