And while we are doing postmortems, have a thought for Sports Illustrated, which reportedly is firing half of its newsroom before reportedly handing over control to TheMaven, a digital content network. I am 54 years old, old enough to remember when SI had the best sports writers on the planet and was loaded with color pictures in the days when daily papers were black and white.

So long, SI. Even if this takeover doesn’t kill you, it will never be the same. But, we’ll always have Indians Uprising.
