MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL: STEELERS VS REDSKINS

[Cebby]

The Steelers game is almost irrelevant to the Redskins championship run. That said, the Steelers haven't beaten any good teams, so I'm going with the Redskins.

I'm rooting for the Steelers for political reasons...

Anyone else think ESPN should have made a better choice in interviewers for McCain/Obama? I can barely stand Berman's stumbling, erratic delivery w/athletes. But I think they should have a more polished guy handle this one.

Definitely.

Football is just a game. Politics can affect your lively hood for the next 4 years. Of course, I certainly agree with the notion that 1 vote isn't going to make a huge difference, but it's still more important than a game IMO.

The winner of the Skins home game before the election predicts the winning party with like 94% accuracy.

I think only once did the winner not predict which party was going to win...

That's why I made my post...

i am not positive, but i think i heard that 17 of 17 times the result of the redskins last game before the election predicted the winner. the skins win, the party in office remains in office, the skins lose, so does the party currently in office...
