Redskins can predict presidential victory

The Washington Redskins have an uncanny ability of picking the winner of the presidential election. I don’t remember exactly how it goes. I think it works this way: if the Redskins win on the Sunday (or Monday night) before the election, the party in power retains the White House. The Redskins were wrong in 2004, but they’ve been right far beyond what would be expected between two completely unrelated events.
