<p>Following yesterday's <a href=" http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/10/12/AR2008101202246.html">pathetic loss</a> to the lowly <strong>Rams</strong>, a poster on <a href=" http://www.extremeskins.com/">Extremeskins.com</a> writes:</p>
<blockquote><p>A few of my friends and I had bad omens happen to us. I laughed them off at first but there's no ignoring them after the fact we loss a game we should have won.</p>
<p>First example, My good friend and fellow Skins fan, who lives in Colorado sent a mass email Saturday night saying, a long haired sheep (ram) jumped out in front of his car and almost killed him and we shouldn't take this game lightly.</p>
<p>He sent the email to the same 20 or so friends as we do every week. We talk about the game pre and post. Most of us laughed it off.<br />
I was glad he was okay. But I told him the ram wanted to be put out of his misery. Jokes on me.</p>
<p>Then, as I do every week, I nerd out and simulate the game on Madden. I always play as the Skins and play next weeks opponent. I got the game around week two and have won against the computer on the first try every time, not against the Rams. I lost 4 in a row. I had to turn down the difficulty but I knew I was cheating myself.</p>
<p>So question is, anybody else have any bad signs?</p></blockquote>
