I’ve had to dodge appliances tumbling down stairs more than once. It’s like Indiana Jones running from the boulder.
This is the oldest issue I still have.

The Dealers roll to a title Led by 'J.J.' Johnson, Iowa's slick combo came on late with the acid to edge Purdue and take the Big Ten championship Joe Jares
In all of Iowathere is not a pigpen or a corncrib that is out of earshot of University ofIowa basketball broadcasts. Instead of a single "Voice of theHawkeyes," there is a whole chorus of voices emanating from Iowa City,Cedar Rapids, Davenport and Des Moines, all with announcers and sponsors oftheir own. One clear-channel station is so powerful that a transplanted Iowan,over the Rockies in California, has been driving to a spot near his home tolisten in.

I've got two framed SI Covers featuring the Hawks. One is DJK and the other is George Kittle.
I also got my one and only letter to the editor published.
The Uncle used to (maybe still does) collect SI mags. He had every one stating back in the 50's for decades.
I don't subscribe any longer, but had many years of reading enjoyment.

Yep. This one left me pretty dehydrated as about a 14-year-old.Back in the 70's the swimsuit edition was much anticipated and a certain white mesh suit was especially intriguing.
During my jr. high years, I looked forward to racing home after school each Friday to get the SI from the mailbox. 1966

folks don’t read any more. Went the route of newspapers. Growing up...and I’m talking 60 years ago, fans anxiously awaited the postman bringing them their latest edition of Sports Illustrated and all its glossy color pics inside....that and Sporting News, and it’s gritty, ink stained tabloids format for baseball fans.
I don't disagree with you, except 1 aspect. Folks do read, they just read differently these days. Everything we do on this site is reading (and writing). We also expect our news to be instant and brief. I do agree the attention span has decreased for sake of quick hitting headlines. There is also more interaction with the idea author these days vs being told the details.
Makes sense magazines are all folding, the format is simply outdated. Long stories. Week-long delays for "news". Detailed. People also think they know more than the "experts" these days. However, by listening to my grandfather, that isn't new; comment sections just allow folks to state the disagreement publicly vs grousing at the barber shop.
We may read less books, but I would submit with the internet, we read more. We may consume less valuable information though.
