Early voters are standing in lines up to six hours long, the latest polls are in from the swing states, and we're just about ready to elect a new leader of the free world.
Screw that noise - it's time for the weekly non-gaming-site gaze into the football end of the crystal ball (with, of course, a campaign theme):
-- Detroit Lions at Chicago Bears: For years, fans all over Detroit expressed their desire for woeful general manager Matt Millen to get the boot (sounds a little like a certain president The Swami knows). Since Millen got the Ol' Heave-Ho, the Lions are 0-4, and 0-7 on the season. Something tells the Swami this mess (like the economy) is gonna take a while to fix. The hanging chad goes to: the Bears.
-- Dallas Cowboys at New York Giants: Eerie similarities here. When the race for the White House began in March, McCain held a slight lead over Obama. When the NFL season started, the Cowboys were assumed to be slightly better than the rest of the league. Both the Republicans and Cowboys have fallen since they started at the top. Even stranger, there are rumors that McCain and Cowboys' owner Jerry Jones may be related. Swami predicts the fall for both will continue. The hanging chad goes to: the Giants.
-- New England Patriots at Indianapolis Colts: In honor of the election, The Swami honors the ultimate politician, Patriot coach Bill Belichick. The man will do anything he can to win on the field. And like politicians of the past, he scores when he can off the field as well. The hanging chad goes to: the Patriots.
-- New York Jets at Buffalo Bills: Unbeknownst to The Swami, Jet quarterback Brett Favre is apparently running for office. Here's a sneak peak at his campaign video, where Favre plays up a politician's strongest virtues. Bottom line is Favre always gets what he wants. The hanging chad goes to: the Jets.
