Yes you heard it right. Rush Limbaugh, the so-called "voice of the Republican Party," has teamed up with St. Louis Blues owner Dave Checketts in an effort to buy the awful St. Louis Rams. Good idea? Bad idea? I say HORRIBLE IDEA!
The NFL does not need a Mark Cuban (the very outspoken Dallas Mavericks owner). Rush Limbaugh is loud, obnoxious, and very outspoken. He has no place as an owner of a NFL franchise. Good players and coaches are good for the game; Rush Limbaugh is most certainly not good for the game.
I envision Rush talking a whole bunch of nonsense that eventually gets himself in a lot of trouble with the NFL. Lets not forget about the incident that occurred a few years ago. Rush dabbled in sports during ESPN's NFL pregame show in 2003. He was then forced to resign after stating that Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb was overrated because the media wanted to see a black quarterback succeed. THIS IS THE STUFF I AM TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE! He had his chance in sports and blew it. He needs to stick to politics where he can get away with more jibber jabber such as that.
In any respect, the St. Louis Rams are NOT going to get any better with a change in ownership. They are a washed-up bunch of individuals that needs a rebuilding period. I think Mark Bulger is a name that most of us have forgotten over the years. Bring in a fresh name. If I hadn't looked up the roster for this year, Steven Jackson would be the only name I could pull out my head.
The NFL needs to realize that Rush Limbaugh as an owner would not be a good public relations move. Come on now, do you really want this guy controlling a football team when he can't even control his mouth? Think about it.

Just a quick update on the story.
ReplyDeleteIf Rush really puts in a bid, he will already be down one vote. Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay already told the media that he would not vote for the conservative radio host. Several players have also said that they would not welcome Rush as an owner in the league.
