Now if I were a complete and total cynic, I would agree with you and say something like this: "Well, Rush had to do something to get the mojo back from Glenn Beck, who had eclipsed Rush a month or two ago. Beck was all the talk in the State-Run Media. Now the chatter is back on Rush."
But I'm not quite that cynical just yet. I do think Rush is sincere in his love for the sport. I've listened to him for twenty years and he's not changed a whit in his passion for it. So I think he was really interested in being an owner.
But I agree with you that he had to have an inkling that this is how it might work out.
Of course he knew the usual suspects would come after him.
If there is anything to be learned about this deal it is whether the respect he, and many of us,have had for certain people in the NFL is warranted.
Frankly, if they will allow blatant lies to destroy Rush’s bid once they have had the opportunity to learn the truth and stand up for it, I wouldn’t want to put that, or any, amount of money into the organization anyway.
I love to watch professional football, but, some things are more important.
