Forget the SI Cover Jinx, I Give You…The Jersey Jinx
I thought jinxes only worked in fairy tales,
believed as true by some, but not by me.
Nothin’s out to get me, that’s the way it seemed,
optimism brightened all my dreams.
And then I saw the news, now I’m a believer!
Miami's Ronnie Brown -- OUT FOR SEASON
Everybody knows about the dreaded Sports Illustrated cover jinx, right? Well, I’m not going to talk about that. That’s just crazy! Does anyone actually believe that stuff? Not me. No. Never!
I’m going to talk about something far scarier: The Jersey Jinx.
Torn Up in Titletown
Nobody likes change. Sure, sometimes the end result can be a wonderfully glorious thing, but with change always comes a little bit of sadness as you usher out the old and welcome in the new.
I know Aaron Rodgers has been the Packers QB for two years now, but this Sunday, Packer fans across the world will have to wrap their head around something entirely different and not a little bit painful: Our beloved No. 4–the man we’ve cherished for 16 years and revered as a football god– will play on the hallowed Lambeau Field–the frozen tundra where he brought hundreds of thousands of fans to tears with his boyish charm and killer right arm–in a purple Vikings jersey.
Lions and Tigers and Bears (oh my!)
Lions may be scary in real life–I think it’s safe to say I wouldn’t like to come face to face with one in a dark alley, or ever–this week shouldn’t pose too much of a threat for Packer Backers.
Coming off a bye week, the Pack should feel healthy, well-rested and itching for a NFC North victory. Fans are anxiously awaiting the return of Chad Clifton–he was out against the Vikes due to an ankle injury and his absence was heavily noticed in the eight sacks the purple people had on our QB. Here’s hoping that practice goes well this week, and Clifton returns to his rightful position of left tackle. The addition of offensive tackle Mark Tauscher to our roster should help our o-line protect Rodgers tight end a bit more as well.
That Hurt.
Attention Ted Thompson: Brett Favre had a message for you last night during the Packers 30-23 loss to the Vikings. And he spelled it out pretty clearly: R-E-V-E-N-G-E.
What can I say? Favre was every inch of the quarterback that the Packer franchise came to know, love and worship for 16 years. With no turnovers in sight, Favre went 24 for 31 and connected for three touchdown passes and 271 yards. Not too shabby.
The Old vs. the Green and Gold
When Brett Favre declared that he would be wearing purple this season, the next United States Civil War almost commenced. Wisconsites had their pitchforks ready and were prepared to run the state line with their #4s burning.
Alas, war did not break out… well, not yet. There will be blood, however, on Monday night when the Packers take on the Vikings in the Minneapolis Metrodome. And all I can say is Brett Favre (or as I more commonly refer to him, Judas Favre) better be ready for battle.
