That about nails the football side of the issue. The vengence of the white-guilt crowd won't be affected by this however.

Surprising Truthful analysis of what Rush said and the facts that verify it.

Don't ge too caught up in those FACTs in this story. Do you know how many stats are kept for individuals and teams in hte NFL? You can pull stats on 1972 Dolphins team that went undefeated that make them look like the worst team in the league that year. Last year the Eagles set a franchise record for points scored in a season. But how can that be, with the stats that were given in the article? Dig a little deeper before you claim victory. Now what is that saying? Oh yeah - "Lies, damn lies and statistics"

To pretend that many of us didn’t want McNabb to be the best quarterback in the NFL because he’s black is absurd.

There are dozens of reasons people want certain players to be the best, for some it may be race, for others it may be the college they attended, for still others it's because they like the guys image. Unless Rush could make a case that more honest assessments of McNabb were silenced because they were intimidated by those who so wanted a black to be the best, he didn't need race to make his point.

More and more, with the developments today, I wonder if Rush wasn't talking about the power of the media to prop up or destroy depending on their emotional or political attachment to their subject.

If the other accusations about Rush are true then he was on drugs when he made the McNabb statement and therefore not responsible for his actions according to liberalism. Sorry Dems, you just lost one of these issues.

This guy Barra knows sports. He had De La Hoya beating Sugar Shane Mosely 7-4-1. I saw it the same way. And I see it the same way with regards to Rush but Rush should never have resigned. Of course, maybe he wouldn't have had the drug thing not surfaced but we'll never know.

As harsh as Barra is on McNabb, the stats suggest he was still being overly-kind.

Rush's error was that he "attacked" the media....the integrity of the media can NEVER be questioned.

No one said a word when Dusty Baker said the Cubs couldn't win because they had too many white guys. He wasn't even asked to resign.
