King Questions Goodell on Limbaugh Comments (full version - with Rush's response)
YouTube/Rep. Steve King ^ | 10-28-09

Posted on 10/28/2009 8:06:19 PM PDT by STARWISE

In an October 28, 2009 House Judiciary Committee hearing, Congressman Steve King questions NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on comments he made regarding Rush Limbaugh.

VIDEO

Rush's Response to Commissioner Goodell's Answer:

Of course, Goodell's a total weasel. He had no answer about the Dolphins' owners so wouldn't even address the question, and he got on his high horse about how McNabb is a fine player and a fine person and it has nothing to do with the color of his skin, when I

(a) never said he was not a fine person;

(b) never said he was a bad QB -- just that he was overrated (which no one should deny); and

(c) said the MEDIA was obsessed with the color of his skin (which is also undeniable), not that I was.

I RESPECT Donovan McNabb, as I do all the elite athletes qualified to play in the NFL. I'd love to have a beer with him and discuss football. My job on the ESPN pre-game show was to disagree with the panel when I did.

The production meeting the day before the show featured two segments on McNabb and the Eagles. The focus of BOTH segments was, "What's wrong with McNabb?" My thought was that not that much was wrong, that the Eagles defense was not getting sufficient credit, and that I thought the media was hyping McNabb for my stated reasons.

-- Rush Limbaugh

This is so great, I think every time that weasle is on Capital Hill some GOP member of Congress should quiz him on this.

Color me impressed with Steve King. He is a stand-up guy.

Oh, is that racist, Mr. Goodell?

Weasel Goodell made me laugh when he said “ the NFL is all about unity”.

No, it is about money and football, and that’s about it.

What a maroon.

Where is the legislation removing the anti trust exemption for the NFL. The whole thing is nothing but a cesspool.

So, the NFL is now run by lying liberal scumbags?
How did this happen?

I thought Goodell sounded like a completely
disingenuous horse’s a$$. Surprises me that
he’s capable of spewing that much buffoonery
and PC garbage .. had the impression he was
a standup guy. Sad to behold ...

As they say: “Jane, you ignorant slut ...”

(sorry .. couldn’t resist .. ;)

I think Roger Goebbels has been completely neutered by certain factions (black seperatists, gay mafia). She tried to be the tough commish, but it was just too hard on her.

Awesome smackdown by Rep. King! I just haven’t been able to watch Jane Skinner on Fox ever since this panty waste Goodell made his original statement about Rush being divisive. Jane comes on, TV goes off. Same with anything NFL.

I already stopped watching two weeks ago, when Rush was booted from the Rams group.

Rush mentioned later that Goodell is the son of Charles Goodell, the liberal New York “Republican” who lost to James Buckley in 1970. Maybe Goodell fils is still smarting over the conservatives’ triumph.
