I thought it was to announce the game, not give personal opinions. But heck, nowadays they all do it, especially Couric, Rather, Jennings....where are the ones who just report?

What game? Rush was on NFL Countdown, a Sunday morning show where they discuss all of the day's games before the action kicks off. Rush never announced any games for ESPN.

"Announce the game"? What game? He's not a game commentator. He was hired for the ESPN NFL Countdown show where they GIVE opinions on football.

Kind of hard to do when you're only on the air before the game starts. Rush was there to editorialize and to stir things up. He gave ESPN exactly what they wanted...they just couldn't handle it.

This may or not be directly on-topic but does anyone remember how certain media reported that the Dallas Cowboys were the first team to have a totally black starting offensive line? They reveled in it. A very progressive move by the Cowboys. I said so what, just win. If they were the best ones on the team, great. If it was a PC move by Jerry Jones, that's another matter. BTW, did anyone notice how the perky Katie Couric acted on Wednesday's Today Show? She looked absolutely severe and appeared to want Rush's head on a stick. Looks like the libs are comming out with well honed knives to get at Rush. As for Warren Moon, he may have been a big fish in the CFL, but not so big the NFL. ALso, is the PC-controlled NFL going to have to change the term for running atempts from RUSHing?
