      This is a big loss for him. With all the talking he has been doing about this, you can tell he really wanted it. So back on the pills he goes. Al that needs to be done is a little gloating by all the people that don't like him. It will be way too much for him to handle.

      Rush wouldn't cave but his partners had no problem with throwing him under the bus.

        It's almost as though his horrible ranting against Obama for saying "hey it'd be neat if we had the Olympics" came back and bit him in his fat posterior. How THAT for Karma, Rushbo?

      Kudos to the conservatives of the NFL Owner's Guild, as I like to call them. I STILL find it "curious" that JUST after a report comes out that claims that the Rams are the most Liberal team in the NFL, Rush tries to buy the team. I believe this is his own brand of "De-fund the Left," and the NFL called him out on it.

      ...that, and the fact that all this guy's opinions about minorities in America come with a cape and a hood.

      Rams has a lot of black players, what the he*l was Rush thinking when he applied? I guess he belive black people are not only dumb and forgetful too. Go help people in your poor communities and stop trying to get more richer than what you deserve now.

      So, I guess the NFL has a "liberal bias" as well? I can't wait to hear his spin on this one.

      Let's see, according to Limbaugh:
      MSM - liberal
      Hollywood - liberal
      Sports reporters - liberal
      Most of the western industrialized countries - liberal
      NFL Owners Guild - .... It's coming. Just wait.

      I just want to make sure I have this right. Rush screams all day about Obama and the Olympics. Rush doesn't get his football team. Can we use some of Rush's quotes here perhaps? "The worst day of [Rush's] life" or "The [NFL] has rejected Limbaugh!"
