Limbaugh already down a vote in bid to buy Rams

BOSTON â€” Rush Limbaugh's bid to buy the St. Louis Rams ran into opposition within the NFL on Tuesday, when Colts owner Jim Irsay vowed to vote against him and commissioner Roger Goodell said the conservative commentator's "divisive" comments would not be tolerated from any NFL insider.

"I, myself, couldn't even consider voting for him," Irsay said at an owners meetings. "When there are comments that have been made that are inappropriate, incendiary and insensitive ... our words do damage, and it's something that we don't need."

*snip*

Prominent blacks are already lining up against Limbaugh, including the Revs. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. NFL Players Association head DeMaurice Smith, who is black, urged players to speak out against Limbaugh's bid, and several have already said they would not play for his team.

Any bets on which campaign received money from Irsay last fall? ::)

Care to bet that these people have taken the so called "Limbaugh quotes" at face value and believed everything to be true.

In that case, Jay Leno is in big trouble.

I googled about a half dozen quotes attributed to Limbaugh today and most of them are only listed on lefty blogs without citation or verification. About the only one that was verified was the one about Donavan McNabb.
