It’s official, the NFL has picked John Kerry to win the upcoming presidential election. How? It turns out that the last home game by the Washington Redskins before a presidential election has predicted the outcome of that election each time since 1936. If Washington wins, then the incumbent or party of the incumbent wins. If their opponent wins, the incumbent loses. This strange coincidence is documented by snopes.com.
It turns out that the last Washington Redskins home game was played on October 31 against the Green Bay Packers, and the Packers won 28-14. Look for a Kerry win on November 2nd.

I’m amused by this, and if it holds true again this year, I’ll be even more amused. If it fails to hold true, well, it wouldn’t be the first time that this President has done something historic re: elections, given that he actually gained ground in a first-term off-year Congressional election cycle, something that virtually never happens.
It’ll be interesting either way it goes … and I’ll be equally frustrated no matter who is elected. :lol:

Well, I guess there’s no reason for the Kerry fans to go out and vote, since it’s a foregone conclusion, eh? ;)
What most people fail to realize is that the miracle has already happened… the Packers actually won a game this season! That’s far more momentous than any poxy national election. I mean, they hold these elections regular every four years, but the Packers aren’t nearly as consistent about winning games.

Yeah, they haven’t been doing too well this year, have they? :)

I’m still trying to figure out which is harder on my brain … that John keeps up with the NFL or that Brad does. :boggle:

Bah, I don’t keep up with the NFL, I just assume the Packers are losing. If they aren’t, they should be.
(Actually, a long time ago before the internet was invented, I wrote an article on a certain BBS about how to pay attention to sports with the least amount of effort possible, so as not to appear socially inept. :) I try to ignore sports as much as possible while still reading enough about it to prevent my gender card from being revoked.)
