I would like for T.O. to implode. Preferably 4 years ago. :P

The thing is, the Redskins home game has accurately predicted the
presidential election since 1936, IIRC.
Or there have been an amazing series of coincidences. 17 of them, to be
exact.
I'm going for the coincidence theory, but still, that long of a run,
that's the standard for NFL prediction of an election.
Does Kerry give a damn about football, anyway? I mean, it's not as if
he were from Texas, where Football seems at times to be the national
religion.... ;)

who thinks that if New England's sports mojo all got spent, it got spent
the right way this time!
