    Talking Sports Illustrated Cover Jinx gets even worse...

    Vick and Pennington were seemingly the most popular choices for NFL photo shoots the past couple of months. Both were shot for possible Sports Illustrated covers during the past two weeks and both are now are gone for the next month or two (and probably more in Pennington's case).

    ----------------------------------

    Whatever happens with the Bills...please, please, please do NOT put any of them on the cover of Sports Illustrated!

    As soon as I saw the thread name I figured it was Vick...




    For all the education and practice each of us undergoes, the achievment of mastery is ultimately the outcome of a personal quest for understanding.

    AND PENNINGTON! Apparently, according to the D&C. Sports Illustrated had a cover ready to go to print for the NFL Preview. It had Michael Vick on the cover. That was the weekend of the game. we all know what happened. Then they decided on putting Chad Pennington on the cover, they had it all set and just had to print it...but he broke his wrist. Now, they settled it and put Kurt Warner on the cover and he will be on the new NFL Season Preview issue.

    Is this similar to the Chucky Soup jinx that took out Jerome Bettis, Terrell Davis, Kurt Warner, Donovan McNabb AND Michael Strahan in the past years?

    It's the swelling head jinx, actually.

    Get some extra popular publicity - head swells - hard to run around with that big 'ole monster head - fall down - get hurt.

    Simple as that.
    Still searching for that offensive rhythm.

    I hope any Bill ever considered for the cover will graciously decline the opportunity.
    Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

    AGREED! Apparently when Parcells was head coach for the Giants, he told them hell no when SI wanted to use them on the cover.

    I'm waiting for Pennington or Ricky or even Tom Brady to be on the front cover of the Madden game next year.
