Hope they haven't jinxed us with the current cover shot.

Here we go, Steelers, here we go!

I'm convinced I could spend days on the SI vault. Its just packed with so much stuff.

Good choice, Ben; SI was a real treat back in the day. My dad subscribed right from the beginning (1954). Somewhere I've got the first 5 issues of the magazine, which includes a pre-season 1954 college football article with Duke in the Top Ten.

It was a highlight of the week to get the issue every Thursday back when I was in junior high and high school. Great photos, great writing.

The sports landscape is cluttered nowadays, but SI was special.

As they've done throughout the playoffs, SI did regional covers this week. The eastern US got the Steelers. the Western US got Arizona. Last week, though, despite both Pittsburgh and Arizona having covers, I got the Steelers. This week, the Cardinals.
