[Lancey Howard]

I am NOT a subscriber but I found this garbage in my mailbox today. If I WAS a subscriber I would cancel immediately.

[Zuben Elgenubi]

Needs a swimsuit.

[Lancey Howard]

Sorry! Forgot the "Projectile Vomit Alert".

[ghost of nixon]

this looks like a parody - SI has gone liberal in a bad way

[andyandval]

You have got to be kidding me.

[scottdeus12]

This *is* a joke, right?

[Dengar01]

WOW! I can't believe you just posted this. Fifteen minutes ago I checked my mailbox and found this. I never subscribed to them, so I called them up and asked how the hell did it get here? They said I signed up at a football game which is total BS! I never sign up for stuff like this.

To top it off I the lady tries to get me to subscribe to Time magazine. I said I'm a right wing conservative and would use most likely use Time for toilet paper.

Anyone else get this without subscribing?

[cripplecreek]

What are they whining about? Marlin are fish anyway.

[mainepatsfan]

They're going to lose subscribers over this.

[SlowBoat407]

BWAHAHAHA!!!

They should have keyed that to the steroids story instead. (Are we drowning our sports with chemicals?)

[CFC__VRWC]

I posted about SI being a liberal rag a year or two ago, and got ridiculed big time by a few people for saying that.

Hmmmm, who was right about that one?

[Dengar01]

BUMP! Because this is just outrageous.

[Grizzled Bear]

I'm guessing it is a joke. Otherwise the cover would include "This Is Bush's Fault!"

[conservative in nyc]

This *is* a joke, right?

Nope. (Well, it IS a joke, but not to the writers of SI):

As global warming changes the planet, it is changing the sports world too. Already, surprising and innovative ideas are helping sports to adapt.

[HOTTIEBOY]

That is pretty stupid.

Even though they did not say global warming is man's fault, they said climate change.

Its stupid because climate change to create a flood of that nature would take 100s of years.

they act like the world is gonna flood tomorrow.

[AVNevis]

You've got to be kidding me...

[Shermy]

How many carbon credits does an issue cost?

[The Blitherer]

Wow, that's some pretty lame doctoring. I mean, they should at least TRY to make it look real.

[oceanview]

seriously though - you can't even watch the weather channel anymore. inside every block, is something on climate change. its insanity, I just want the damn forecast.

[Joe 6-pack]

That dude on the cover might want to try some of those NASA diapers.
