KERRY WINS, KERRY WINS...
Oh yes, so true. Never been wrong..

It's a fact that a Professional Football teams determines who wins the Presidential election.. That is true, never been wrong in it' history.


Here's why!. The Washington Redskins has a unbroken record to the fact, if they WIN on a Sunday before the Presidential election, the incumbent or party stays in office. If they LOSE the challenger wins the White House.

Guess who lost today!...





WASHINGTON REDSKINS.

2. Makes Sense
Or at least as much sense as relying on Florida's voting apparatus to choose the next prez.

11. Okay, that reminds me of a joke.
A free agent player was trying to decide what team to sign up with.
He was visiting with the Cowboys & saw a gold phone in the locker room. When he asked what the phone was for he was told it was a direct line to God. When he asks if he could call God he was told it would cost $10,000. He decided to pass.
Then he went to visit the Bears and sees a very similar phone in their locker room. Once again he asks about the phone & one again he is told he can phone God, but here it will cost him $8,000.
The players final visit is with the Packers. When he sees another gold phone in their locker room he asks how much it will cost to call God. He is surprised when he is informed that the call is free. Confused he question why is cost thousands in the other locker room.
"Well in Green Bay it's a local call."

8. I wouldn't take that metaphor too far.
Washington could have won the game were it not for a touchdown being called back on a penalty. A reexamination of the play footage shows that the call as stated on the field was erroneous. The controversy is still not settled, but the game is over, and there's nothing Washington can do about it.

In other words, Green Bay and Washington just replayed the election of 2000.

9. Kerry wins
Susan Estrich was on Faux earlier today. She could hardly contain her glee. She said she had inside info. that Kerry will win and we'll know Tuesday night. She's taking bets.

13. The Packers won by 14 though
not 7.

Plus the game was fairly close up until the end and then the Packers pulled way ahead - Maybe Kerry will end up doing the same :-)

But what about the all important Halloween mask sales? That's another supposed sign. I've heard mixed results on that one.

15. That is AT BUFFALO...
the streak refers only to the redskins last HOME game before the election...find the score for the last home game for the redskins that year....I bet they won.

19. You're calling this a 'fact' that the NFL determines elections?
Is my sarcasm/satire meter broken today? :wtf: :eyes: :wtf:
