Jordy's Cover

Well deserved and about time.

Knowing about the SI jinx, Belicheat probably paid SI to do it now.  He never leaves a stone unturned. 

Well, it's about time to break that damn Jinx.

SI has posted the article accompanying Jordy's cover online:

Recommended. Very well done. Think he is my current favorite player, a good man who hasn't forgotten his roots.

EDIT:  One of my favorite parts of the article, below.

... Packers general manager Ted Thompson leans back in a conference room swivel chair in his Lambeau Field office. In 2008 he selected Nelson with Green Bay's first draft choice, No. 36 overall. "There was no concern on our part that Jordy couldn't run fast enough," he says. "I guess you'd say the rest is history."

Stone cold boss.

With a bud light on the rocks and a big ol **** eatin grin.

Revis had a pretty good game against Jordy, but found out defending him is an all-day job.

Jordy was a very good receiver coming out of college, but has become a great one by working hard. IMO, he's always been an elite WR, but over the last 2-3 years, has (too) quitely became the best of the best.

jordy is the epitome of packer people

Thanks for bumping this once they put the article online, it was fantastic.

Gotsta love me some Jordy!!

Great story.

I'll never forget when he was drafted. I had been at college orientation all day, but thankfully because of the delayed start was able to be home when it started at 3pm. Originally surprised at the trade out of the 1st round, I became surprised, confused, and enraged when I saw Nelson's name pop up on the ticker. I'd never heard of the guy, and we surely didn't need no stinkin WR after getting Jennings and Jones and already having Driver and having a thin secondary. (I specifically remember uttering "Jordy FREAKING Nelson!" on a repetitive bais. After cooling off and seeing his stats, I felt a little better, but still didn't get why a WR was the first pick and that TT was still too cute. After that, I wanted him to do well, but had to suffer through the 2010 season and a roommate who had him on his fantasy team yelling out "Enough of this white bitch who can't catch!!"

Six years later, Ted Thompson is still in charge of the Green Bay Packers. I'm gainfully semi-employed. You do the math.
