It’s been a while since we wrote about the Sports Illustrated saga, but the once-famous media outlet revealed that it’s going behind a paywall.
* * *
SI.com—which in January drew its largest monthly audience ever—launched in 1997. So, why a paywall now? Because the internet has changed, and savvy media consumers know that quality digital content that's worth your time is also worth your support. Because a model based solely on advertising exposes our storytelling capabilities to market forces we can't control. And because we want to build the kind of connection, loyalty and trust with our digital audience we've long had with the magazine.
This may worth something:

And by the summer of 2015, the football player was making appearances on Kostek's Instagram account.
"Friday night date night," she professed along with a black and white shot of the two together in September 2015. As the month progressed, it appeared so did their relationship. When it came time to celebrate Kostek's sister's birthday, Gronk was included in the crew.

“Was talking about my days of Miami fashion week and how it was basically my equivalent of walking Paris couture,” Teigen wrote while describing the experience as less than glamorous. “200 bucks a show minus agency and I’d wait 5/6 hours sitting on the floor of the Mondrian to be seen.”
