Go Home Rush Limbaugh

[Edwina's Secretary]

Still not answering the question!

Why was this a Red Letter Day for Free Speech?

Does Al Sharpton own a team?

[Lady's Human]

Al doesn't own a team, he doesn't have the money for it.

He, however, lead the charge against Limbaugh buying the team.

The free speech comment is a throw away, really, just a figure of speech tossed in.

Ole Rush is just a big crybaby. Seems he already has history with
Pro sports.


Quote:
Limbaugh's history hurt his participation in the bid. In 2003, he was forced to resign from ESPN's "Sunday NFL Countdown" after saying of the Eagles' Donovan McNabb: "I think what we've had here is a little social concern in the NFL. The media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well."

According to transcripts posted on his Web site, in 2007 Limbaugh said: "The NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it."

The comments about McNabb were why the NFL was in such a huff about him possibly buying part of a team.......but no one said a damned thing about the comments for 3-4 days.

Tom Jackson and Michael Irvin were on set with Limbaugh at the time, and neither one of them skipped a beat, they kept on discussing what they were talking about.

Given Mr. Irvin's mouth, if there was a real problem with what was said, I believe he would have said something. He's not exactly known for reserving comments on statements.

Was there this much fuss when Bud Selig, et al, wouldn't hear of allowing Mark Cuban to buy the Chicago Cubs? For much the same reason - too much controversy

Perhaps they should have let him - he had the $$$ - and now the Cubs are filing for bankruptcy.

The bankruptcy is just a way to get a sale done quickly.

Please,
What's to keep him from still investing after the sale?

Tom Jackson is a more 'PC' announcer/broadcaster......so, the fact that Irvin was in the room when this all went down shows that it's a non-story and fake interest by everyone against RL.

I do not listen to Limbaugh and really don't care what he does.

I worked a few years for an *%#(*^$ that didn't like me, but I had no problem with taking the money they paid me.

What they said didn't matter to me, as long as the check cleared.

LMAO!!!!!!!

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee used her speech on the house floor this morning to ask the NFL owners set standards for team ownership.........

Redlining, anyone?

And nothing said about kids playing baseball with boards on kid's heads in Chicago?

You should be ashamed that you were watching her talk!
