I don't know about you guys, but I'm not getting the warm and fuzzies over SI's choice for a cover boy this week. Thanks to above cover picture, it appears that the Birds will battling forces of nature other than just Tiki Barber and Antonio Pierce. The legendary SI cover jinx has now been brought into play for Sunday's first round playoff game at the Linc.
While I hope there is no validity to the SI cover jinx, past history shows that it has affected our Birds. Two out of the last three times the Birds have appeared on the cover (after the NFC Championship Game in 2004 and after the 4th and 26 game in 2003), a loss followed the next week. On the bright side, the last time an Eagle appeared on the cover (9/25/05), the Birds won the next week.
Is it possible that the guy that picks the covers is a Giants fan and trying to mush the birds? I sure hope so, because reverse karma will definitely set in and win the day for our Iggles. In any event, thank you, SI. It's not like I needed something else to worry about with this game.
