Cover-ing all the Eagles issues

Uh-oh.

The new Sports Illustrated is out. And there’s good news and bad news in it.

The good news is that is making a big splash about the Eagles and their improbable run to the NFL playoffs, with them now prepping for a showdown with the defending Super Bowl champion New York Giants on Sunday in the Meadowlands.

The bad news is on the cover. Yep, that’s DeSean Jackson, the Eagles hot new rookie wide receiver, newly minted cover stud.

A lot of people believe there is a curse affixed to appearing on the SI cover.

It will now be up the Eagles – and Jackson – to break that curse. A big game against the G-Men, maybe a punt return for a TD, would suffice nicely.

Or I guess we could all just ignore the magazine, at least until the Swimsuit Issue comes out.
