Here we go Steelers! Here we GO!
According to ESPN, the last 17 presidential elections have been predicted by a Redskins win or loss.

Redskins win, the incumbent party wins.

Redskins lose, the incumbent party loses.

They're playing the Steelers tonight.

Here we go Steelers! Here we GO!

9. Ain't THAT the truth!
The NFL's most Bush League team. :puke:

Over 40 years of sub-mediocre performance. If they were a public school, they'd be closed.

8. Indeed!
ESPN confirms the score/game Oct 31 vs. Green Bay
and the National Archives confirms the election date Nov 2.

I guess it depends on whether or not you believe 2004 was stolen.

:shrug:

ESPN seems to have not vetted the claim, I stand corrected.

12. This was a sign
The streak was broken in 2004. It reached 17 elections, or every presidential election from 1936 to 2004. See: http://www.snopes.com/politics/ballot/redskins.asp

5. Are you serious? As a Browns fan ... I find this distasteful.
However, I will suck it up and produce my own terrible towel and root the Steelers on. Even if I vomit every time I yell for Big Ben.

10. LOL
There are a lot of Steeler fans puking with you right now!

Are they trying to throw the election?

I doubt it judging from this:

7. why are the Skins wearing RED at home? The home team wears white....
The uniforms look like older models as well - the leg stripe and all....

16. You must be a 'boy fan. Home teams usually wear color jersey at home
and white jerseys on the road. It is the home team's choice. That is why the Cowboys almost always wore white. Then some other teams started messing with their minds and choosing to wear white at home when they were playing Dallas.

30. Leftwich is a helluva QB ... great arm, good scramble.
In a way, I'm reminded of Montana.
