One of the great things about football is that a fan can experience all of its highs and lows and never, ever have to think about politics. NFL Sundays are a safe zone from the "let's scream at each other and call it political discourse" babble that's so unavoidable during the week.

Keith Olbermann is on NBC's Sunday Night Football.
Rush - it's even in my yearbook. Man, I think we were separated at birth....

If Rush bought the Rams, they’d have to hit the field in Gold and Black uniforms.
it’s obvious the guy writing this is a lib and has his head up his ass. A minute of research would have showed him that politics does mesh with sports. It’s just a ridiculous rant by a very uninformed boob.
Which is why I don’t watch Sunday night football.
Plus that Faith Hill song sucks.
There are just so many of these individuals it makes ones head spin. They are everywhere and into everything. How long can a country survive with these types in centers of influence.

Tim Klutsarits: What if Rush Limbaugh became owner of the Rams?
Mark Cuban is a big flaming lib and makes no effort to hide his political leanings.
But I guess that’s okay because he doesn’t own a sports team. Oh, wait...
They should ditch that awful song, I agree. I still watch SNF but the old ESPN SNF was better.
Dear God, PLEASE let me spend one day as a fly on the wall up in Bristol, Connecticut if this happens...
I hope that Rush will buy the Rams. Since I lived in the Los Angeles area, 1968-’76, that’s my favorite NFL team. He’s been my favorite radio talk show host since Dec. 1991.
Since you’re an Iowa conservative who likes sports, I hope that you’ll watch “Sportsaholic,” a show on Comcast Sportsnet, in all of Iowa and parts of Illinois, Wisconsin, and Indiana. It’s shown on Thursday and Sunday nights, at 12:30. The host, William Kelly, is a funny conservative, and each show includes a salute to war veterans. William Kelly, host of the multi-state sports lifestyle cable TV series, “William Kelly’s Sportsaholic” has issued a formal challenge to Illinois’ former Gov. Rod Blagojevich – a winner-take-all race for $10,000 that, if Blagojevich wins, could help pad his cash-strapped legal defense fund. If the former governor runs out of cash for his legal defense, the taxpayers will again be stuck with the bill. “I’m giving it everything I have to make sure that doesn’t happen,” said Kelly. “That’s why today I am formally challenging Hot Rod Blagojevich to a winner-take-all drag race.”
Last month, Blagojevich was barred from leaving Illinois to appear in the show “I’m a Celebrity Get Me Outta Here,” filming in Costa Rica. The $10,000 is being put up by Illinois-based Melrose Park Indoor Grand Prix, allowing the governor’s participation in accord with the judicial decree. Kelly talks about the racing challenge to former Governor Rod Blagojevich on hthis week’s episode of “William Kelly’s Sportsaholic.” You can see a video of Bill making the challenge, on this link: http://williamjkelly.wordpress.com.

As wealthy as Rush is, I don’t believe that he’s in the “Billionaire” category. That’s the kind of money you need to be an NFL owner. He might, on the other hand, be part of an ownership group — maybe even as their designated “President”.
This thing has heated up again and ignorant and hateful liberal heads explode all over St. Louis and elsewhere:
######
In 2003, Rush Limbaugh had a brief dalliance with the sport he loves, spending a month as the “voice of the fan” on ESPN’s pregame show before resigning after a delayed reaction to comments made regarding Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb triggered a firestorm.
Since then, the mega-rich Rush’s name has bubbled up from time to time as a potential owner of all or part of an NFL team.
And it could be coming to fruition.
Charley Casserly of CBS reports that, of the three groups that submitted bids to buy the St. Louis Rams, one group includes Dave Checketts and Limbaugh.
It’s unknown whether the bid includes the 40 percent owned by Stan Kroenke, or the 60 percent currently held by the two children of the late Georgia Frontiere.
Checketts previously seemed to complain that his interest in buying the team wasn’t being taken seriously, perhaps because at the time he was the only buyer willing to commit to keeping the team in St. Louis. Now that three groups have submitted proposals under the condition that team won’t be moved, Checketts and Limbaugh (and whoever else is in the group) might have a chance.
Any sale would have to be approved by 75 percent of the league’s current owners.
Some Rams fans are stating that they would no longer be able to root for the team if someone as hateful and intolerant as Limbaugh is part owner.
Funny how tolerant they are, isn’t it?

And like the hypocrites that they are, they are perfectly fine with the overtly left wing billionaires that own NFL teams.
Rooney the owner of the Steelers is a big Obama supporter.
