- BAD NEWS FOR ST. LOUIS SPORTS ENTHUSIASTS: A certain man wants to buy your awful football team, the Rams, and he’s known for being disagreeable! It is fat weird person Rush Limbaugh, from the radio. As you may recall, Rush was briefly involved in professional football before. ESPN hired him in 2003 to join its weekly pregame show panel. He did this for a full one (1) episode, during which he just said a bunch of racist stuff before quitting. [NBC Sports]
Maybe please you could pat all the nice Footballers on the ass cheeks and not do the hate-radio? HENNGH?
He’s just going to own them long enough to fatten them up and eat them.
This will only be wonderful if Limbaugh does a play-by-play while doing speed.
The Rams have absolutely no defense against the offensive Rush.
Rush, owning black men the modern way.
We’re going to Pass, Rush. No, I didn’t say pass rush. Because we suck, and have no pass rush. But we heard maybe Robert Mugabe or Kim Jong Il wanted to buy us, so we’re holding out. Next time, my roly poly oxycontin-phreak!
He should have to buy the Raiders first.
Dan Snyder’s going to have to work a lot harder if he wants to remain the most loathed owner in the NFL.
Rush, don’t take the “pig skin thing” literally - pro-football doesn’t want you.
“Rush Limbaugh had a brief dalliance with the sport he loves.”
Such an opening …
A sly way for him to get his fat fingers on some of those athlete drugs.
Extemporanus: zing!
This obnoxious pairing of the NFL’s least offensive team and Talk Radio’s most offensive host raises a number of troublesome questions, primarily: why is Limpblah interested in a team called “the Rams?” He should by the Vikings and share pain pills with Benedick Favre.
Does he know there are cheaper ways to get one of those fancy hot dog roller-cooker things installed in his bedroom, bathroom, sauna, and SUV?
El Rushbo is Cape Girardeau in the Missouri panhandle, down where slavery was profitable and legal right up until Emancipation. You haven’t really made it in Missouri until you’ve made it in the “big city,” which to them is St Louis. So creepy jock-sniffer won’t be taking the Rams anywhere.
What does Michael Steele think?
Accordion-o-rama: +2.
Let’s see that team draft a black QB, ever.
I hope he does leave radio, and I hope they hire Donovan McNabb to “fill” his “slot”!!
Rush watches Rachel Maddow.
The Rams are the only team to majorly donate to Democrats not Republicans.
This is great, because when Rush owns the Rams, it’ll be that much more satisfying when my Seahawks beat them up. (Which is kind of important now, since the Rams appear to be the only team my Seahawks can beat up these days.)
zenferret: don’t tell me that. the rams are soooo suck. i thought my sf 49ers might be a li’l lefty, but no such luck. all pro sports are a bunch of palin-huffin fundies, huh? /sob/ back to broadway for me!! booooon sooooooooooir!!!!!!!!
On a more positive note, Hopey made us popular WE’RE NUMBER ONE - apparently globally we are the most admired country? So only teabagers hate America now.

Little Known Fact: Boss BlunderRush was fired from the tvs because of that dog’s breakfast of a tie he wore around his neck. The producers just couldn’t take it any longer!
So Marge Schott is dead, right?
AbstinenceOnly Ed: This might explain his interest in The Rams.
Presumably he will build them a stadium as well, since the publically financed stadium in which they play is an experiment in socialism.
Let’s see what happens in Obama’s America when Rush tries to choose his seat on the team bus.
Bonus points if Rush is forced to return a punt, with no fair catch allowed.
on days like this, i’m glad i prefer futbol…the epl only has to put up with owners like roman abramovich and (until recently) thaksin shinawatra.
President Beeblebrox: Jebus. How do you find this shit?
They placed Limbo Lowernow across from the real panel and he right off insulted Blacks. He said Donovan McNab was on the field for the Eagles because he’s Black, and defense wins for them, not no Black quarterback. Nobody called him on it, although there were Blacks facing the goon, also a mormon. Everybdoy smiled and made nice. EatSpitPatooieNegro.
No worries - an anal cyst will bar him from owning the team. It worked before.
President Beeblebrox: I’ve got a baaaaaad feeling about this. Ewe’re trying to trick me, eh? Get my goat? Well, I won’t be your sacrificial lamb. Go look for a scapegoat elsewhere; you won’t pull the wool over my eyes, you tricksome satyr you!
It won’t work. Rush is a homophobe, and the Rams suck.
President Beeblebrox: proudgrampa: Yeah, ummm, we’ll never get this kind of text in a Peggy Noonan thread:
Ram, symbolized in Ancient Egypt as the head of Anun, the leading deity, the god of life and reproduction.
Ram, Germanic, meaning a virile and uncastrated male sheep, from Old Norse meaning ’strong’.
Ram, the symbol of Aries the beginning of the Zodiacal cycle and representative of fertility and life-force.
Ram, emerging as a verb in fourteenth century Holland, meaning to force or squeeze into place by pressure.
RAM®, a liquid aroma, guaranteed to stay fresh and powerful for when it counts!

is it considered bad form to throw batteries at a team owner? cuz i have a bag of’em here I was gonna recycle some day…
Trying to run a football team without black players would be like trying to run the Republican party without any white guys.
And I think we all know how Michael Steele turned out.
President Beeblebrox: I’d like to see skoalrebel evaluate that product for us!
Flanders: As a video head cleaner? As liquid incense? Or as a popper? Popper, right, cause I’m thinking you just want to see SkoalRebel’s head explode like Louis Del Grande’s head in “Scanners.”
shadowMark: you dont know what poppers are for, do you? ask andrew sullivan. you’ll find out the 12-hour-hard way. he’ll fist the acorns outta ya!
Can we hope “el rushbo” decides to be a hands on owner and really get into this full time? Leave the wingtards to becko and hannitty? oh be still my heart. Nah, he will go on blathering forever. Probably already a voice systhesis program to “auto rush” the party line without a living rushbo in the works.
Only in US America can millions of people profess to love a game they never play but only watch, all the while doing their best to become as morbidly obese as possible. Rush would be a perfect owner in this regard.
AbstinenceOnly Ed: “…all pro sports are a bunch of palin-huffin fundies, huh?”
No, the usually conservative-Catholic Rooney family, owners of the Steelers, came out so strongly for Obama that the team’s chairman, Dan Rooney, was appointed U.S. ambassador to Ireland as a thank you. For one of my little research projects, I once looked up campaign donations using the job title “football coach.” Coaches donated about 3 to 1 in favor of Republicans most years, but Obama did receive maximum donations from a few, among them Richard Tomey of San Jose State, so maybe you have a new team to cheer for.
ShadowMark - sorry but I failed chemistry, are you suggesting that if you ram liquid aroma up your snout you’ll pop or is it missing some key ingredient that prevents the maker from endorsing their product for its primary and most profitable function given the demise of video heads? Chemistry = bad anagrams.
Jukesgrrl: i went to cal, so i have nothing to cheer for but my state crumbling into the sea.
S.Luggo: That would be the Oxy to Stolly to Dominican to microphone steeple chase.
AbstinenceOnly Ed: steve: SkoalRebel is already complaining he doesn’t get enough attention from the fairer sex so my theory was if this elixir cranks up his sex drive to eleven AND cranks up his energy level into the realm of Dennis-Hopper-in-Blue-Velvet then SR’s head would just explode but maybe I’m projecting and it’s just that I’d very much like to see SR’s head explode like Louis Del Grande’s head in “Scanners.”
I take it the Rams will be an all white football team?
Mull_Man: Well done!
Crank Tango: If you throw a battery at Rush, make it the type you start a Buick with.
So this would make Marge Schott only the second most racist owner of a major sports franchise in modern times?
She’d probably be more annoyed than relieved by that, though. Well, except for the fact she’s dead.
Amazing to think Georgia Frontierre would become only the second-most hated owner in Rams history.
Does Rush know they disbanded the “magic negro” league?
The supposedly offending sentences:
— “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,” Limbaugh said. —
Once again, the MSM has tinted Rush’s innocent words to meet their socialist’s ends thru Marxist-Leninist-Taliban agitprop. Limbaugh was referring to the “Black Irish”, who most famous NFL player was the over-heralded, “Speer Chucker Jones”.
EOM
OT: With all the trouble in the world, including real US America unemployment at 17 percent, then of course CNN is creaming its jeans with 24/7 coverage of THE DAVID LETTERMAN SCANDAL. Ball State HELLO.
hobospacejunkie:
And not even a very good scandal really. “Single Hollywood Talk-Show Host Bones Women That Work For Him Back When He Wasn’t 120-Years Old; Police Trap Idiot Who Tries To Blackmail Him For It”.
Dog bites man.
Is Rush aware that the Rams employ dozens of large black men who walk around the locker room singing rap songs about how cool Obama is? And that if he owned the team he would have to pay these men millions of dollars? Just curious.
hobospacejunkie: Ball Jar State, another Obama fail. Having a house in Illinois is not enoough. The vanity.
— Billy Kristol
OTOH: That small Catholic College in N. Indiana won.
Even without a Black Irish QB.
— Rushfart
OH, no! They’ve got the coolest helmut.
Rush Limbaugh is an Oxy-moron.
The NFL, a great source of Oxy.
However, before everyone gets in an uproar, the fact of his little drug problem and the resulting amusingly small punishment means that the NFL has a plausible way of denying ol’ Rushbo from joining the fraternity.
He may talk about buying in, but it won’t be approved.
S.Luggo: That small catholic college beat my large land grant university a week ago. One school policy at Purdue I am proud of: athletes must be accepted into the university before they are awarded an athletic scholarship. This in contrast to most, like UTexas here in Austin, where if you are given an athletic scholarship you are automatically accepted into the school.
Now what were we talking about? Oh yeah, Mr. Minstrelsy vs. The Drunken Orange Clown.
Hey, I just thought of something. Rush got into radio because it was the family business. Now he’s thinking about buying the Rams. And of course he rants about politics every day.
So — who comes to mind who last made it big by going from nepotism to sports franchise ownership to politics? Dubya.
Rush is following the Dubya Recipe for Immortality in the Annals of Freedom. Just in time for 2016, when there’ll be a whole lotta socialism to fix.
Oh wait, we were talking about Fat Bloke buying into the Rams. St. Louis being one of the ever-growing number of cities to have stolen a sports franchise from another city by enticing the owner with piles & piles of taxpayer money.
comicbookguy: I’m going to say no, but I’m pretty sure he won’t draft Michael Steele.

Hmm, something tells me ole crazy eyes bachmann is gonna have a thing or two to say about this…
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/the-demise-of-the-dollar-1798175.html
hobospacejunkie: Don’t forget the last owner of the Rams, Georgia Frontiere, acquired the Rams when her husband, an avid swimmer, died in a mysterious swimming accident. That’s a pretty Republican way of taking over a business.
Rush is a major assclown, so it’s no surprise he bought something that would fit in there. The Rams were cheaper than the Packers. The Trojans, though good enough, are only semi-pro.
I think Rush has some kind of ‘roid envy’. Both are ass-related.
The Oxy Doxy, being a virile white man, intends to quarterback his new team, at least the first season.
I might be hard to win with an all white team, Rush.
I hope he fails…. sound familiar?
Uncle Joe: Yes, she is. Anyway, she was into baseball. I suppose Rush could imitate her habit of eating the lunches the players brought from home.
Well, you know what they say; once you go black, well…you win Superbowls, and shit. So…Rush, you may want to reconsider the whole racist thing, ok?
BTW, St. Louis, the actual place, must be hell for Limbaugh. It’s full of things he hates the most: blacks, liberals, history, fine architecture, higher education…
NYNYNY: I don’t think “virile” men have to gobble up boner pills like they were tic-tacs.
hiphophitler: As long as they are naked, I’m sure Rush could learn to be ok with it.
One of Limbaugh’s first jobs was working in the PR department for the Kansas City Royals where, according to the players at the time, and Limbaugh himself, he was a complete tool and was the favorite victim for any and all pranks.
The (white) quarterback will be warned never to throw to the left.
As if having Kyle Boller as your back-up QB isn’t punishment enough. Why, yes, I am in Baltimore, why do you ask?
SayItWithWookies: It’s a damn good thing taxpayer-funded sports facilities aren’t socialism. Damn good thing.
The St. Louis Cysts. I like it.
Win/Win for me. Hating football just gets easier. Can St Louis also get Michael Vick out of the deal?
Carrie_Okie: Not with Limbaugh’s history. There’s more chance of the return of Ryan Leaf.
Uncle Joe: Yes, but that doesn’t mean Rush doesn’t want to bump nasties with her.
desertwind: Helmut Schmidt was cooler.
