From an October 14 washingtonpost.com blog post:

A potential ownership group that is attempting to purchase the St. Louis Rams has dropped radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh as an investor.

The group includes Dave Checketts, the chairman of hockey's St. Louis Blues, and announced the decision to drop Limbaugh on Wednesday.

“Rush was to be a limited partner--as such, he would have had no say in the direction of the club or in any decisions regarding personnel or operations,” Checketts said in a written statement. “This was a role he enthusiastically embraced.

”However, it has become clear that his involvement in our group has become a complication and a distraction to our intentions; endangering our bid to keep the team in St. Louis. As such, we have decided to move forward without him and hope it will eventually lead us to a successful conclusion."
