I'm the biggest softy there is, but I don't have one iota of sympathy for this moral leper buffoon.
Will be interesting to see what comes of this (though so far the papers this info has appeared in isn't exactly the most reputable).

It is ironic and a bit funny to see one who has jumped all over so many people fro what they said get jumped all over himself. See how he likes it.
If anyone should know better, it was him.

Everything is so PC today especially in regards to race...

Please - he could've said everything about a QB being overrated without going into race. The media build up players all the time - he was free to point that out without turning it into a racial conspiracy.
Notice how repentant he is, too?
Not.

I'm never one who likes to see PC getting to amok and limiting debate and speech. But, that Limbaugh would be unable to contain his political views and concentrate just on football was inevitable and I don't think anyone is surprised he is leaving the show under these circumstances.
As Femfa pointed out, it would have been very easy to make a case about "Landon" Donovan McNab being overrated and not bring up his race.
And, if McNab had been the first black QB, there "might" have been some relevance to the media pulling for him. But, black QBs ain't exactly newsworthy these days. I mean, the days of Doug Williams are long gone.
There are more black QBs right now than I could name.
It was just a stupid thing for Rush to say and, sadly, this little chapter of NFL broadcasting came to a predictable end.

And yet, the furor over his comments puts him in a perfect position to blame the "liberal media" for this.

Well, yeah, because we all know ESPN is dominated and widely watched by Clintonites and America-bashing thugs from the UN.
(I know what you mean, I'm just poking fun at the prospect)

As if the clowns that run the Democratic Party know how to exploit it.

Not like we need to, if they keep imploding upon themselves in this fashion.

I don't agree with Rush. But isn't this the kind of BS that ESPN hired him for?
