Limbaugh sticks foot(ball) in mouth

Being from St. Louis, and being a horribly-suffering Rams fan, this has obviously been big news here. And here is my take on the situation...since I'm sure you're all DYING to know!

Rush was going to be the money behind Dave Checketts, whose company owns the St. Louis Blues. Checketts is well-liked in St. Louis...he may reach loved status this year, depending on how good the Blues wind up being. I supported Rush being an owner...he's obviously a good businessman and he's passionate about football. And he's from Missouri. And Checketts wants to keep the team here. w00t!

Having said that, even Rush's biggest fans have to admit that he's a freaking powder keg. He has said some pretty controversial things over the years, and IMO, some people are rightfully concerned with him being an owner in the NFL. Once DeMaurice Smith spoke against it, I was pretty certain it was a dead deal.

The whole slavery quote thing...no one has been able to provide evidence of this quote. Is it possible that he would say something like that? I think so...but there's nothing out there yet showing this. And people using that quote are wrong in doing so...especially since there are plenty of other ones to use.

Rush's opponents don't need to make anything up to find something stupid and offensive that he's said. There's thousands of hours it recorded somewhere.

Ain't that the truth. The guys is a big dick. But you know money is money it talks. In this day and age I don't think most people care who's money is behind what, in fact if we were to dig deep we may be surprised to find out who is funding what on many levels in our society or political arena. I just think this is a big to do about nothing. Sure Rush is an asshole, screw it I'd spend his money for him. It is not like he is going to be calling plays on game day.
