Was enjoying that article but couldn't quite get through it thanks to SI's gratuitous advertising campaigns....

Do you really need to pop up full screen ads that many times in one article? 
Does the Sports Illustrated logo really need to take 1/3 of the screen real estate?   
And if your going to use 1/3 of my screen for your logo, do you really need to take the bottom 1/3 as well for pop-up ads?   

The user experience feels like being infected with a virus, but i guess what can you expect from print media dinosaurs clinging to a defunct business model?

And with that, I will never EVER go to SI's website again.

You were lucky you didn't get a virus .....all those magazine and tabloid sites are bad news for PC.

I got rid of my PC and went with Apple ......I now avoid most of that virus , and all the rest that locks up a computer?

Yes but now you have to use an Apple?  :P
"We are lucky we have a very patient GM that isn't willing to settle for being good and coming close. He wants to win a championship and we have the potential to get there still with our roster and assets."

quoting 'Greg B' on RealGM after 2017 trade deadline.
Read that last line again. One more time.
