1
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 1: When I was a kid, the best day of my

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: week was when Sports Illustrated arrived in our mailbox. It

3
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:10,879
Speaker 1: was something I savored, always saving the best story for last,

4
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: that I'd wait impatiently for the next edition to arrive.

5
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:17,960
Speaker 1: That early exposure to s I hooked me. I've had

6
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 1: a love affair with Sports Illustrated ever since. There's just

7
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 1: nothing like it. S I has a long history of

8
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: rich storytelling in the pages of the magazine, on s

9
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 1: I dot com, and now on this podcast. Welcome to

10
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: Sports Illustrated Weekly. I'm your host, John Gonzalez. Each week,

11
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,239
Speaker 1: we'll dive deep into the best stories from around the

12
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 1: sports world, like the Warriors rebuilding their dynasty on the

13
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:46,919
Speaker 1: fly and keeping Steph Curry happy in the process. If

14
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,199
Speaker 1: the goal is not win their championship, I don't want

15
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: to be here, but there's a great opportunity to develop

16
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: and maintain this goal that we've done and just give

17
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: it a shot. For the reasons behind Tom Brady playing

18
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: well into his forties, I imagine not playing and I

19
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,919
Speaker 1: imagine me watching football on Sunday gone, and these guys suck.

20
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 1: I mean I could do way better than that, or

21
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: difficult investigative reporting that comes with consequences. I received some

22
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: private messages that were borderline threats. There are a lot

23
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: of repercussions that come with speaking of Sports Illustrated Weekly

24
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: is here to do what s I has always done.
