The Legend of the Lucky Beer

[md20j]

The folks sitting in Section 431 around row 17 (my seat was 10) on Monday night can attest to the veracity of this claim:

When I get my Lucky Beer, good things happen to the 'Skins. Look, it's science. Not a passing statistic but a real, bonifide fact. Lucky Beers = Touchdowns. After I purchased my Lucky Beer on Monday night the Redskins scored their first touchdown two plays later. FACT. Before purchasing said beer, I let everyone know I was going to get it. I'm like Nostradamus.

Then, in the second half, things were kind of stagnant. Well, I had to go get rid of the Unlucky Pee. Did it, and we scored a touchdown. Guys, I can't make this up. It's what happened. It was the Unlucky Pee from my Second Lucky Beer.

The Lucky Beer has only failed me once, and that was the last time I went to a Redskins game. For the record, the 'Skins are now 7-1 when I attend.

That's because of the Lucky Beer.

It even works at home. If you see some incredible feat on TV (Brunell/Moss in the Cowboys game in 2005, Campbell/Moss in the Saints game in 2008, etc.) it's normally because I told my wife "...Holy cow! I've got to get my Lucky Beer!" Even my 8-year old knows it, and was worried about me going to the game because he didn't think I would be able to get a Lucky Beer.

What good luck omens do you have that work for the Redskins? Genuinely interested so I can add to my arsenal of "Awesome Things that Make the Redskins Awesome." Other than, you know, the players and coaches and, of course, the cheerleaders.


Remember, "It's only wierd if it doesn't work". ;-)

It's only crazy if it doesn't work.

Dude, this might be a better joke if we won more home games.

If this was "magic" why wouldn't you do this EVERY game?

[MLSKINS]

Man, I thought this thread said lucky bear.

[Bubble Screen]

Yeah, I read the first part wrong. I thought he said he "sits" in that particular section each week. So my response doesn't fit.

[Mr. Sinister]

Man, I thought this thread said lucky bear.

I did too

Not that there's anything wrong with having a lucky teddy bear of course.

It kills me to have to do it because im such a big fan, but i absolutley can't wear redskins gear on sundays or it completley jinxs the team. When i wear the opposing teams colors (not jerseys just colors) we always win. It has been a source of entertainment with me and my friends over the years but works waaaaay more often than it has any right to.

For the record i dont usually go out of my way to give into the superstition but because of how crazy important these past couple weeks have been for us in terms of playoffs, ive gone out of my way the past three weekends in a row to wear a green tee shirt, a blue and white flannel shirt on thanksgiving, and a red and blue shirt that i threw on as soon as i got off work last night (just in time for the second half lol)

You all can thank me in February

I walk under ladders, run my nails across blackboards (as if there are still blackboards), break mirrors on purpose and speed up to run over black cats. I do all this on Sundays that I need a win. So no, it is not you, it is me, I am the juxtastipoint. (made up word)

[HeluCopter29]

Is this some scam to get us to buy you tickets?

This isn't a real word.

juxtaminute let me look in my dictionary. lol.

[Inigo Montoya]

I have an attire ritual that starts on Thursday... I won't wash certain jerseys and completely believe my jersey choice has an effect on the outcome of the game!

[Chadwiko]

After the Carolina game, my 2012 Draft Redskins New Era hat arrived from the USA.

I've worn it every game since - Eagles, Cowboys, Giants.

SCIENCE.

[afkidd]

makes sense if you don't think about it.

[cphil006]

It's like magic... but real.
