Exactly - Rush is a sports FAN. This may be a business venture, but I think the most important thing is he loves the sport of Football. He will be in it to win and that will be great for the Rams and St. Louis.
Checketts has turned around the blues as well. They were back in the playoffs last year after a few years out of the mix and this year they are looking awesome!
We also had this happen to the Cardinals. Gussie Busch loved baseball and you could tell. After he passed in 89, they started treating the Cardinals like a business, cut costs and eventually sold the team. Thanksfully the new owners love baseball and the team is doing well.
