I may or may not agree with everything in your post, but it’s interesting to see parts of this and similar threads morphing into statements about football.

more likely, his last contract got the bank account over the hump to make this purchase attempt, knowing full well that it was gonna be openly smacked down with demonstrable libel...???

The NFL is nothing more than pro-rasslin’ with pads.

I never understood being a sports fan of any kind.

Watching 300-pound musclemen (who would be better employed moving pianos) crashing into each other is a boring waste of time. So is baseball and basketball. Good gawd, some people even watch golf. The only spectator sport I like to watch is (female) figure skating. It has a certain charm.

I love football and I love Limbaugh. Not necessarily in that order.

I’ll never give up on either, although I know full well the NFL is run and populated with unrequited arrgant lefties, and the sports press is the hardest leftist corner of the State run media.

It is what it is, and I try my best to avoid pre-game shows and focus on what’s between the lines.

It’s what the media does best.

DO NOT WATCH A GAME!

My oldest calls them the Chefs!!!! They provide the largest piece of paved ground in the Midwest to eat off a 'tailgate'.

One good thing about this whole debacle is how the lefties are getting into the faces of many complacent Americans. This time it is the football fans. Millions of nonpolitical and clueless people watch football, now their comfort zone has been invaded by the bossy in-your-face leftists. These football fans are being taught a lesson about how liberals operate in this country. They are seeing that liberals interject politics into everything. Even a sport is turned into an opportunity to polarize people and force their politics on everyone.

Last year it was NASCAR that was attacked as being racist. Now Rush Limbaugh is being barred from purchasing a football team because he is conservative and therefore a racist.

The left are alienating many people who have not been paying much attention to politics up to this point. Look at how the enemies list just keeps growing; the oil business is evil, the automobile industry is evil, NASCAR is evil, the banks are evil, business in general is evil, insurance companies are evil, doctors chop off people's feet for extra insurance payments, now someone who wants to buy a football team is called a racist because he is a conservative. The left is making new enemies everyday of ordinary people who were not paying much attention until they were singled out as enemies of the state. This is a new twist on the saying, “A conservative is a liberal who just been mugged.” Many Americans are finding out that they have just gotten mugged by the Democrats. Keep up the good work.

Maybe everybody should just stay in the parking lot and ask them to announce the final score, lol.

Remember that TV ad that showed the groundskeeper painstakingly painting the end zone, but he spelled it “Chefs”? Funny. (Kinda like today’s “Wanna get away?” ads.)

I learned three things about the NFL Rams this week.

The Rams lost 35 - 0 last Sunday

The Rams are 0 - 4 so far this season.

The Rams were 2 - 14 last season.

With the start they have perhaps they can make it a perfect season of 0 - 16.

Ah, no I did not know about or see that ad, but my oldest probably did and that is why he calls them 'Chefs' and has for years. I always thought he did it to irritate his friends whose parents always got season tickets no matter how badly things turned out year in and year out.

Folks, you don't have to quit watching. Just don't patronize their sponsors.

Enjoy your football on TV, and give them not a dime for your time.

Yeah, having a racist part-owner could really damage their record!

I’m done. Frankly it’s been getting less and less interesting over time and this sort of thing simply means the NFL has circled the drain and gone gurgling down into the cesspool that has become American politics. Like everything socialism ever touches, its inhabitants will be squealing and squabbling for an ever-larger share of an ever-shrinking pie. Enjoy yourselves, guys. I’m done.

Hey, I've always liked college ball better. (Although I'm not much for football). Funny, it always annoyed me when Rush started talking sports. I was even worried that he'd get so happy with his team that he'd forget about us conservatives.

Now I want him to have his team.
