RJ (not THAT RJ) Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 (edited) A thing of beauty is a joy for ever: Its loveliness increases; it will never Pass into nothingness; but still will keep A bower quiet for us, and a sleep Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing. Therefore, on every morrow, are we wreathing A flowery band to bind us to the earth, Spite of despondence, of the inhuman dearth Of noble natures, of the gloomy days, Of all the unhealthy and o'er-darkened ways Made for our searching: yes, in spite of all, Some shape of beauty moves away the pall From our dark spirits. Such the sun, the moon, Trees old, and young, sprouting a shady boon For simple sheep; and such are daffodils With the green world they live in; and clear rills That for themselves a cooling covert make 'Gainst the hot season; the mid-forest brake, Rich with a sprinkling of fair musk-rose blooms: And such too is the grandeur of the dooms We have imagined for the mighty dead; All lovely tales that we have heard or read: An endless fountain of immortal drink, Pouring unto us from the heaven's brink. EDIT: That's from John Keats. Look it up, Thurman. Edited September 28, 2011 by RJ (not THAT RJ)
Cotton Fitzsimmons Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 That picture is THE WHIP... YE OLE may have to purchase the cover and get it framed.
The Poojer Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 pretty sure you have to save the file to your computer and upload the jpg from there...keeping it within the size limit So we can't post actual images in the threads here?
Armchair GM Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 I'm conditioned to fear the SI jinx, but that is an awesome picture. Thankfully, no. Notice how unlike 90% of fan boards, this one is actually readable? Is it as bad as the Madden cover for individual players?
bbb Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 The only thing that I don't like about it is that it is one of their new "regional" covers. I hate that they do that now..........It used to be that the cover was the cover......Now the jinx can be diluted into as many as 6 different covers!
DDD Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 For those that insist the Bills get no love from the media...win and they will come!
Billsguy Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 "]Fixed What a huge improvement in the new uniforms! I think it helped everyone bury the past.
Buftex Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 Thanks, Chevyvan. Thank God! I thought it would be Fitz.. I am so sick of hearing about the Bills...
The Wiz Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 Not a moment too soon since my wife just signed me up for a subscription last week. Hope I still get this one!
zow2 Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 That would be so cool to have been seated in the first few rows and see yourself on the cover. Great pic! Now we're doomed against Cinci.
BfloBillsFan Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 That is an incredible picture. Love the blue. I think it would be awesome to get the whole stadium to wear the royal blue and get a Sea of Blue in the Ralph!
Last Guy on the Bench Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 That picture is THE WHIP... YE OLE may have to purchase the cover and get it framed. I immediately color printed it and stuck it up in my new office here at the University of Cape Town in South Africa. No one here has a clue as to what it is, but it is making me very happy.
dpbillsfan Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 "Bad things, man. Bad things!" I got the Bruce and Flutie SI's signed by both back in 99. This new cover just looks awesome.
Realist Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 Damn, now I have to change my prediction for this week to a Cinci win. Seriously, awesome cover!
LewPort71 Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 My new wallpaper on the work computer. Great pic
bbb Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 My new wallpaper on the work computer. Great pic Mine, too! First thing I did.
Billsrhody Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 Scarrrrrrryyyyy! I think the last time we had the Bills on the cover of SI was the last time we beat the Pats, with Sam Adams rumbling, bumbling, stumbling towards the endzone. Hope it doesn't start another 15 game losing streak against the Cheatriots. It is a awesome pic though. Sam Adams rumbling, bumbling and stumbling! <--------
Lv-Bills Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 The only thing that I don't like about it is that it is one of their new "regional" covers. I hate that they do that now..........It used to be that the cover was the cover......Now the jinx can be diluted into as many as 6 different covers! It seems that you are correct. Still cool though.
