Eerie, isn't it?SI? It is a curse I tell you. lol
Despite being one of the country's leading sports publications since the 1950's, some fans shiver at the thought of their favorite team or athlete being featured on the magazine's cover.
Over the years (starting in 1954 with MLB legend Eddie Matthews), an uncanny amount of sports figures who appeared on the front of the magazine have come down with injuries, lost big games or suffered some other unfortunate misfortune.
In the realm of baseball alone, Sports Illustrated's last five World Series picks have either missed the playoffs entirely or been kicked out in the Divisional Series.
While the publication used to only release one national cover, the curse has transferred over to the many regional covers SI now boasts.
Here's further proof the that some press actually is bad press.

Nonsense. The Patriots have been on the SI covered many times.
The early nineties Cowboys were often on the cover.
