ST. LOUIS (AP)—Conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh blames others for being dropped from the group trying to buy the St. Louis Rams.

On his syndicated show Thursday, Limbaugh said he was approached by St. Louis Blues chairman Dave Checketts earlier this year about participating in a Rams bid. He also said Checketts assured him his involvement as a minority investor had been vetted by the NFL.

“I said to him at this meeting, ‘Are you aware of the firestorm?’ He said ‘We wouldn’t have approached you if we hadn’t taken care of that,”’ Limbaugh said.

Limbaugh added that Checketts had told him his involvement had been cleared at the “highest levels of the NFL.”

Fellow Freepers take a stand and take one for the team! Cancel your NFL Network subscription channel now. Call Direct TV and cancel NFL Suday Ticket. This whole episode just reeks of chicken manure.

Is this the same Dave Checketts who was arrested in junior high school for sexually assaulting an eight year old with a pair of scissors?

Has anyone confirmed Soros’ membership in the investment group?

He also said that George Soros was involved early on in the same group.

So I smell a setup.

If you really have to watch the NFL—and I haven’t in the salary cap/free agency era—watch all the games free at www.channelsurfing.net. Somebody there is always broadcasting everything.

Rush's own words from his show of yesterday:

"We are in the process, behind the scenes, working to get apologies and retractions, with the force of legal action, against every journalist who has published these entirely fabricated quotes about me, slavery, and James Earl Ray. I never said them."

That’s the right idea. Cancel your subscription to the NFL Network. Cancel your subscription to Sports Illustrated, or any sports magazine for that matter. You’re only feeding the beast, conservatives have no friends at MSM outlets and that includes sports outlets.

Something stinks. Didn’t Ray Lewis stab a couple guys to death and he’s celebrated by the NFL? Didn’t the Ravens owner say something like “Nobody in the NFL is a boy scout.”

And what’s with these childish pink ribbons? Are women’s diseases the only ones that count?

Is the NFL going left on us too?

May the fine people of St. Louis enjoy the same experience we in Orange County had when the “LA” Rams moved away.

Checketts must be a Liberal. He can’t get anything straight or, worse, he lies. Standard Liberal behavior both.
