Pay for the preview privilege? Apparently Sports Illustrated thinks its entitled, raising the price for their specials by a buck, from $4.99 to $5.99, according to this item.

Come on, does any serious fan still get information from the printed page? Of course, there are those who are more interested in the thoughtful prose that lies therein, but with data available and constantly updated on the Web… One day these glossies are going to price themselves into extinction.
