    Each picture is so hilarious. He is so ridiculously silly, I just love it. I like the meditation one and the one where he’s raising his hands in victory lol.

    LMAO… I love how he is wearing Crew socks.

    My gosh, the saddest part about being such a loyal fan is that I measure myself aging by the aging of Jon and Stephen. 10 Years ago Jon was ridiculously young and Stephen was just a tot…not they both are greying and so am I.

      I wonder if the socks were from a multi-pack of tube socks. Probably a Christmas gift from last year. Like he’s said, it’s like 6 gifts in 1.

    Yep, that second one is definitely my favorite. But I love all of them because they’re so incredibly silly.

    EEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! CHEST!

    He needs to stop giving me reasons to be obsessed with him. I seriously need some kind of fake news rehab, because I can’t concentrate on anything else.

    These are absolutely fantastic!

    I love that man. With it being finals week at school, I definitely needed a laugh today. The Joy Machine never disappoints. :)

    According to the site below, Stephen will be on the Dan Patrick podcast tomorrow. I think it is downloadable from the site and itunes but I don’t know for sure–Sports Illustrated isn’t a typical stop for me on my daily internet breaks! :)

    These are completely hysterical! He’s so brilliant linguistically that it’s easy to forget he’s one of the finest physical comedians of our time.

      “He’s so brilliant linguistically that it’s easy to forget he’s one of the finest physical comedians of our time.”

      Well said! I completely agree. There is nothing he wouldn’t wear and no pratfall he wouldn’t take for a joke :)

    And he wears it well and does it well! ;-)

    • lockhart43 says:

      Yes! That’s why the physical comedy he does is so, so funny – he’s totally comfortable looking like a complete idiot. The fact that there’s no status he wouldn’t give up for a joke is entirely why he’s my comedy hero. :-)

    Oh, these are simply fantastic! Thank you so much for posting them! I love the fact that Stephen always leaves us with a little something extra special before he and Jon go on break. This will definitely take the edge off.

    Wow, just wow! What an amazing set of photos. Thank you, SI, for posting all these outtakes. Any one of them would have been a great cover. I take a boxing class, so I *love* the boxing one. Besides, we get to see his bare chest! (Fanning self).

    I think he may have kept working out w/ the drill sargeant from the Basic Training segments. He looks great. That also makes me smile just thinking of it. I loved the Basic Training stuff.

    I’m gonna pick up my copy of SI after work today. Definitely a framer!

      I definitely need to start framing my wall pictures – I normally just laminate them, but the SI just looks too good NOT to put in a frame. Thanks for the great idea! :)

    Oh Lord! These pics make me hope that US boxing needs a sponsor when the Summer Games roll around again! Even better, US swimming?! Dare I hope?
