You missed another verified quote, Jay (0.00 / 0)

The one where Limbaugh claims that the NFL is like the Bloods and Crips having a fight.  This guy obviously hates football.

My question is this:  if the NFL is so racist and intolerant (as Rush said today) why would he, a man of moral strength, want anything to do with it?  Unless, of course, his desire was to turn the Rams into a shining conservative beacon.  That's not really the point of the game, or the league, is it?

The quote in context (0.00 / 0)

can be found here:  http://michaelinmi.wordpress.c...

His explanation can be found here:  http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/ho...

I found the following interesting:  

===================
Now, we had Mercury Morris who was I guess on CNN a couple days ago say, "I know what he's talking about and he's right, I know exactly what he's talking about."  Mercury Morris played for the Dolphins back in the Don Shula era.  My comment could easily be taken as criticism of players.  It was criticism of that kind of -- it was totally unnecessary -- it lost the ball game.  Lost the ball game all for the purpose of strutting around.  And what it was, folks, was criticism of a mind-set.  Regardless what happens here I am a fan of the National Football League.  I devote my Sundays to it.  I travel to stadiums to be part of it.  It's fun being there in person.  I want to continue to be a fan.  I want that game to be up on the pedestal I've put it, and I want the players to be on the pedestal that I've put them.  The players are the game.  You want the best people playing the game you can get in the league, and that's a hard job to find 'em, scouting and all that, the draft.  It's fascinating to me because everybody is trying to pick who they think are the best, and some people are better at picking those players than others, why one team's better than another, traditionally over the years and so on.

Oh Craig (0.00 / 0)

You don't seem to realize that Rush's response to his own BS was complete nonsense.

'They're Bloods and Crips but I love them so.  Oh and, yeah, my comment was crap but I won't apologize.  Have I mentioned I love these guys?'

Not to mention the fact he he damned well needs to define his term "best".

Being controversial (0.00 / 0)

both on and off the field is something Limbaugh and many pro players share as the formula for financial success and ego salving.

being "controversial" (0.00 / 0)

can also be bad for business. Thus, Limbaugh's exclusion from the ownership group.

It's good to see folks stepping up to bear responsibility for their actions.

But like I said, the confirmed, acutal quotes are worse than bad. The dude's PR cancer for any legitimate business.

investors approached HIM asking them to be an investor.

honestly, why do you care?  I really doubt any of you watched a Rams game or were involved.  this guy has made a lot of money and if he wants to set it on fire or buy a football team, why are your panties in such a scrunch?  

no one is forcing you to give him any of your money.  i wish i could say the same about your wonderful government you love so much.

So a perfectly ideal team would be one made up only of non-wog stalwarts.
Political Correctness being what it is, however; one is driven to ask how such a transaction as was contemplated could be considered in such a context.

Jay: 'ol Jed (0.00 / 0)

aka Horst Wagner, aka Jedidiah Redman, aka Flounder, are all aliases for the same person that uses "craigie."  There has been no "outing" of the real person.  He raised the issue of "bona fides" when, in fact, he is fraud as he acts out multiple personalities.  How anyone like 'ol Jed can allude to R's like Michael Steele and Colin Powell as white supremacists is a bit disingenuous  while blowing past DC progressive liberal Dems who send their children to white private schools and support ending the scholarship program that allowed poor DC children to attend those same schools. Racism has many faces and often hides in hearts of those that point the finger at others.
