A great piece of Video...Espn's Steven A. Smith blasts the NFL players who said they wouldn't play for Rush Limbaugh as "Liars and Hypocrites"... he's exactly right (Video from CNN show)

...I doubt most NFL players even know who Rush is.
No Play, No Pay. Riighttttt. Who would pay for da bling, mon?
Yikes! Now that’s what a call a “home run”! Ya gotta love it when somebody tells it like it is. He did just that.
the minority players might....
I heard him on Levin the other day and was thinking this guy should run for office.
There’s not a player on the planet that would turn down a multi million dollar contract to protest an owner that most don’t know and would never see...
People don’t complain anymore about Al Davis even. The only main beef with Rush now is his political views. Everything else is just an excuse.
If a player honestly believed that Rush or any other owner was racist, womanizer, manizer, alcoholic, etc ad nauseum, they should be allowed to refuse to be a part of that team without criticism. However as Mr. Smith said, in the end it’s about the money. If Jesse “Apologize” Jackson or Al Sharpton offered $6 million dollars a year to be a chauffeur, who wouldn’t have trouble turning that down?
Rush was correct about McNabb and the sports writers/commentators. He has never been as great as the sports media hyped. The same thing is now happening with the NASCAR on ABC, Jimmy Johnson, Mark Martin, Tony Stewart, or Jeff Gordon will be the champion when the season is over, but all you hear is Juan Pablo Montoya and how great he is, it was the same way when they had the IRL and it was Danica all the time.
Rush would be good for the NFL.
I love your analogy, spot on.
Having Keith Olbermann in the booth for SNFL is horrific, although I do prefer him doing sports than Marxist politics.
If you pay, we'll play.
Get ready for NASCAR and Danica. It's all but announced that she'll race in either some ARCA races, or perhaps the Truck Series, and maybe even in a Nationwide race - or two, next season. It's going to be ridiculous. She's one of the most over-hyped racers in history.
What?
You ever hear of Tony Dungee?
NASCAR will sell it’s soul to attract blacks to a sport very few care a wit about.
I am ambivalent about NASCAR but some of my employees adore it.
yeah I’d like to see him get involved if that is what he really wants.
..but she placed 6th one year didn’t she..lol?
Agreed. Mau Smith, the head of the union, probably had one of the Dem writers write that statement. Obviously, the word “racist” had to be in there. Had to..
Tony Dungee is not a coach in the NFL now.
Yep. She's had just one win in around 75 (maybe a little less) starts. Montoya, who was an accomplished racer in open wheel had a decent rookie season, then had a sophomore slump, but despite the ridicuous "diversity" hype, it's clear he belongs there and he had the bona fides for ride. Hornish, who's a great racer, has struggled with the transition, which shows you how hard it really is.
Patrick, who is NOT a great racer, is only getting a ride because she's a woman. There are going to be a lot of men in the Nationwide series that are going to be pissed, especially if it looks like she'll get a full time ride in the big show - probably for Hendrick, no doubt. I'm predicting that she's going to have a very rough go at it.
