Is it worse than this one?



I remember you reacted strongly to "GOOD NEWS, BIRD NEWS"

[Guest d'Kong76]

Hate that orange-haired mother fucker.

(not really, it's the hind-sighted lament and jealousy talkin'...)

[Zvon]

It looks like Justin's dyed hair is running.

[Edgy MD]

Yes, that's part of it.

[metsmarathon]

looks like someone just dumped a big tub o' vomit all over him.

lolol^

Put a beard on her.

I thought the cover photo was fantastic. SI still does great photography. The cover sucks, though, like most every cover nowadays sucks. It's too bad that the present trend is to cram practically the entire table of contents onto every magazine cover.

What can be bad about the SI Curse?

This cover reminds me that I'm pretty sure Turner was one of the voices in the LAD clubhouse who went to mgmt a year or so ago and told them they needed to get Puig the fuck out of there.
Seems that winning cures all ills based on that photo.

First of all, the point of having three periods in a three-word phrase is to suggest that the statement in the phrase is such an unadulterated fact that each part of it is a fact, so it should be ... three periods. "BEST. TEAM. EVER."

The question mark in "BEST. TEAM. EVER?" totally belies the two earlier periods. That's bad copywriting!

[Guest 41Forever]

Sports Illustrated acknowledged baseball? I thought it was just a football/naked women sheet these days.

[Frayed Knot]

I think they're trying to say they're the best team now with the ever part still TBD

Then just one period would have sufficed (after TEAM).

[Edgy MD]

Agreed. They stamp in two periods for emphasis and then follow that up with the wet noodle of a question mark?

Don't come into my layout office with that garbage!

can see it on my laptop. Memories of Carrie

Meh, Simpsons is basically acceptable lexicon now imo.

This is exactly right.

Whenever I see these overcrowded covers, I'm reminded of this classic

[metsmarathon]

also, why is EVER? not on its own line???

BEST.
TEAM.
EVER?

would look a little more sensible.

[bmfc1]

I got the cover with Roger Federer. I'm not complaining.

[G-Fafif]

My issue came with no cover, but the address label stamped on the TOC. And they wonder why print is going to hell.
