Everyone knows about the SI Cover Curse and the Madden Cover Curse, but I think I have uncovered a new one: The Overly-Long Magazine Profile Curse. In the October 28th issue of Play: The New York Times Sports Magazine, Michael Lewis had 7139 word article about field-goal kickers and how they are always the scapegoat. Much of this article focused on Adam Vinatieri; we all know how that turned out for him two weeks later.
One day after the Vinatieri story, a profile of Scott Boras appeared in the New Yorker. Now his clients seem to be jumping ship. The Tigers' own Kenny Rogers has given him the boot, and it looks like A-Rod, the crown jewel in Boras' stable of athletes, is thinking about leaving too.
