SI cover this week
I was wondering what team would make the cover:
The Eagles beat the defending champs,
The Ravens beat the AFC #1 seed,
Arizona makes it to the NFC Championship for their first time,
The Steelers beat an 8-8 team that at one point was 4-8...yes 4-8
the cover is....drum roll, please..............
Of course the steelers...who else? Please. "Living Large"? Thats a joke. They beat the Chargers.

I'm guessing its because they are targeting the largest fanbase left in the playoffs. Or it could be because they are the highest seed still in the playoffs. If the Ravens win this week, Flacco or the Defense will be on the cover no doubt, but they have to prove they can beat the Steelers with this group first.

Re: SI cover this week
Agreed. Personally- it makes sense. Picking from any of the other upset teams would be tough. Pittsburgh was the only favorite to prevail. That said, I'd rather it be them on the cover than us.
Don't give us any reason to lose the "perceived slights" from the media in the locker room. An SI cover could ruin it all! :)"Sorry officer, nothing wrong here. I'm just watching the Ravens game!"

Re: SI cover this week
Glad we can still play the disrespect card on occasion -- I didn't feel right until I turned on ESPN countdown and saw everyone except TJ vote for the Titans . .
Well SI devoted had 3 out of the 4 wild card winners the week BEFORE on the covers -- the only missing team was the Ravens !
I'll be fine if we hit the cover once we win :ww: the Super Bowl

Re: SI cover this week
Yea, if the Ravens finally are good enough to actually win a game against these guys - they've lost the last 3 out of 4 contests - then we should make the cover on our way to Tampa, which is all that matters anyway. If not, they'll become couch potatoes just like the rest of us and watch the game within the comfort and safety of their cozy little lounge chairs.

Re: SI cover this week
Would you expect any other team on the cover. With the Colts and the Patriots out of the playoffs the next darling team is the Steelers, they deserve it as are the top seed left in the playoffs. I would had to re-word the cover a little bit, because I don't see them as the unstoppable team. I think Ben should be on the cover for Madden football next year- talk about cover jinx!

Re: SI cover this week
Don't they usually do multiple covers for this sort of thing? I seem to recall them doing four separate covers for the final four in the NCAAs for example.

There is another theory which states that this - has - already - happened…

Re: SI cover this week
I know why they picked the Steelers.
But isn't the most disrespected team the Cardinals???
No one picked them to get out of the first round.
I'm sick of all the waiting. When will Sunday get here????
