Panthers Playing In 2012 Election Game

from the Panthers' schedule:

Sun. Nov. 4 at Washington Redskins FedEx Field 1:00 p.m. FOX

The eyes of the nation will be on Panthers vs. Redskins this season, as the winner of the Redskins' last home game before the presidential election historically correlates very strongly with the outcome of the presidential race. Troubling if you're a Panthers/Obama supporter. Panthers/Romney supporters shouldn't have any mixed feelings, though. Hey, if we're gonna have a hundred different threads about the Madden Curse, this at least deserves a mention.

For the uninitiated (from about.com): "In 18 out of the last 19 elections, when the Redskins have won their final home game prior to the election, the incumbent has held the White House. The one exception to the Redskins Rule was 2004, when the Green Bay Packers beat the Redskins, but John Kerry still went on to lose President Bush. This year the Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Washington Redskins in a blowout, portending a possible Obama landslide."

    • I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50. 
    • And don’t worry about Bryce he will be great… Peyton Manning had a horrible rookie year too 😂
    • Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
