Sports Illustrated has shared with us a classic Kate Upton bikini video, because … it’s Tuesday? They’re shameless? Honestly, we have no earthly idea.

Nor are we in a position to complain. In fact, we’ll respond in kind, shamelessly, sharing that very same video with you. Such a good day to be alive in America.

If we had to guess what prompted SI’s recycling of vintage Kate footage from her 2012 cover shoot, it’s those Upton Game of War ads all over TV.

Watch any sports in recent weeks? Then you’ve seen those ads 10 times or so. And have no clue what Game of War is because Kate is too distracting.

Heck, Kate Upton GIFs are distracting enough. Those ads basically take it to the 10th power and throw in a bunch of stuff exploding for good measure.

Anyway, Madison Bumgarner apparently isn’t driving the web traffic over at SI, the iconic publication that put Kate Upton on the map 3-4 years ago.

Can’t really blame them for reminding us of that undeniable fact, can you?

Especially when they post videos like this, and give us reason to dig up what is most likely our favorite-ever gallery (below), we cannot. We most definitely cannot.

But enough talk. See the aforementioned video, and gallery, right here …

Now, for more examples of Kate’s impressive body of work …
