Ancient lore has it (OK, not terribly ancient) that the outcome of the last game played at home by the Washington Redskins before a US presidential election predicts who will win the White House.
If the Redskins win, then so does the party which occupies the White House. If they lose, the challenging party wins.
This has actually held true for 17 out of the last 18 elections.
Tonight, it's the Pittsburgh Steelers vs. the Washington Redskins on the Redskin's home turf.
That means Obama's rooting for the Steelers -- and you know who McCain is really rooting for.
GO STEELERS!
UPDATE: Steelers 23, Redskins 6 HA!

John K: Talk about being desparate. Besides, old man Burns, aka Dan Rooney, is a Hussein Obama supporter. Except when it comes to that capital gains tax. Then Rooney wants to sell the team before the end of the year to avoid coming tax increases. Desparate and hypocritical at the same time.
After what happened 4 years ago, I wouldn't put too much stock in the result of the game. Redskins lost, yet incumbent party (Bush) still won. That being said, I hope the Steelers smash the Redskins, if only to doubly piss off (playfully) my Redskin-loving Republican girlfriend.
I couldn't make a troll like John K. up if I tried.

John K: Yes you could Justin, his name is Olbermouth LOL. Hey Justin how about those Rooney's. They get tax money to build a stadium,then endorse a lefty who wants to raise capital gains taxes. So Roony wants to make sure the sell is done before the capital gains tax is in place. LMAO LMAO Justin, you endorse this guy. That is the amusing part. LMAO
Ummm,.....johnk?
1) Some of the grandchildren of Art Rooney Sr. are trying to sell their shares of the team because NFL rules prohibit owners from also being involved in gambling interests.
2) Dan Rooney is not trying to sell his share of the team.
3) Save me the "we have the tape," or whatever, line that you inevitably use to claim that you really do know what you're saying.
Just provide the source.
I bet he'll be rooting for the Dallas Mavericks, you know, because they're so mavericky. ;-)
Maybe if Palin posed like
this --------->>>>>>>>
McCain would win.
John K. -
Get on some meds, dude, because you are not right in the head.
Again, Rooney ISN'T selling the team. How have you missed this? Are you not capable of comprehending what's been in the papers and on the news?
How many times does it have to be explained to you?
