Sports Ill Cover + Lance = death
- Thread starter LordOpie
- Start date
Well SI put the University of Connecticut men's and women's hoops team on the cover last year as their preseason #1's and both teams went on to win their respective championships, so there is some shred of hope for Lance. 
Besides, I can't imagine this is Lance's first SI cover.

I'm a pretty big Lance fan, but I think this is Ulrich's year. Or....a Euro dark- horse? We'll see, it all begins Saturday!
I will be pulling especially hard for him this year. It would be so cool for him personally and as an American to eclipse Indurain and the other legends.
I really want Lance to win but if he doesn't I hope it is another American (i.e. Tyler Hamilton). Hamilton will be my favorite once Lance leaves the scene. It's good to see the American impact on a very European sport.
Oh and good thing he wasn't on the Madden cover, now that thing is a deathwish.
Holy crap, you ain't kidding!!!RideND said:
well curses are not all theyre cracked up to be.
for instance the EA Sports cover curse could be broken soon. Al Pujols is on the cover of MLB and hes still doing OK. Hasnt gotten into a car wreck (Dany Heatly), Broken leg (Mike Vick), sucked (Tejada, Iglinla), or f'ed up his foot (Eddie George)
haha, listen to me debunking curses living in Boston
/go Yanks!

Let's not forget Culpepper (knee injury) and Marshall Faulk (bunch of injuries).luken8r said:
Has anybody heard/know who is on this years cover of Madden?
Ray Lewis. He can kiss his knee, achilles tendon, or shoulder good bye. 
Well he started last year already, with that partially separated shoulder. That could be a lingering problem.

I wish the Tour was already over. I hate anticipation. I am very impatient.
Hey didn't know that Buckner was back with the Red Soxs.luken8r said:
Lance is the man.
No worries.
No worries.
Not me but very curious who it might be. Is it a hard tail or a f/s? What color? I won't even lock my far less "thief"-attracting commuter bike anywhere in the city. Job requirement numero uno when interviewing is bike can be kept five feet from my work space at all times. I pass the Museum on my gotta-get-there-quick route, maybe I'll pop in and check it out sometime.Mackie said:
If he wins, is this number 5 or number 6. See if it's number 6, I don't get it. Woudn't you quit after 5? Seems more logicical. Unless he's going for 10.
It's number 6, and the reason he's going for it is because its never been done before.
No one has ever won six. There are four (or is it five) with five wins.Knuckleslammer said:If he wins, is this number 5 or number 6. See if it's number 6, I don't get it. Woudn't you quit after 5? Seems more logicical. Unless he's going for 10.

i've heard about this bike before, like a couple years ago. it's a wonder that a bmw (park bike? link? tmx?) hasn't gotten stolen yet, especially since it's always parked in the same place.chromegoddess said:
I thought that with Vinokourov and Ullrich together they'd be unstoppable, but with Vin out I think Lance has it in the bag. The end.
I think the attacks will come more often and from more places than last year.
Ulrich is stronger and on a better team, even without Vinnie.
Tyler will have TWO collarbones and a stronger team than CSC was.
Heras and Liberty Segundo (SP?) look pretty scary too.
Mayo is a badass, but he can't TT, and Euskatel dosen't have the horsepower to hold the jersey outside of the mountains.
I dont think Julich and CSC are a real threat, but he will attack.
I think this will be the toughest Tour for lance to date.
Man I can't wait!!!!

Tyler! Tyler! Tyler!
aha y'know i really enjoyed watching last years tour, when i could get the chance. i can't stand watching mt. bike video's cuz it always just jone's me out to ride. But i really can't stand riding my road bike very often, so i can actually sit down and enjoy the race.
curses are dumb, the only one that i believed in was Gregg Brady's curse when he found the tikin on the beach in Hawaii, then he almost drowned surfing...... some spooky stuff there.....

Because he's a New Englander too, or are you anti-Lance?johnbryanpeters said:
