2:1 he doesn't make it through the season?
SOLD! 2:1 bid for $100. Clear the trade through REFCO, Iowa Grain, or Man Int'l, don't care which.
I'll be here at the end of the season, will you? (w!)

A left-fielder, I presume?Nope, just someone who can see the truth for what it is. No reality distortion fields here when it comes to Rush.

I receieved an e-mail from the president of our Chicago (Cleveland) Browns Backers Club venting about Rush and full of all sorts of misquotes and hearsay. I gently tried to set him straight but doubt that I succeeded.

Rush is the most successful person in the history of radio.
How dare you call him failed, even though you may disagree with his politics, methods or attitude?
Also, Rush is a very astute football fan.

Don't pin your hopes on a failed top 40 DJ.A left-fielder, I presume? Nope, just someone who can see the truth for what it is. No reality distortion fields here when it comes to Rush.

Makes ya wonder what's got his panties in a wad!
To: Guillermo
How dare you call him failedYou need to reread what I wrote. He WAS a failed top 40 DJ who invented the word Feminazi. He has zero experience with anything in polotics, nor has any kind of background to be THE AUTHORITY on anything. For example - I could listen to Meryl Streep talk about ALAR, but I'll choose to listen to the scientists.

Rush failed like Michael Jordan failed when he didn't make the varsity team when he was in 9th grade.

I'm starting to wonder if this is not a kinda pre-warm-up for EL Rushbo on Monday Night Football. He was considered for the booth but ABC ended up hiring Miller.
Another point is that MNF has always had 3 guys in the booth for as long as I know of. Right now it's only Al and John. Something to think about anyways.

Here's the e-mail from my Browns Backers Chapter Pres. that I referred to above:
"Hi everybody, sorry I didn't get you an update before the first preseason game but I was on vacation (yeah I know "you're happy for me"). Anyway, before I get to the Browns update there is something I have to get off my chest.
Just before I left town ESPN announced that they were hiring Rush Limbaugh to do commentary on their Sunday morning pregame show. This is just TOO MUCH. Now I try to never mix football with politics because one of the things I love about Browns football is that I can root, yell and scream for the Browns and hi five and hug the fan next to me without any regard to his or her politics, race, ethnicity, color, nationality, sexual orientation or even gender identification. Under the eyes of football we are all one big family. Rush Limbaugh, whether you like him or not, is one of the most polarizing characters in the media business having said some truly nasty things about large segments of the population. For instance - commenting on Black people "Black people are only 12% of the populations who cares what they think" " The NAACP should have riot rehearsals" - Commenting on working women "I'm tired of all these feminazis talking about equality" - commenting on Latinos "they are all wetbacks anyway". Keep in mind that 65% of NFL players are Black and a large segment of NFL viewers and Browns Backers are independent women whom he would characterize as Feminnazis. Anyway you get the picture. Besides just what is Rush going to bring to the football table besides his divisiveness. Is he really going to be able to tell Tom Jackson, Sterling Sharpe and the rest of the ESPN commentators something they don't know about football? Heck, is he going to be able to draw on his vast football knowledge to tell even me or most of the very knowledgable women Browns Backers anything we don't already know to say nothing of Cleveland Mike? Is there anyone who is going to tune in to hear Rush's football expertise, I don't think so. People, if they do tune in, will be waiting to hear him insult some segment of the audience or make some stupid reference to liberals, George Bush or even Bill Clinton. This is NOT what football needs. Wasn't Dennis Miller bad enough?? Of course if you disagree with me please feel free to drop me a note and unlike Rush's show I'll put it in the next update. In the meantime you can bet the one pregame show I WON'T be watching will be ESPN's until he is gone. There I feel better now."

Re: post 33---Do you believe that Limbaugh will have any kind of background or knowledge that will help comment on football?

I don't want these pundit/comedians on during the game as Miller was - am willing to see how Rush does because they are at least smart enough to be doing it pre-game.
