The only problem I had with that is that Rush said McNabb was not a good QB. McNabb is a fine QB in the NFL. I always enjoyed watching him play.
“...Rush said McNabb was not a good QB....”
I don’t believe that Rush said exactly that.
He said that the liberal sports media made McNabb into a better QB than he actually was simply because he was black. Rush correctly said that McNabb was a good to very good QB, but by no means a great one.
Rush’s attack was on the politically-correct sportswriters, not on McNabb.
Hey, SEOYC. Good to see ya!
I think Rush said McNabb was “overated” and his point really wasn’t about McNabb as much as it was the PC sportswriters.
You have mail!
That's not quite accurate. Here's his exact quote: "Sorry to say this, I don't think he's been that good from the get-go. I think what we've had here is a little social concern in the NFL. The media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well."
Rush was dead on accurate. McNabb was never as good as the Drive-By Media made him out to be.
He was forced to resign because he said the media had a vested interest in seeing McNab succeed. He was right and as usual the media cannot stand to be faced with their own bias.
The left is extremely jealous of and insanely frustrated by Limbaugh and the fact they can do absolutely NOTHING to slow him down.
Despite the hysteria when he admitted his addiction to Oxycontin he played it exactly right. He checked himself in to a rehab, beat his addiction and came back stronger then ever.
What he did this year with his operation chaos is just another thorn in the liberals side and they hate him with the ferocity only a liberal can bring to bear.
Rush never said McNabb wasn’t a good QB. Rush said McNabb was getting more hype because he was black.
McNabb was, at the time, a good QB. Rush’s comment was inappropriate.
It’s better to say “I don’t think he’s as good as the media makes him out to be until he’s been in or won a Super Bowl.” A lot of national media once said the same things about the Manning brothers. Use an objective yardstick and leave skin color out of it.
You must not be from the Philadelphia area. My father and step-mother can’t stand the way he plays....
Joe Theismann was a good (great QB). Dan Marino was a good (great QB). McNabb was/is an average QB. John Elway was a good (great QB). Johnny U. was a good (great QB). A number of other examples abound.
BUT, Rush NEVER said he was not a good QB. He said McN was not up to the level to which the media had lifted him.
