Let’s just hope the curse of gracing the cover of SI doesn’t happen at WVU.

Here’s a picture of what the cover looks like:

I can’t wait to see this Robin Williams movie. He plays the role of a fake news comedian that decides to run for president. Imagine John Stewart from the Daily Show running for president. It comes out October 13, 2006. Enjoy the preview:
