Brady, Moss on SI cover

[Uncle Rico]

Criminy.

The cover is from the edition that comes out this week.

Patriots style earns Brady historic SI cover

Nothing definitive on when the photo was taken. BUT, daytime pic+Beiber haircut + white unis + SI/week one ==== MOST LIKELY from Cinci game.

I'm not really worried about Karma with this. The Pats are easily the top story of week one, and as we all know from the past decade+, this comes with the territory. I think we can enjoy the fact that others around the country are left to think "...them again. ..."

Well you know how covers are when you are on the front. A curse!

 

[Uncle Rico]

Yeah, 1992 was fun.

Precisely. ...

 

[FredFromDartmouth]

Abandon all hope; the Sport Illustrated Curse. I predict disaster for those two...

You can bet this cover will be on all the lockers room of their opponents. Ugh.

SMY tweeted that Brady ties Montana for most SI covers, with 12.

Here's 9 of them SI.com - Photo Gallery - Tom Brady's SI Covers

As a minor point, the Curse supposedly only kicks in if you agree to pose for the cover. If they just use a "random" photo of you, that doesn't count.

How is this OLD news?

If you hadn't posted this, I would have, because it's true. I think.

Not minor at all. It is huge.

Wasn't Brady on the SI cover not too long before he blew out his knee? I hope that cover not involuntary.

Funny stuff.

When other teams get the media attention there's an influx of "Pats getting no respect" threads.

SI puts Brady and Moss on the cover and now we see the "This is bad news for the Patriots, why won't the media just leave them alone!" posts.

So, is it live chickens or goats that BB has to sacrifice to break the "curse"?

From what I saw in that gallery, the last time he was on the cover was November 2005.

He was on the cover in 2007 (after the Cowboys game) and in 2008 preseason.

My bad, it wasn't in the gallery on the SI site, although it looked like it wasn't working quite right.

It's nice to get media attention, just not the SI cover is all

I don't know how to break the curse. What did the Red Sox do? That worked out pretty well...

 

[gmtaxi27]

I wouldn't worry about any curse. He just came off a 3 TD game after surviving a serious car accident without a scratch. I would say the big guy upstairs is looking out for him, making him imunne to any curses.

Didn't they all down shots before Game 4 in '04 ALCS?
