The New England Patriots Are Now Cursed

17
Vote

by Tyrone Briggs

A picture certainly is worth a thousand words, isn't it?

In a move that defies logic and defiantly dares to oppose the Sports Illustrated fabled cover curse, are the photographed beaming faces of Junior Seau, Rosevelt Colvin, Teddy Bruschi, Mike Vrabel and Adalius Thomas in the November 12, 2007 edition.

Undoubtedly, a simultaneous involuntary release of the bowels was overheard (and whiffed) in New England as the masses opened their mailboxes.

To date, Head Coach Bill Belichick has been able to successfully defeat his mortal enemies during his team's controversial 2007 regular season. Let's see how Darth Hoody now copes with the supernatural nemesis better known as the SI Curse.

Tom Brady was on the cover three weeks ago, right after the defeat of the Cowboys, hailing the fact they were 6-0. So, I guess they shouldn't be undefeated right now.

Is it just a coincidence that MILF is at "soccer" level?

Thank god- I freakin hate beli-hunk (as jay Mariotti calls him) and Brady up the butt (as Jay mariotti calls him). New England blows. I pray to the all mighty jesus that the Colts win the superbowl again. You'd think that when the players say this cover they would have commented on how stupid it looks

Ahh, the lame haters who come out when your team's doing well. How adorable.

Anyone who quotes Mariotti must suck, even if they like my teams. That's the best you can come up with? Mariotti catchphrases? Really? Hint: There's a reason they don't catch on.

Brady's been on the cover, Moss has been on the cover. They haven't been cursed yet, so I doubt they will.

VY was on SI before the Rose Bowl, and he went on to have one of the greatest performances in recent sports history.

SI curse doesn't exist. Madden Curse does

The SI Curse skips around, you never really know when it hits.

If the jinx were real, that cover should have jinxed the jinx, causing there to be no jinx anymore. Or something.

What is up with MJD? Any honest opinions out there (meaning I won't bite back...)?

Well, Bball and I have a long-standing feud with MJD for entirely different reasons, but I stayed out (and will continue to stay out) of you guys' beef because a) I have no idea what it's all about (I think I missed that week), and b) arguing on the internet turns out to be a colossal waste of time.

That cover does remind me of the one SI ran about Omar Minaya and the powerhouse Mets, and we saw how that worked out down the stretch. Sometimes it takes a while for the jinx to sink in, but hopefully the Patriots will suffer down the road. And what is Junior Seau even doing on there? C'mon, the guy's a bit player on that team, but still as annoying as ever.

So, now that they are cursed, does that mean they will beat Miami by 35 instead of 55?

Warden, Bruschi and Seau split a position. Works out pretty well.

the eagles were on the cover after they beat the falcons in 2004... I wonder what the correlation to championship game winners and their record in the SB...as one of the winners appears on SI typically...

I hate the Pats, but despite all the evidence to the contrary, any mention of an SI curse is nonsense. These guys are just too good and too bloodthirsty.
