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.

If he does end up owning the Rams, he has fulfilled my lifelong dream. Dang...he beat me to it.

Rush - it's even in my yearbook. Man, I think we were separated at birth....

[counterpunch]

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.

Blatant lies.
Football commentators have been known to engage in political commentaries, such as Howie Long's notable dissing of John Kerry during the 2004 election cycle.
Plus Rush Limbaugh was an ESPN commentator, and the mother of all political stains on football, Keith Olbermann is an NBC football commentator. That makes it very difficult to stomach the halftime wrap on Sunday nights.

Tim Klutsarits: What if Rush Limbaugh became owner of the Rams?

[Buckeye McFrog]

Dear God, PLEASE let me spend one day as a fly on the wall up in Bristol, Connecticut if this happens...

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.
