Manning Makes Sports Illustrated Cover

[Denver Native (Carol)]

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- For a third time this month, the Broncos are back on the cover of Sports Illustrated.

On the heels of a standout 400-yard, two-touchdown passing performance in the Broncos’ 26-16 win over the Patriots in the AFC Championship Game, quarterback Peyton Manning appears on one of the magazine’s two national covers this week with the headline “10 Things We Think We Think.”

Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman appears on the other.

The cover story features analysis on the game from Sports Illustrated’s The MMQB staff, including Peter King’s prediction for the big game.

Yet another Bronco offense/Peyton Manning record: number of SI cover jinxes smashed.

Heh, I couldn't help a sigh of relief when I saw they put out TWO covers, and Sherman's on the other. Guess SI doesn't want to be accused of jinxing the SB. :tongue: Although, after they responded to Belicheats comments with an article about how the refs should be intently watching to flag thuggery by a 5'9" double-concusssed WR rather than the brazenly self-proclaimed "Legion of Boom," I'm not sure SI can claim to be unbiased.

To summarize: Denver's 1-0 in SBs wearing blue, 1-1 wearing white and 0-2 wearing orange. Third time's the charm...?

Dallas, Washington, San Fran, Seattle
3rd time: We wore white vs. SF. So, my bad; our All Time SB record is 1-0 in blue, 1-2 in white and 0-2 in orange.

I think they forgot that we reached a SB before Elway, SB XII, in which we lost to Dallas while wearing orange.

[CoachChaz]

Just to reiterate...the SB logo is in this one.

NFC teams are designated as the home in odd numbered SBs, AFC teams in even numbered SBs. We wore orange in SB XXIV

Right you are. :redface:

No, they mentioned that one in the article; they evidently forgot SB XXIV, and since I wasn't a Broncos fan then I forgot that Denver wore orange then, too: My bad.

[Dzone]

This just means it is time to win one in Orange
