    They still have Hot and Not...just in a sillier format...not a big fan of that one.

    I like some of the tidbits, but Scorecard usually handles those needs for me...I don't need the other fluff

    I said that they got rid of the indecipherable chart. That had to be one of the most ridiculous things SI has ever run. I think they realized it fairly quickly, because I don't think it even lasted a year.

    It gets me something to which I can look forward.

    Only the grammar freaks will care too much though.

    We grammar freaks long ago lightened rules on ending sentences with prepositions.

    I just spent 35 minutes on the phone with SI changing my subscription to digital only. I swear it was like I was the first person who have ever attempted this. They were thoroughly flummoxed.

    Finally did it and it will save me about 50 percent of what I was paying, not to mention saving space in the old recycle bin.

    Not a fan of the redesign. It looks busier, and the editorial content is a little more difficult to distinguish from the ad content when you're thumbing through it.

    More surprised that they didn't waste a page explaining the redesign. Looks like they dropped the text size down a smidge and cut down on the white space.
    First noticed it with the college football preview issue.

    All the thick, bold rules and tall, horizontally squeezed heads make the story text look cramped. I wonder if the newsholes are a little smaller as a result. Look at the first page of the Pat Summitt Scorecard page. Does "SCORECARD" really need to be gajillion-point, with a big margin above and a wide, blocky shadow box under it? Not sure what that accomplishes, other than dominating the story text.
