Sports Illustrated Cover Jinx Sports
Sports Illustrated itself takes a look into the spooky cover shot jinx
that has plagued numerous teams and athletes through decades. In a
nutshell, many athletes and teams have floundered and failed miserabley
after appearing on the cover of SI. Typically appearing on the cover is
reflective of stellar performances up to that point, so the jinx seems
to take those who are flying high and instantly ground them.
SI's Alexander Wolff wrote this weeks cover story looking into the
jinx. Seems their research has found 913 "jinxes" in all 2,456 covers.
Wow.
Maybe they take requests? I'd like to see the Detriot Red Wings and the
New Jersey Nets on the next cover please? Thanks!
Speaking of which, the Av's
take a huge OT win from Detriot yesterday to go up 3-2 in the series.
And the Celtics lose at home to the newly hated New Jersey Nets 92-90. 
Oh, and for humour today, check out this Conan O'Brien feature on the "diehard fans" who camp out for Star Wars movie openings...
This is a crack up.
