LSU beat Arizona???

Arizona. Arkansas. They both start with Ar, have an n in them, and the 7th letter is a. Close enough.

Based on all that I've seen in school in the last three years, that's the attitude both students and parents have.

SI was a mainstay for a long time. Then the politics. Never more

I must be late to the game. I haven’t really noticed SI for a few years, then started seeing these quick articles on the “news” on my iPhone.
They suck! Read like a JR. High school paper.

When SI actually meant something. A shell of what it was like most publications these days.

Bama Central, lead by Chris Walsh, has been one of the sites linked quite a bit here. You've probably read SI content and didn't realize Bama Central is a part of SI.

While it's not always the case—largely dependent on content—most journalists are told/suggested to write at an eighth grade level. In your business publications, et. al., it's normally at an 11th grade level. Sports reporting? Consider the audience. There are a lot of sports fans who aren't the sharpest knives in the drawer.

FWIW, SI restructured their model a few years ago. Sites like Bama Central will have paid staff, very few, and rely heavily in volunteer/intern type contributors. Hence, some of their content is WSJ type analysis.

I was mainly referring to the small SI "news" items that I see on the iphone.
These almost alway read like they were written by a third grader, or even worse - Joseph Goodman!

I subscribed to SI for many years, early 70's through early 2000's. At one time, this was an excellent magazine with top notch reporters. On occasion, I look at SI in our high school library and I agree, it has gone to crap! Why anyone would waste money on an SI subscription now is beyond me.
