[Paragon]

6. lol then ok :)

Kudos for both of us for predicting then. The jinx lives on.

[lolly]

3. Suggestions for next cover?

Headline:

Bush Keeps Winning!

Rumsfield, Rice jobs secure!

Republicans retain control of House, Senate!

4. I understand SI's 50th (?) annivesary is coming up soon...

...and the cover's going to be a collage of previous covers. In short, SI is going to be on the SI cover. I hope everyone is dumping their Time Warner (SI's parent company) stock right now!

5. Freaky

When I saw the issue, I said to myself: "The Chiefs are going to lose."
That's one powerful curse!

7. How about this issue?

The Broncos were 4-0 before this photo, then they went on to lose 4 out of their next 5.

8. DOH!

Curse you Sports Illustrated!

9. Thank you Sports Illustrated!

And Jon Kitna, and Peter Warrick, and Rudi Johnson, and Chad Johnson....

I'll always be a Cowboys fan first, but it's a lot more fun in Cincinnati when the Bengals are winning. It's been a long 13 years.

Whodey!

10. wow

I think that is the first time I read or heard someone say thank you Jon Kitna unless it was a fan of the opposing team.

15. It's shocking, I know!

But look at his statistics this year. He's played very well.

11. The DUX brought it back to life

Next week it was Washington State 55-16, then Utah 17-13, then Arizona State 59-14



45-24

12. They were a bit suspect, in any case.

They should have lost the Denver game, but for shitty officiating, and there were some other close calls.

[jeter]

13. How about last years Notre Dame "Return to Glory" cover?

The Irish have since lost 10 of their last 15 games.

14. Oregon believes

After beating Michigan, Oregon was on the cover of SI. The next game UO played they were routed by WSU 55-16.

Go Cougs !!
