Just a couple of things. First, I didn't do this post because I hate Rush (though I kind of do), but because I thought it was newsworthy. Second, a few weeks ago rcade had a piece about what a mistake ESPN was making hiring Rush for their pregame show (he knows a lot about football; so do thirty million other people in this country). To be honest, I have not watched ESPN's pregame this season. But I was disgusted by Rush's comments about McNabb. Hey Rush, there are now a dozen black starting quarterbacks in the NFL; the "liberal" media wasn't playing up McNabb for some inspirational Jackie Robinson story. One reason sports is so popular is because it is a diversion from all of the political bs we get tired of during the week. The reason Rush doesn't belong on ESPN is because he never lets go of the political. But I might be wrong. ESPN execs are defending Rush because their ratings are up.
