Limbaugh Confirms St. Louis Rams Bid

[Prodigal Son]

If Al Davis can get players to play for his team I'm fairly certain Rush Limbaugh wont have any problem.

Al Davis isn't perceived as a bigot by a large portion of the black community. Players don't have a problem being on a bad team. Players do have a problem on being on a bad team, and playing for a guy who's been quoted saying "Look, let me put it to you this way: The NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it."

if he gets the Rams, does this mean he'll be at Nugget games trying to get Kronke (sp?) to sell his share of the Rams? i think he has like 40%

Rush would just be another faceless minority owner. Dave Checketts, a guy with a long history in sports, would have all of the power.

I'd like a group from outside STL to win the bid, and get the team out of there. The STL fans are ungrateful, unknowledgeable, baseball fans who were spoiled by the Greatest Show and have shown they won't support a team when they are in a down cycle.

From what i've read. Checketts/Rush are amongst the favorites, but are not the frontrunners. Unfortuately, it looks like the movement to get the team to move back to LA has fallen apart.

How does a New Jersey guy have any idea of what St. Louis sports fans are like? Were you ever at a Rams game during the greatest show on turf years? The atmosphere was amazing. The Rams have been horrible for three years and the Rams amazingly continue to sell out the majority of their games. St. Louis will always be a baseball town first, but there's plenty of love to go around for the Rams if they can just become competitive.

As for Rush, I'm not a big fan of the guy, but his money will help give Checkett's group of investors majority ownership. What that means is that the Rams have to remain in St. Louis as long as Checketts is the majority owner of both the Rams and Blues due to NFL rules.

People complain about the cash Mike Moore pulls in and this douche is making 400 mill? A lot of idiot mindless sheeple out there. As to the picture in the OP, why can't lung cancer kill faster?

I also think he's buying in so he can have easier access to pain killers.

If you believe anything from Moore, you are the fool and a total lemming.

 

[ram29jackson]

Did I say I did? Go back to your bridge you fucking troll.

yes, I assumed you did. Unsure if -this- referred to him or Rush.

 

[jeffx]

you're an ignorant fool with no critical thinking skills. You believe what the media tells you to believe.

No, I don't need the media to tell me what Rush is, you dumbass troll.

 

[nesper]

other interesting tid bits to this (maybe not)
- he is a steelers fan.
- was invited to Ford Field by the Ford family for the first game their which was against the steelers. (preseason)
- he worked for the royals and i think he was raised in missouri but i could be wrong.

 

[KoRnStARr]

He's not racist.

He's said comments that may offend some, but that doesn't make him racist. There is a difference.

People (liberals) hate Rush because he makes good points and is a fucking asshole about it.

 

[ram29jackson]

No, I don't need the media to tell me what Rush is, you dumbass troll.

the media is what influenced you to believe your false perception of him. troll is a pointless internet term.

 

[MmmmBeeeeer]

Smart move to buy now.

I knew blitzrique would have a post on the first page

 

[Fox1994]

I don't like him, but that's moot. I'm fairly certain that at least half of the stuff he says is because it's more important on the radio to be interesting than to be right. And he's certainly getting that money.

Anywho, I think all politicians/political pundits should stay out of sports, but whatever. . . I hope he doesn't get the team.

 

[adembroski]

Funny how people constantly call him a racist, but nobody bothers to point out that his longest standing employee and closest personal friend is black, Bo Snerdly.

He nothing but a racist piece of **** to me. I doubt the NFL will let him buy the team. Anyone remember him on ESPN?

The title should tell you that he's racist

If not, this should

#1 and #2 are made up.

#3 is a joke about Jesse Jackson, not black people

#4 is anti-communist, not anti-black, as well as a strongly libertarian stance

#5 is a comment on the thug mentality that pervades professional sports, though I'd apply the quote more to the NBA.

#6 is a comment toward the NAACP, hardly a bipartisan organization. Are they immune to criticism because they're made up of black people? The NAACP is a racist organization and has done more to HURT black people than to help them.

#7 I personally heard, IN CONTEXT, at the time it was said. The point was that Republicans should not kiss up to the "black vote" because it's counter productive.

#8 Indefensible statement, but 1/8 so far hardly proves racism. I've heard this used by a wide variety of people, and usually used to denote a certain segment of black people... just as blacks and whites both call certain whites "White Trash" or "Redneck"... it's not racist, it's a poke at a certain segment.

#9 Was not the LEAST BIT RACIST! You interpret it that way because you want to verify your own view, but read it, impassionately... it's not racist, it's an accusation toward the media of racism.

#10 Oh, of course, anybody who opposes Obama is racist. Fuck you, fuck Obama, and fuck your racism. Halfrican American = why doesn't anybody point out that the dude IS half white? I've seen enough half-white people in my old HS called "Half breed" and other derogatory shit by black people, but Obama gets a pass? Be consistent. Obama IS the affirmative action candidate, because he's the candidate that favored affirmative action, and the Magic Negro thing wasn't created by Rush, and isn't a cut at Obama, Al Sharpton called Obama The Magic Negro, and the parody is a cut at Sharpton (note that it came out at a time when Rush was going real easy on Obama because he wanted Obama to beat Hilary, and nobody, even Rush, realized just what a crackpot Obama really was).

"Racism" is just one of the lefts many ways of saying "SHUT UP" because you cannot debate us, you cannot win a war of ideas, because your ideas are morally and intellectually bankrupt. Learn to debate and stop trying to discredit your opponents so you don't have to debate them.

Rush would just be another faceless minority owner. Dave Checketts, a guy with a long history in sports, would have all of the power.

Truth

The sad part about this story is that Rush wins either way. If he can become an owner he wins for obvious reasons and if he fails to get a team he'll get on his radio show and claim that that because he's an outspoken conservative he's being denied, which plays into the entire victim role that many conservatives tend to take on now.
