Thanks to a little research and the help of the undead wide web, we were able to put together a list of some of the spookiest true sports ever. In no particular order, here they are:
1.Redskins predict presidential election?
A Washington Redskins football victory in their last game before an election has meant that the incumbent American president will lose the race in 15 of the last 16 elections. Baby Bush was the only one to break that trend. Of all the times to end the streak…
- And the award for strangest sports story involve a goat is..
A fan named William “Billy Goat” Sianis tried to bring his pet goat into game four of the 1945 World Series, but ushers told him and the goat to take a hike. On his way out Sianis said the Cubs would never win the finals again on his way and so far his curse has held. That is a little spooky. - Death is upon us
Bill Barilko scored the Stanley Cup-winning goal in 1951, then died in a plane crash that summer. His body was found the year the Toronto Maple Leafs next won the Stanley Cup, 1962. I am shivering all over now!!
4. The curse of the Forum
Montreal has not won a Stanley Cup since they left the Montreal Forum in 1996, which is the longest drought in team history. Some say the ghosts of the Forum are behind it, but I think the team just sucks.
5. No pictures today, please
From 2002-2004 the player that has appeared on the cover of John Madden NFL Football has spent the year on the disabled list. Nuts to this! I am outta here!!
