Rush should put his money elsewhere.

NFL franchises can be dogs as investments.

Plus, I love to listen to Rush when he is talking politics or philosophy, but when he starts talking about the NFL it gets really boring.

If he gets a franchise then half of his show's minutes will be spent talking about some crap related to his team.

Very boring.

I luv RUSH & been a consistent listener. However, this is some poetic justice. Ole RUSHBO has played the lovable fuzzball, never wanted to get into activism. No, he’ll just talk the subject & joke about the real problems. Now, his joking & lack of activism is at his doorstep & is too late to change. He never once brought up Savage’s issues. In that respect he acted like a RINO & he will suffer from such. As far as the NFL goes this is just a turning point to replace it with alternatives. I’m a strong college FB supporter. That’s enough replacement.

Anyone want to do a racial breakdown of this list? I bet it confirms Rush's Crips and Bloods remark. Of course, anyone who follows the NFL knows his comment was right.
