Sports Illustrated

Sports Illustrated (SI) is a well-known American sports magazine that made its debut in August 1954. Founded by Stuart Scheftel, it became the first magazine to exceed a circulation of one million and win the National Magazine Award for General Excellence on two occasions. SI is particularly recognized for its annual swimsuit edition, which has been released since 1964 and has led to various related media and products. Until 2018, Sports Illustrated was owned by Time Inc., but it was sold to Authentic Brands Group (ABG) when Time Inc. was acquired by Meredith Corporation. Following this, The Arena Group (previously known as theMaven, Inc.) received a 10-year license to manage the editorial side of Sports Illustrated, while ABG retains the rights to use the brand for other non-editorial purposes and products.

6 hours ago | si.com | Dan Raley

A lot of football players enter the game dreaming of winding up in Canton. Immortalized as a Hall of Famer in that Ohio city. Dressed up in a mustard-colored jacket. Then there's 6-foot-5, 260-pound offensive tackle Jamarios Canton, who's letting everyone find their way to him. This young Texan is one of the. bright young faces -- with a big body -- increasingly showing up on the recruiting circuit. On Thursday, the University of Washington's Michael Switzer made him a scholarship offer.

12 hours ago | si.com | Dan Raley

Middle of the pack. That's where the University of Washington's Jedd Fisch is pegged -- specifically 10th -- in the latest Big Ten head-coaching ranking, as compiled by CBS Sports. Too high or too low? One argument is he hasn't done anything yet when looking at his debut 6-7 record with the Huskies in 2024.

STATE COLLEGE | Penn State lost a key defensive player this spring, as edge rusher Max Granville sustained a long-term injury recently. Nittany Lions coach James Franklin confirmed the injury Thursday, following a report by 247Sports. Granville, a redshirt freshman defensive end, sustained the injury at home in Texas during the players' post-semester break, Franklin said.
Stat of the Jay: A Grand Celebration Is in Store for ROH Finalist Dave Lapham in 2025

13 hours ago | si.com | Jay Morrison

CINCINNATI – The hardest stat to dig up for the series of Cincinnati Bengals Ring of Honor finalists might be the most impressive. Stats are hard to find for offensive linemen, especially those who played in the 1970s and 1980s. But Dave Lapham is so much more than a former offensive lineman. Lapham joined the Bengals as a third-round pick in 1974, and he’s still working with the team today as the radio analyst, a job he’s held since 1986.
Seattle Seahawks insider shares context on Sam Darnold's up-and-down day in red zone

13 hours ago | si.com | Tim Weaver

Coming out of an OTAs practice earlier this week, a minor, entirely media-made quarterback controversey came out of one bad session from the Seattle Sehawks' new starter, Sam Darnold. The headline was that Darnold had thrown two interceptions in the red zone on three passes, which sounds pretty bad without any context. Nevertheless, head coach Mike Macdonald found himself answering "crazy" questions about what it would take for rookie Jalen Milroe to replace Darnold as Seattle's QB1.
Manny Pacquiao Reacts To Vasiliy Lomachenko’s Retirement

14 hours ago | si.com | Apratim Banerjee

Vasiliy Lomachenko recently announced his retirement from boxing. The Ukrainian, 37, had a dazzling career. He won the Olympic gold medal twice, at Beijing 2008 and at London 2012. After turning professional in 2013, Lomachenko won world titles in three different weight classes. He was also the reigning IBF lightweight champion. But now he has decided to hang up the gloves. The Ukrainian's last outing was a TKO win against George Kambosos Jr in May 2024.
Sports Illustrated Ranks 49ers' Offensive Triplets 7th-Best in NFL

15 hours ago | si.com | Grant Cohn

The 49ers revamped lots of their roster this offseason, but they kept their offensive triplets intact. "Triplets" are a team's starting quarterback, lead rusher and lead pass catcher. When the 49ers won the Super Bowl in 1995, their triplets were Steve Young, Ricky Watters and Jerry Rice. This year, their triplets are the same ones they had when they lost the Super Bowl most recently -- Brock Purdy, Christian McCaffrey and George Kittle.
Husky Roster Review: 'Batman' Played Like Superhero at Times

16 hours ago | si.com | Dan Raley

In terms of catchy nicknames, the University of Washington football program welcomed players who referred themselves as "Showtime" and "Lockdown" in recent seasons, but those guys weren't able to establish lasting brands and left town. Rylon "Batman" Dillard-Allen, however, presents all sorts of intriguing superhero possibilities and appears here to stay.
Evaluating Miami Dolphins QB Zach Wilson's Ranking Among NFL Backups

16 hours ago | si.com | Dante Collinelli

It seems like the Miami Dolphins have tried everything to fix the backup quarterback position in recent years. They’ve signed veterans (Teddy Bridgewater, Jacoby Brissett), tried to develop young talent (Skylar Thompson), and added free agents in the middle of the season (Tyler Huntley). None of those have worked, so the Dolphins are taking a different approach in 2025.
Brock Purdy Raves About 49ers Rookie Wide Receiver Jordan Watkins

17 hours ago | si.com | Grant Cohn

It's extremely early in the offseason, but the most impressive rookie on the team so far is wide receiver Jordan Watkins. He was a late fourth-round pick, so he has no expectations. Last year's fourth-round pick Jacob Cowing caught four passes as a rookie. Sometimes, wide receivers take years to develop. Not Watkins, apparently. Through two weeks of OTAs, he already is playing with the starters and impressing Brock Purdy. "He's balling, man," Purdy said.
