"We need you in Abilene next week like Joe Buck and Tim McCarver need to be on the cover of the next Madden."

I received the previous message from Mr. Mason Orr earlier today in reference to my upcoming trip to the Key City for ACU Homecoming 2006 Edition. If you don't understand the reference, please feel free to ask and I will be glad to explain.

As the Sports Guy pointed out recently, the Madden Cover jinx has already surpassed the SI Cover Jinx in terms of cultural relevancy, but it got me thinking, what are some other equivalents of the Madden Cover Jinx?

Being a member of the Kennedy family?

Being named the drummer of Spinal Tap?

Seeing the Ring?
