SI Jinxes Chargers

After jinxing the Steelers earlier this season by putting them on the cover before the Titans game, Sports Illustrated this week features the Chargers and Darren Sproles on the cover. This cover is only for West Coast editions (the East Coast cover features the Eagles), so maybe it is worth only half a jinx. Still, maybe Tomlin can use it for motivational material. "Bring on the Steelers" indeed!  We'll see.

haha! you can even imagine him zipping through that too

I’m still shocked that he’s 5’5". That’s amazing. Reminds me of that basketball player, Spudd Webb, I think it was? Was 5’3" or so.

I dare the running game to attack our D

I have that much confidence in them. I know the Chargers will have to take to the air and it won’t be pretty.

Please get rid of the crap Chargers and their Gilligan looking coach and we’ll beat down Collins and their Milly Vanily backfield. Then we can have it out for the Championship of the World. Part III.

surprised you're not rooting for the bolts in this one!

Hope not

I don’t want to see the Steelers face the Ravens again. The Ravens are too good and too proud to lose to the Steelers three times in one season.

don't forget

we have home field if the ravens win – honestly, I think it’s about even playing the titans in their house, and the ravens here – either team should be somewhat beat up. I would like to have some revenge for the towel stomping incident, and it would be all the sweeter in their house…

I really don’t know who to root for.

If baltimore wins, they come to our house and we are in for a brutal nailbiter.
If titans win we have to go to their house and make them pay – they killed us last time.

In the interests of the revenge tour, I think the titans may win out with my support. Studies have shown that we are more likely to beat the ravens though. Can someone convince me who to root for?

Sadly Though

SI predicted us to win the game basically saying it would be easy (they didnt predict a blowout but the way it was worded they basically didnt think it would be close). So does that reverse it?
