[Misunderestimated]

Interesting list.
"Iconic" is a slippery term I guess.

I'm getting a paywall

Darn... I'm sorry...I thought of that and I thought that people got a free number of articles for a certain period before that kicked in...

It's an interesting list maybe someone with more computer skills than me can figure out how to link it?

I've never read that site. I don't really understand the concept, but like my mom used to say, the world does not revolve around me. This is an interesting topic to me, so I'll throw out a list...

The Athletic aspires to be a bit like what Sports Illustrated used to be plus daily "fluff" content (usually league/team based). They do have some excellent sportswriters. They do produce a lot of articles on a daily basis but a couple of times a month, there's a truly excellent long-form piece like SI used to have on a weekly basis.

They generally have a nice sale around Black Friday and Xmas and I've found it mostly worth the money if you like good sportswriting.
