I like Rush. I think he would've done a great job, but that was one idiotic comment on a classic hot button topic. The only race that Rush should've been concerned about is the race for the Superbowl.

Exactly.

Why on earth he felt he had to deliver social commentary on black quarterbacks is beyond me.

I fear that Rush will get branded now, as Jimmy the Greek did.

But, I also thought he had grown more media savvy.

Sadly, he hasn't.

In a momentary lapse of reason, he thought he was Jimmy the Greek.

"I think he would've done a great job, but that was one idiotic comment on a classic hot button topic."

I agree. Rush should know the media has a zero-tolerance policy for idiotic comments by conservatives; liberals are cut a lot more slack. I honestly thought Rush could keep politics out of his NFL job, but I was wrong. I guess when you've done a solo show for years, you forget how to discipline yourself.

First of all, the worst thing about his comment had nothing about race, but that it was totally wrong. McNabb has no wide receivers, his best running back in the last 3 yrs was a 3rd string has-been with the Redskins, and he has an unimaginative coach who reigns him in. Despite that he has led his team to the NFL title game for the last two years. 26 other NFL QB's should be so overrated.

I saw McNabb play for 4 years in College and despite having a horrible offensive line and running backs that didn't find holes but found piles of people he was the best QB I have seen in 30 years of watching the game. IF only he had a OL that could have protected him.

Jeff Garcia stinks up the joint for three weeks, Tom Brady wins one, loses one, Warner goes south, noone cries overrated. Jay Fielder has the best running back in the last 20 yrs in his backfield and they struggle to score 10 pts and hes "valiant", "a true competitior" .McNabb has a bad streak and this crap comes up. When Elway would go to the Super Bowl and go 8-8 the next year nobody cried overrated.

I like Rush but damn that comment had no basis in fact. And he should have been smart enough not to even go there. He had a target on him the size of Texas. Now all the 7 dwarves are lining up to pile on. Now one of "Us" gave them some semi-real ammo to race-bait with.
