  • BAD NEWS FOR ST. LOUIS SPORTS ENTHUSIASTS: A certain man wants to buy your awful football team, the Rams, and he’s known for being disagreeable! It is fat weird person Rush Limbaugh, from the radio. As you may recall, Rush was briefly involved in professional football before. ESPN hired him in 2003 to join its weekly pregame show panel. He did this for a full one (1) episode, during which he just said a bunch of racist stuff before quitting. [NBC Sports]

Maybe please you could pat all the nice Footballers on the ass cheeks and not do the hate-radio? HENNGH?

MLHencken October 5, 2009 at 5:42 pm

He’s just going to own them long enough to fatten them up and eat them.

chascates October 5, 2009 at 5:43 pm

This will only be wonderful if Limbaugh does a play-by-play while doing speed.

Extemporanus October 5, 2009 at 5:44 pm

The Rams have absolutely no defense against the offensive Rush.

Accordion-o-rama October 5, 2009 at 5:44 pm

Rush, owning black men the modern way.

AbstinenceOnly Ed October 5, 2009 at 5:47 pm

We’re going to Pass, Rush. No, I didn’t say pass rush. Because we suck, and have no pass rush. But we heard maybe Robert Mugabe or Kim Jong Il wanted to buy us, so we’re holding out. Next time, my roly poly oxycontin-phreak!

blinky_twinkie October 5, 2009 at 5:49 pm

He should have to buy the Raiders first.

SayItWithWookies October 5, 2009 at 5:49 pm

Dan Snyder’s going to have to work a lot harder if he wants to remain the most loathed owner in the NFL.

problemwithcaring October 5, 2009 at 5:49 pm

Rush, don’t take the “pig skin thing” literally – pro-football doesn’t want you.

S.Luggo October 5, 2009 at 5:50 pm

“Rush Limbaugh had a brief dalliance with the sport he loves.”
Such an opening …

SpikeyDog October 5, 2009 at 5:51 pm

A sly way for him to get his fat fingers on some of those athlete drugs.

AbstinenceOnly Ed October 5, 2009 at 5:54 pm

This obnoxious pairing of the NFL’s least offensive team and Talk Radio’s most offensive host raises a number of troublesome questions, primarily: why is Limpblah interested in a team called “the Rams?” He should by the Vikings and share pain pills with Benedick Favre.

JohnnyMac October 5, 2009 at 5:55 pm

Does he know there are cheaper ways to get one of those fancy hot dog roller-cooker things installed in his bedroom, bathroom, sauna, and SUV?

V572625694 October 5, 2009 at 5:58 pm

El Rushbo is Cape Girardeau in the Missouri panhandle, down where slavery was profitable and legal right up until Emancipation. You haven’t really made it in Missouri until you’ve made it in the “big city,” which to them is St Louis. So creepy jock-sniffer won’t be taking the Rams anywhere.

What does Michael Steele think?

Let’s see that team draft a black QB, ever.

AbstinenceOnly Ed October 5, 2009 at 6:03 pm

I hope he does leave radio, and I hope they hire Donovan McNabb to “fill” his “slot”!!

zenferret October 5, 2009 at 6:08 pm

Rush watches Rachel Maddow.

The Rams are the only team to majorly donate to Democrats not Republicans.

Lascauxcaveman October 5, 2009 at 6:11 pm

This is great, because when Rush owns the Rams, it’ll be that much more satisfying when my Seahawks beat them up. (Which is kind of important now, since the Rams appear to be the only team my Seahawks can beat up these days.)

AbstinenceOnly Ed October 5, 2009 at 6:11 pm

[re=427271]zenferret[/re]: don’t tell me that. the rams are soooo suck. i thought my sf 49ers might be a li’l lefty, but no such luck. all pro sports are a bunch of palin-huffin fundies, huh? /sob/ back to broadway for me!! booooon sooooooooooir!!!!!!!!

On a more positive note, Hopey made us popular WE’RE NUMBER ONE – apparently globally we are the most admired country? So only teabagers hate America now.

Little Known Fact: Boss BlunderRush was fired from the tvs because of that dog’s breakfast of a tie he wore around his neck. The producers just couldn’t take it any longer!

Uncle Joe October 5, 2009 at 6:18 pm

So Marge Schott is dead, right?

President Beeblebrox October 5, 2009 at 6:19 pm

[re=427258]AbstinenceOnly Ed[/re]: This might explain his interest in The Rams.

Mr Blifil October 5, 2009 at 6:24 pm

Presumably he will build them a stadium as well, since the publically financed stadium in which they play is an experiment in socialism.

Norbert October 5, 2009 at 6:24 pm

Let’s see what happens in Obama’s America when Rush tries to choose his seat on the team bus.

Bonus points if Rush is forced to return a punt, with no fair catch allowed.

jumblebunny October 5, 2009 at 6:26 pm

on days like this, i’m glad i prefer futbol…the epl only has to put up with owners like roman abramovich and (until recently) thaksin shinawatra.

Bowdoin October 5, 2009 at 6:34 pm

They placed Limbo Lowernow across from the real panel and he right off insulted Blacks. He said Donovan McNab was on the field for the Eagles because he’s Black, and defense wins for them, not no Black quarterback. Nobody called him on it, although there were Blacks facing the goon, also a mormon. Everybdoy smiled and made nice. EatSpitPatooieNegro.

Mull_Man October 5, 2009 at 6:40 pm

No worries – an anal cyst will bar him from owning the team. It worked before.

Mike Steele October 5, 2009 at 6:41 pm

It won’t work. Rush is a homophobe, and the Rams suck.

is it considered bad form to throw batteries at a team owner? cuz i have a bag of’em here I was gonna recycle some day…

assistant/atlas October 5, 2009 at 6:45 pm

Trying to run a football team without black players would be like trying to run the Republican party without any white guys.

And I think we all know how Michael Steele turned out.

[re=427286]President Beeblebrox[/re]: I’d like to see skoalrebel evaluate that product for us!

[re=427311]Flanders[/re]: As a video head cleaner? As liquid incense? Or as a popper? Popper, right, cause I’m thinking you just want to see SkoalRebel’s head explode like Louis Del Grande’s head in “Scanners.”

Can we hope “el rushbo” decides to be a hands on owner and really get into this full time? Leave the wingtards to becko and hannitty? oh be still my heart. Nah, he will go on blathering forever. Probably already a voice systhesis program to “auto rush” the party line without a living rushbo in the works.

hobospacejunkie October 5, 2009 at 7:21 pm

Only in US America can millions of people profess to love a game they never play but only watch, all the while doing their best to become as morbidly obese as possible. Rush would be a perfect owner in this regard.

Jukesgrrl October 5, 2009 at 7:22 pm

[re=427275]AbstinenceOnly Ed[/re]: “…all pro sports are a bunch of palin-huffin fundies, huh?”

No, the usually conservative-Catholic Rooney family, owners of the Steelers, came out so strongly for Obama that the team’s chairman, Dan Rooney, was appointed U.S. ambassador to Ireland as a thank you. For one of my little research projects, I once looked up campaign donations using the job title “football coach.” Coaches donated about 3 to 1 in favor of Republicans most years, but Obama did receive maximum donations from a few, among them Richard Tomey of San Jose State, so maybe you have a new team to cheer for.

steve October 5, 2009 at 7:23 pm

ShadowMark – sorry but I failed chemistry, are you suggesting that if you ram liquid aroma up your snout you’ll pop or is it missing some key ingredient that prevents the maker from endorsing their product for its primary and most profitable function given the demise of video heads? Chemistry = bad anagrams.

Mahousu October 5, 2009 at 8:51 pm

So this would make Marge Schott only the second most racist owner of a major sports franchise in modern times?

She’d probably be more annoyed than relieved by that, though. Well, except for the fact she’s dead.

imissopus October 5, 2009 at 8:56 pm

Amazing to think Georgia Frontierre would become only the second-most hated owner in Rams history.

comicbookguy October 5, 2009 at 8:58 pm

Does Rush know they disbanded the “magic negro” league?

S.Luggo October 5, 2009 at 9:01 pm

The supposedly offending sentences:
— “I think what we’ve had here is a little social concern in the NFL. The media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well,” Limbaugh said. —

Once again, the MSM has tinted Rush’s innocent words to meet their socialist’s ends thru Marxist-Leninist-Taliban agitprop. Limbaugh was referring to the “Black Irish”, who most famous NFL player was the over-heralded, “Speer Chucker Jones”.

hiphophitler October 5, 2009 at 9:20 pm

Is Rush aware that the Rams employ dozens of large black men who walk around the locker room singing rap songs about how cool Obama is? And that if he owned the team he would have to pay these men millions of dollars? Just curious.

crankypants October 5, 2009 at 9:55 pm

Rush Limbaugh is an Oxy-moron.

Jumping Jim October 5, 2009 at 10:35 pm

The NFL, a great source of Oxy.

However, before everyone gets in an uproar, the fact of his little drug problem and the resulting amusingly small punishment means that the NFL has a plausible way of denying ol’ Rushbo from joining the fraternity.

He may talk about buying in, but it won’t be approved.

hobospacejunkie October 5, 2009 at 10:38 pm

[re=427354]S.Luggo[/re]: That small catholic college beat my large land grant university a week ago. One school policy at Purdue I am proud of: athletes must be accepted into the university before they are awarded an athletic scholarship. This in contrast to most, like UTexas here in Austin, where if you are given an athletic scholarship you are automatically accepted into the school.

Now what were we talking about? Oh yeah, Mr. Minstrelsy vs. The Drunken Orange Clown.

SayItWithWookies October 5, 2009 at 10:41 pm

Hey, I just thought of something. Rush got into radio because it was the family business. Now he’s thinking about buying the Rams. And of course he rants about politics every day.
So — who comes to mind who last made it big by going from nepotism to sports franchise ownership to politics? Dubya.
Rush is following the Dubya Recipe for Immortality in the Annals of Freedom. Just in time for 2016, when there’ll be a whole lotta socialism to fix.

hobospacejunkie October 5, 2009 at 10:43 pm

Oh wait, we were talking about Fat Bloke buying into the Rams. St. Louis being one of the ever-growing number of cities to have stolen a sports franchise from another city by enticing the owner with piles & piles of taxpayer money.

[re=427372]hobospacejunkie[/re]: Don’t forget the last owner of the Rams, Georgia Frontiere, acquired the Rams when her husband, an avid swimmer, died in a mysterious swimming accident. That’s a pretty Republican way of taking over a business.

villageatrois October 6, 2009 at 12:17 am

Rush is a major assclown, so it’s no surprise he bought something that would fit in there. The Rams were cheaper than the Packers. The Trojans, though good enough, are only semi-pro.

Smoke Filled Roommate October 6, 2009 at 12:28 am

I think Rush has some kind of ‘roid envy’. Both are ass-related.

NYNYNY October 6, 2009 at 12:31 am

The Oxy Doxy, being a virile white man, intends to quarterback his new team, at least the first season.

I might be hard to win with an all white team, Rush.

I hope he fails…. sound familiar?

zhubajie October 6, 2009 at 3:12 am

[re=427285]Uncle Joe[/re]: Yes, she is. Anyway, she was into baseball. I suppose Rush could imitate her habit of eating the lunches the players brought from home.

LowerdPeninsula October 6, 2009 at 3:58 am

Well, you know what they say; once you go black, well…you win Superbowls, and shit. So…Rush, you may want to reconsider the whole racist thing, ok?

BTW, St. Louis, the actual place, must be hell for Limbaugh. It’s full of things he hates the most: blacks, liberals, history, fine architecture, higher education…

nutcracker October 6, 2009 at 9:06 am

One of Limbaugh’s first jobs was working in the PR department for the Kansas City Royals where, according to the players at the time, and Limbaugh himself, he was a complete tool and was the favorite victim for any and all pranks.

The (white) quarterback will be warned never to throw to the left.
