Redskins are losing 14-6 to a team they are suppose to handily beat. Not that I believe this rubbish, but it would be fun if they lost.

I’m a big Redskins fan, but if it’d help get Obama out of the White Hut, I’ll root against them, no problem.

I saw a thread a while back that showed where since 1845 when the present 1st Tuesday in Nov. election day was set, the Election has occurred on Nov. 6th six times, and each time the Republican has won. Meaningless, of course, but a fun stat.

BTW, there is a revised Redskins Rule:

If the Redskins lose their last home game before the election, the party that won the previous popular vote will lose the current election.

If the modified rule is used, then it's 18/18 even though Bush was the incumbent in 2004, because Gore won the popular vote in 2000.

And hey, even 17/18 is a hell of a lot better track record than the pollsters, and involves just as logic as they apparently use :)

Only problem is the last time this predictor was wrong was 2004 an election year looking remarkably similar to this one.

Awesome!

Like the beer commercial says about pointing the labels toward the kicker:

It isn’t weird, if it works.

Panthers fan since ‘95 here. Carolina can lead by 28 points with under 2 minutes to play and still give a game away. Don’t count out the Skins yet.

Not that I believe this rubbish, but it would be fun if they lost.

We don't have to believe it for it demoralize the hopium eaters.

[The KG9 Kid]

Everyone else picked the Redskins to beat Carolina, but I picked the Panthers by 13 points in the FreeRepublic Pro Football Pick'Em on Yahoo! Sports.

I did it precisely because of this silly 'Redskin Rule'.

Superstition is nonsense -- er, knock on wood -- but I'll take the 'Redskin Rule' win anyway.

First and last time I will ever root for the over-rated, petulant Cam Newton.
