There is in sports something called the “Sports Illustrated Jinx”. You get on the cover of Sports Illustrated, and then you are jinxed. (I don’t know if this applies to the swimsuit issue.)
If that is true, should Chicago Cubs fans be worried that Jon Lester is on the cover of Sports Illustrated? No. The Goat will beat Sports Illustrated.
But more importantly, players who aren’t good enough is even a bigger jinx than the Goat.
