DMN Blog: Tony Romo on SI cover...w/pic

[Temo]

Terrible cover shot.

Also: unjinx.

 

[adbutcher]

At least he is being respectable and not wearing his hat backwards.:laugh1:

:laugh2:

 

[BAT]

isn't being on the SI cover a jinx?

So I guess that means the Cowboys lose against Minny. Cue the teeth gnashing.

 

[Chief]

Probably the Ceiling.

:laugh2:

I think it's because he actually looks like a football player and not a regular Joe hanging out at the park.

Even when he's on the field, Tony looks like the guy you see at the park and not the stereotype of a football player.

Is this because he's "bottom-heavy?"

Will SI Cover Jinx Affect Romo?

[FONT=verdana,geneva]Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo makes another Sports Illustrated cover for this year’s NFL Preview. The issue hits newsstands this week and obviously, despite missing the playoffs last year, the Cowboys and Romo are still big news around the league. [/FONT]

[FONT=verdana,geneva]SI and staff writer Andrew Lawrence picked the Cowboys to finish second in the NFC East, but pointed about the team’s struggles late in the season. [/FONT]

[FONT=verdana,geneva]“Dallas hasn’t had a winning record in December and January since ’96—a streak that will be hard to snap given this brutal late season schedule,” writes Lawrence. “But the Cowboys could get off to another fast start with a few winnable road games and two prime-time showcases in their new stadium. Some soft out-of-division defensive matchups should help turnover prone Dallas as well." [/FONT]
​

[FONT=verdana,geneva]Romo has made the SI cover before back in 2006 and I don’t think it affected him too much. I know Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods have been on the cover several times. I think it’s worked for them.[/FONT]
[FONT=verdana,geneva][/FONT]
[FONT=verdana,geneva]Not comparing Romo to those guys. Just pointing out, if you can play, you can play. It doesn’t matter where your face is plastered. [/FONT]

Only if you believe in it.

Aaron, Matt, and Ben also got the cover.

ETA: Matt looks good.

Nice find.

The Aaron Rodgers cover looks goofy IMO.

Yeah, nice job.

I thought it was kind of weird being THAT up close... but after seeing all the other guys like that, I think Romo took the best pic. It's obvious that they told the QB's to have a straight face.

 

[EPL0c0]

Terrible cover.

I assume it was b/c of the nature of the article. Honestly, i think a pic of Romo smiling would have been better and frankly, would have irk'd the haters

 

[zeroburrito]

is that blue steel?

 

[Everlastingxxx]

Something not right with those photos. Maybe they photoshoped the helmets onto them and the proportions are not correct. Top of the helmets look odd.

 

[newera]

The dreaded SI jinx. Oh Noooooooes!!!

On another note, who was the last Cowboy to grace the cover of SI? I know BP was on it a few years back.

Tony was on one of the regional covers for the NFL preview issue last year as well.

I'll probably get the Aaron cover since I am in the Midwest. That sucks.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Aaron Rogers is one ugly mofo

Matt Ryan is the next David Caruso

Ben Roth looks like Uncle Joey on Full House

Awww, now thats the smile that makes my heart beat faster and my tummy to tingle.

If I had to rate the covers I would go
1. Matt
2. Tony
3. Ben
4. Aaron

Who puts a team picked to finish 2nd in their division on the cover?

Only dummies that really don't like Dallas.

Dudes, we are the team supposed to finish third.

Probably the Ceiling.
