Sports Illustrated ruins our season
 

Not worried a bit about this.

Can't believe anybody actually still subscribes....maybe if they started offering the phone again.

Should've put Alex Smith on the front cover

And don't forget this one the following week. :facepalm:

**** you, SI. I can't have anything good, can I?

SI is why we can't have nice thingies like Super Bowls.

Hahaha, and check out the top of the KU one too - SI went for a wide net on that one.

(As well as top of the Mizzou cover too).

How's that cover working out for Tommy Boy? He was junk on National TV and we made him pay for it. Humiliated him in front of his home crowd. Oh and **** you Robert Kraft Your the Cheatiest. (see what i did there?)

I noticed that the week prior to big games recently, they split the cover... it was Brady/Ryan last year leading up to the SB. Same for the prior year. Guess they don't want a total meltdown.

This really is poised to be the year of the rookie RB.

Beyond the obvious Fournette, Cook and McCaffrey picks, there's Hunt, Foreman and even Jamal Williams. Tarik Cohen looked explosive as hell (a new Darren Sproles).

A lot or RBs have started to look old and slow over the last few years and there hasn't been a wholesale wave of talent to backfill behind them. This may be a year that changes that.

Hell, this may be a year that changes a LOT of key positions. This draft, more and more, is looking like it could be historically great.

Chill.

Hunt basically looked like the best player in the league this past week. I really hope you weren't expecting that to occur every week, SI jinx or not.

Heh. I still have that Daniel cover framed on the wall of my den, though. The apex of the program - at least in my lifetime.

Running back is one of the hardest positions to stay healthy for an entire NFL season. I expect he'll miss some time at some point in the season.

Mother ****er!!!!!!!

Yeah, this is not good. I'm getting worried about this game. Hope they don't overlook Philly. They'd love nothing more than to stick it to Andy Reid.

Framed in my office at work.

Is this the new "we'll be fine?

Why couldn't they put Alex Smith on the cover.

they work hand-in-hand. We'll be fine, chill.

Chill.

It's part of a nice little collage I've got, featuring my game ticket, the Star flyer they were handing out in the parking lot after the game, and a picture of NZoner and I right after it ended.

We're ****ed

/thread


LMAO

Don't forget about the NFL neck brace issue featuring Jovan Belcher.

That KU/MU game for all the marbles is the most incredible thing that ever happened.

And of course MU winning, then missing out on a major bowl while KU went to one - is the most MU thing ever.

He's been on the cover like 21 times. I'd say overall it's working out fine for him TBH.

Oh, and it's ****ing September. EARLY September. And it's been ONE game. At least wait until Halloween, much less Thanksgiving, before you crown yourself. Jesus.

Dude. We've won the season already, Alex is shocking the world. Proving all the haters wrong. 16-0 is a legit possibility.

You'll see.

He's not on the new Madden, so we're fine.

19-0***

I should rephrase that. 16-1 because Chuueefs.

From Wikipedia

Do people still subscribe to SI? From what I remember (back when they were relevant) is that their covers were/are regional.

Lew Perkins buying his way into the Orange Bowl is the most MU thing to ever happen (seriously. If you've never seen the video of one of the bowl committee members being asked on live TV why they picked KU over MU, you should go find it. Absolutely frustratingly hilarious).

To hell with u man. Have you forgotten the seasons where the Pats were door mats for rest of nfl?

So if I or a few of us get a bit excited over thumping the World Champions even though it's just the 1st game, tfb.
You're just gonna have to deal with it ,lol.

****! Our RB situation is about to turn to shit . . . .

Wow, back in the 50s/60s, people were dying shortly after being on the cover. Quite often in fact.

Guess we shouldn't complain so much now.

LMAO Yep

fixed it for you
