Redskins Football Games Predict Election Winner

jangobongo writes "The folks that investigate urban legends at Snopes.com have looked into the rumor going around on the internet that says, "The outcome of Washington Redskins football games has correctly predicted the winner of every U.S. presidential election since 1936." Their findings? It's true! The predictive game for this year will happen on October 31 vs. Green Bay. Which team are you gonna root for?"

You forgot the clincher: two years later, college students would recount the marbles, and find out that the Redskins had, in fact, won.

You could also probably mention how certain people with names similar to, but not exactly the same as certain ineligible players were not allowed in the game.
