For all you Green Bay Packer haters out there
THE WASHINGTON REDSKINS RULE. This one has an impressive winning streak--for 72 years, the victory or defeat of the Washington Redskins in their last game before the election has predicted whether the incumbent party holds the White House. If the Redskins lose or tie, the incumbent party loses the election. If the Redskins win, so does the incumbent party. By any measure the accuracy of the Redskin rule is notable. It has correlated with presidential electoral outcomes in 18 of the past 18 elections back to Franklin Roosevelt in 1932.

The Redskins last game before the election is with the Packers on October 31.

1. Interesting.
I'd be cheering for the Pack against division scum like the Skins anyway.

Peyton Manning showed pill-popping boy Favre what real QBing is today.

12. Uh
Actually, they had similar statistics for the day.

And the Squawks will still choke like the overhyped punks that they are.

14. well, if you read my posts
You will see that I predict nothing but crap for the Seahawks, being that they are in a weak division.

And stats do not matter, the FINAL SCORE does, and Green Bay got their cheese cut.

11. Psychiatric help is available.
A Bears fan CANNOT be a Cheezwhiz fan. It defies common decency.

13. LOL
I was a GI brat, born in Illinois, but my favorite place I ever lived was in Madison Wisconsin when my dad was stationed at Truax Field. Can't help it, I like 'em both although my walls are covered with pictures of Soldier Field. :D

15. Any team that gets Jim McMahon a 2nd superbowl ring
can't be all bad. Plus they're owned by the people, not the McCaskeys. Thats two points for the packers.
