Yea a guy was telling me this yesterday. I've been a skins fan since I first started watching football (because my grandpa was) but Green Bay will probably win.

Probably? The game ended a while ago. Thing posted the score right above you :P

Yea, I just went and asked my dad if they played already. I've been out doing grassroots stuff all day.

Bush supporters were lining our streets. I was doing a lot of honking and waving at them. Its cool that they are doing that, but I doubt they will be winning votes. They need a megaphone so they can really tell people why they need to vote for bush  :P

While it may have been true, the curse on the Red Sox was broken this year. Perhaps this will be broken too? ;)

And the curse that every president elected in a year ending in 00 was assasinated was lifted with Reagon, so -- these things aren't the final deciding factor. I hope.

There was no curse on the Red Sox, our team simply sucked for 86 years.

Gotta love how that one Ref singlehandedly changed the fate of the game(and the future of our country for the next for years.)

If the ref hadn't made that call, the probable outcome for the game would be:
Green Bay: 28
Washington: 21

Unless touchdowns are somehow worth 14 points now.

Did you see the game?  It would have put the redskins up 21-20.  And with a score like that, I'm sure their defense would have held much better, considering they gave up the last touchdown with no time left in the game.
