Welcome to the SI Photos Tumblr Blog. I’m a few days in and thought it’d be a good idea to take a second and introduce myself. My name is Andy Gray and I am your gatekeeper (or whatever the appropriate word is for Tumblr). I have access to thousands of SI photo shoots dating back to the magazine’s birth in 1954. Some of these photos are classic, some are funny and some are just plain weird. Whatever the category, my goal is to provide you with the most entertaining sports photos on the web. Any comments or suggestions, please email me at  andy_gray@simail.com. Other than that, sit back and enjoy this pic of Walter Payton flying through the air. (Heinz Kluetmeier/SI)
