Opinion Analyzing How Athlete Candidates Fared This Election
Shawn Bradley
OFFICE: Utah House of Representatives
RESULT: Defeated
IMPACT: Utah voters did not care for Bradley's pledge to make Utah the first state to classify dunking on someone a hate crime. Many also saw his run at the state legislature as a calculated stepping stone for an attempt in 2012 to take on Utah incumbent governor Uwe Blab.
Linda McMahon
OFFICE: U.S. Senator from Connecticut
RESULT: Defeated
IMPACT: The rejection of a wrestling candidate may slow the momentum of Chyna's presidential bid. McMahon's defeat also likely ends steroids manufacturers' hopes of receiving federal funds. McMahon has blamed her defeat on the "mean-spirited" press, specifically Mean Gene Okerlund.

Washington at Detroit (-3)
Really, Tom Kowalski? Really?
I mean, I realize it's Halloween and people can be easily spooked. But I'm pretty sure that if a kid dressed up as Matthew Stafford's arm for Halloween, his friends would just laugh at him. In fact, dressing up as a fairy princess is probably a tougher and scarier costume.
My pick: Washington (and to win)
Green Bay at New York Jets (-6)
Up until a few weeks ago, the Packers, Jets, Deanna Favre and Jenn Sterger were the only ones who had seen Brett Favre's dong. When people refer to "the good old days," that's the time they mean.
