Sports Illustrated may love its readers enough to give them sexy swimsuit
models every year, but it sure hates Knicks fans. Because the cover of this
week's regular issue features point guard Jeremy Lin. STOP THE LINSANITY!!!!!
As everyone knows, there's a Sports Illustrated cover curse—a curse so
renowned that even SI had to acknowledge it—wherein landing on the cover
means the athlete will likely be jinxed. For instance, look at these recent
cover victims, via Wikipedia:
- January 8, 2012: The Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers appears
on the cover as the 2012 NFL playoffs begin. The Packers lose to the New
York Giants at home, 37-20, and Rodgers has a quarterback rating of 78.5. -
January 22, 2012 - The San Francisco 49ers were featured on the cover of SI
for January 23rd, They subsequently lost in overtime to the New York Giants
20-17. - January 30, 2012 & February 6, 2012 (cover date) - The New England
Patriots's quarterback Tom Brady and Owner Robert Kraft were featured on the
cover in consecutive weeks leading up to the Super Bowl. On February 5,
2012, the Patriots went on to lose a second consecutive Super Bowl
appearance against the New York Giants in Super Bowl XLVI, 17-21.
Terry McDonnell told the Daily News, "Jeremy Lin has done more in these past
five games to captivate a fan base than any player in NBA history - and not
just with his historic statistics. Look at what’s going on in this city."
But one Knicks fan from Westchester said, "It’s never a good omen. You don
’t want that hanging over you. If he tears his ACL, they’ll say, ‘There
goes the cover curse.’" But Lin himself would say, "There goes God"—the
devout Christian told the media today, "Anytime something like this happens,
a lot of stuff has to be put into place, and a lot of it is out of my
control. If you look back at my story, doesn't matter where you look, but
God's fingerprints are all over the place where there have been a lot of
things that had to happen that I couldn't control." | w****1
