Lori Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 Figured since most everyone else has been complaining about "the media" lately, I'd throw my whine into the mix: http://www.flickr.com/photos/sports_illustrated/3567265822/ Indy 500, NBA and NHL playoffs ... so, naturally, they're running a cover shot of a guy who hasn't played a game since September 2008. Yes, I know his return to practice is newsworthy. But this newsworthy? Practice, man. We're talking about practice.

The only time I come across a copy of SI is in the rack or on a table at a physicians' waiting room. And for obvious reasons, picking up and paging through community property there is...risky. I bring my own paperback.
Glass To The Arson Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 Too bad he's not on the cover of Madden. Surprised he isn't yet He will be soon
Ramius Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 Great. Peter King has coverage of Tom Brady. I'm guessing that the pages of his article will be stuck together when i get my issue.
KD in CA Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 Practice, man. We're talking about practice. .....in May. Everybody is focused on football in May.

JinWPB Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 So now we have the "Sports Illustrated cover curse" working for us which is good.....
wonderbread Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 After reading that article I almost choked up...I missed Tom Brady tearing up our defense. Long live King Tom and Emperor Billicheat.

Yes, I know his return to practice is newsworthy. But this newsworthy? Practice, man. We're talking about practice. Indy 500?? That was a joke, right? You suggest a cover story about a race that lost it's relevance over 20 years ago? Hockey? Fewer viewers than the Indy 500. NBA? The last issue of SI was a cover on LeBron James---a total love-piece on a guy who has won zero rings and is in danger of getting sent home by the Orlando Magic (!).
Lori Posted May 26, 2009 Author Posted May 26, 2009 Just got a message from one of the Packers beat writers: "Don't tell Favre, but I think Peter King has moved on."
Bullpen Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 Well that issue will go straight from the mailbox to the trash can without being read then.

The Senator Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 Indy 500?? That was a joke, right? You suggest a cover story about a race that lost it's relevance over 20 years ago? Hockey? Fewer viewers than the Indy 500. NBA? The last issue of SI was a cover on LeBron James---a total love-piece on a guy who has won zero rings and is in danger of getting sent home by the Orlando Magic (!). Indy 500 lost its relevance 20 years ago? Is that why they have over 400,000 spectators every year, and why ABC/ESPN expanded coverage this year? link The Indy 500 is even more relevant now that CART/Champ Car has disappeared as a separate body and reunited with IRL. (Guess all that publicity and coverage of the IRL, Danica Patrick, Milka Duno, etc. is lost on lovers of that handsome Tommie Brady*.)
VOR Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 All those sports are in season. Football isn't. Don't try and talk sense with the Pats fan in Bills fan's clothing.
atlbillsfan1975 Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 Too bad he's not on the cover of Madden. And why do you think that is?? I was just thinking about that. He is argueably the greatest player of this generation. Yet never been on the most popular football game of the last 15 years? Think maybe he is suspicious?? The whole Madden cover curse?? Oh and btw, i have not played that game in probably 12 years or so since i was in college. I could not even probably turn the game on. Just think its an interesting/paranoid question.
BuffaloBud Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 Now that King has moved to Boston from NJ will we see more coverage of Brady?
