It was amazing that SI went to press on Monday, and I usually received my copy in the mail each Thursday. First subscribing in 1970, I will never forget the 12-7-70 issue with Roman Gabriel and LOS ANGELES BATTLES BACK on the cover, the 10-17-83 issue with Eric Dickerson and RUNNING WILD on the cover, the 12-17-84 issue with Dickerson and RUSH TO GLORY on the cover, the 10-18-99 issue with Kurt Warner and WHO IS THIS GUY on the cover, and Warner again on the cover after the Super Bowl victory and the 57-31 blowout of the Chargers. Other covers stand out in my mind, such as the ones after the Rams beat the Packers in a great game in 1967 and after losses to the Vikings in the 1969 playoffs, the Bucs during the 1979 season, and the Steelers in Super Bowl 14.
