A college football piece in 1990 called former University of Chicago president Robert Maynard Hutchins "fat." He was actually tall and lanky. (Fact-checker: "Hey, Google didn't exist yet!") ... Swimsuit model Marisa Miller's name was misspelled 15 times in one 2004 issue.... While we're at it, Mets shortstop Rey Ordó√±ez was very understanding when we called him Ray on a 1999 cover.... Larry Csonka extended his middle finger on our cover in '72.... This forgettable 2002 projection, on SI.com: "It is conceivable that Danny Wuerffel could throw for 3,600 yards and 26 TDs." ... In 1979 we called Slap Shot the fourth-worst sports movies ever—24 years before we ranked it No. 5 all time.... SI once miscounted the number of hockey great Bobby Hull's children. This was pointed out by Mrs. Hull herself, on our letters page.
