| It's close. Both of these curses are well documented through Sports history. The latest SI curse is that Derek Jeter was on the cover of SI last week after the A's Series and he batted .118 (2-17) in the ALCS and really was a no show. There are many many more curses, the SI cover curse has caused. Some recent ones, they picked the Red Sox to win this year's World Series and the Oregon Ducks to win College Football's National Championship. Oregon got crushed by Fresno State first week of the season.
Wanted to get people thoughts on this. Any other examples.

| Opie curse hands down. Yankees have been on the cover of SI at least 6 or 7 times in the last few years, still winning championships.
i'd bet against opie's pick 10 times out of 10.
And I'm still here waiting there, to catch you if you fall
I don't know why I care so much, when I shouldn't care at all

| Opie defied the Sports Gods by saying his curse was over and the Yankees made history, meanwhile the Islanders lost in heartbreak fashion. Opie curse more stronger.
And remember that every NFL team that has O & A in it's city failed to cover the spread Week 1, the odds of that are astronomical.
Opie Sports curse, worse than the Anthrax.

| I'd have to say SI since the Opie Curse never maimed anyone.
Nomar was on the SI Cover this spring and ended up going in for surgery that week.

| The 1980 USA olympic hockey team graced the cover of SI and we haven't heard from them since.
