I would ease off a little bit today, Rush just lost a dear friend of his and right now, a lot of the northeastern listeners are prepping for a major snow storm.
I love Rush too, but am not a football fan, so I get quite bored when he talks about Football.
However, he DOES have a point about how the left is trying to destroy what is a uniquely American Game by claiming it’s sexist, dangerous, too violent, or not nearly as fun as soccer.
Rush is a football fan from way back, and considers the sport to be an integral part of the American Culture that he cherishes.
But I do change the channel when he gets into it, because I am just not interested.
I have found by going to his web sight and reading his monologues without becoming a Rush 24/7 because I too am retired on fixed income I can get the gist of what he has been talking about. I get tired of so many commercial on AM radio and this eliminates that.
BTW...I have listened to RUSH since he was in Sacramento so its coming up on 3 decades for me.

Levin is not calling Limbaugh, Beck, or Hannity, a “Back Bencher.”
I think he means Savage, who is plain bat crap crazy, and national hosts like Mike Gallagher, Mike Medved, Huge hewitt who are all RINO apologists.
Levin hearts Mario Rubio. Enough said.
While I don’t disagree with anything you’ve written, I do agree with the comments suggesting that this is not the day to deconstruct Rush. However, I would be inclined to participate in the conversation you started if you were to re-post it next week.
One time I heard Mark Levin asked about Rush he had nothing but admiration and said something to the effect that Rush was the role model that got him interested in radio.
Given by your comments and the links you posted, it's more likely you're either Mark's program director or his WEBMASTER.......
And for what it's worth, it is Super Bowl week and Rush is a football fan..........
There's 50 more weeks in the year to talk politics..........
I'm also guessing that Rush is looking into an animated Rush Revere movie.
Rush loves his football, golf & jets. ...so we always get his take on current events involving those topics or stories.
...I can live with that.
The time to criticize Rush was last week which we all in the Limbaugh thread did but giving the loss of his friend today cut him some slack.
I like football, so it doesn’t bother me when Rush goes on about it, but I can see how it would bug people who don’t care for it.
I don’t think Rush is a backbencher by any means...Levin used to use that term for Beck, before they made up, or whatever.
But I couldn’t believe it today when I heard Rush say someone had been “coronated” (not a word) instead of “crowned”. I thought, well, I guess the dumbing down of America is complete.
I quit listening when I discovered FR.
His first 10 years were amazing because no one was saying what he was saying. I remember going to restaurants where he was playing(Rush Rooms).
I wish a station would bring Mark Levin back to Austin, TX. I used to listen to William Bennet, too, but his dismissal of Palin pretty much defined him as a Party R ‘bot, IMO.
