'Getting Real', Broncos adorn cover of Sports Illustrated
Whether you believe in curses or not, people will surely have an opinion of the 4-0 Broncos, and Daniel Graham, gracing the cover of the October 12th Issue of Sports Illustrated.. The cover looks great, especially since the Broncos were sporting the Orange -
The article, written by Jim Trotter, was a great look at what the Broncos are building and how they have made it happen in such a short time. One particular part of the story was intriguing to me. It talks about Vonnie Holliday and what he was told after signing with the Broncos just prior to the start of the Regular Season -
Trotter writes -
"Vonnie Holliday is one of the more vociferous players in football, but even he was stunned into silence early last month by an impromptu scouting report on his new team, the Broncos. A 12-year veteran defensive end, Holliday signed with Denver the week before the Sept. 13 season opener and arrived in the Mile High City optimistic and excited. Then, while talking to a local reporter, he got the lowdown on his teammates: ‘Basically,' Holliday was told, ‘you're playing with a bunch of bums.' The newcomer was taken aback. ‘At first I didn't know what to say,' Holliday says. ‘Then I was like, ‘Whoa. I don't know what you've seen so far, but in the couple of [preseason] games I've watched, they've played hard and at a high level.' I mean, how do you say something like that?' A month later the answer is obvious: You don't."
So, Broncos Fans, do YOU believe in the SI Jinx?

I wonder who that local reporter is
and I wonder if that issue is at Borders? I’m about to head there to find out. This is so cool. (That reporter is a dirtbag.) Thanks for passing this along, John.

Jim Trotter used to write for the SD paper
I really don’t like him at all, especially since he has been with SI. I see him several times on First Take in the morning and he seems to still be biased for SD.

Which reporter would something so asinine like that? I have to assume it’s someone from the DP. Probably someone who wouldn’t admit it and wouldn’t admit they were wrong either.

Well I guess it’s nice to be on the cover of SI, but I think this team is playing to a different type of leadership on the sidelines and on the field. No flying under the radar now, we are 4 and 0 Baby!

Just got a text from a Broncos Super Fan (who just so happens to be my former boss), with a eerie fun fact about the Broncos being on the cover of Sports Illustrated.
Turns out, the Broncos were on the cover 25 years ago this week, on Oct. 8, 1984, with the headline "The Broncos Bust Out."
Here’s the cover, featuring Sammy Winder.
Compare that to this week’s cover, featuring Daniel Graham. Pretty crazy, no?

The Curse
Was basically if you were on the cover, the team would lose the following week. I don’t have time to look it up at the moment, but I seem to recall several instances when Elway was on the cover and we lost the following game back in the 1980s. Maybe I’m wrong?
Obviously, the game comes down to blocking and tackling. But I remember reading about it back in the day.

I believe....
in the curse of the team that believes there own press and starts thinking that you don’t have to make plays, that it will just happen. I preferred the negative buzz. These guys were hungry and I want them to stay hungry. Fortunately, McDaniels has been around positive buzz for quite a few years and will keep them grounded and focused on the next game. I think big heads are the curse….and being on the cover of S.I. is a way to create big heads.
Besides, I’m superstitious. If I hadn’t have jumped on the elliptical machine after the first half, we never would have had improved offensive drives. :p

I’m glad it wasn’t Marshall on the cover…just when I feel like he might be immersed in the team, that would have been the last thing we’d need to feed his head. Glad it’s Graham! Great shot!

That's one possible explanation
I heard another one on the radio a couple years back. There was a statistician talking about how the people/teams who get recognized on the covers were those that are achieving beyond their average levels, and so they are likely to return to their average level. To put it another way, everyone has high points and low points, and you’re only going to get on the cover of SI during a high point. Since those high points are rarely plateaus, you will normally come down a little after doing something great and getting recognized.

Speaking of SI....
From Jerome Bettis:
“More apologies: To Josh McDaniels. Before the Broncos played even one game the jury was out on that guy: He was cocky, he was brash, he was young, he looked like a high school kid, and he’d made some boneheaded decisions that broke up a good team. Being a head coach was a little bit over this guy’s head.
After Denver defeated Dallas, we have to reassess those decisions: letting Cutler go; the way he handled Brandon Marshall; bringing in Mike Nolan to lead the defense. We have to look at the people he surrounded himself with — those were some solid choices. He took on his biggest challenge yet with Dallas, and it was a defining moment for this coach. He validated all of those choices. We were all wrong."
Now how about that. There’s one guy who isn’t afraid to admit it.

Ok, kids. Sports Illustrated wasn’t always the august electronic presence you now know and love. No! At one time, it was printed on paper and came in what we called a “mailbox.” Except that this was an actual box that sat out in front of your house on a post. People called “mailmen” (though some were women) would come every day with mail. Again, this “mail” was actually written on sheets of paper, and wrapped in paper to protect it. Yes, paper — the same stuff you wipe you ass with. I know, I know. Weird, right?

nothing ruins sports commentary/analysis more for me then when politics (and personal opinion!) is interjected into the analysis. Olbermann has no business on an NFL telecast imho. total expletive deleted. SNF sucks.
and for all you haters, I felt the same way about Limbaugh on MNF and that whole McNabb ‘black QB’ kerfuffle. whatever point he might have had was completely overshadowed by the fact that it was the wrong venue for his opinion !
and now he’s going to own the Rams ?
if he does i wonder if he is smart enough to keep his mouth shut once he has a vested interest ?
of course, this is the wrong venue for this opinion. i’m clearly an expletive deleted.

Of course a magazine cover can kill you.
I have here the Feb 08 issue of SI. The cover shows David Tyree, Rodney Harrison and Eli Manning. Since that picture was taken all three men’s lives have been destroyed.
Tyree was cut.
Harrison retired. Probably because of SI.
Manning was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis. No doubt from slipping on a copy of SI left on the floor.
Plus, here’s another thing. I went back to the very first cover of SI and tracked the fate of everyone who has ever been on the cover.
It turns out that over the decades, THEY ARE SLOWLY DYING OFF.
Its true, and the list of names reads like a who’s who of sports. Football…baseball…basketball…golf. It doesn’t matter. Vince Lombardi…Arthur Ashe…Payne Stewart…ALL DEAD. It goes on and on people.
And now Daniel Graham. Poor soul. I am afraid this means that one day, many years from now, Daniel Graham might die. I know, we can’t be sure of that but if and when it happens we will all know who to blame.
