Los Angeles Rams - what year is this??

For really old Freepers, it would be the Cleveland Rams. ;~))

[Red in Blue PA]

That needs to be shouted.....

The NFL gives “second chances” only to thugs, murderers, rapists, drunks, druggies, felons, dog killers, and steroid junkies...but a conservative talk show host who wants to use his own money to buy a team that is the worst in the league? No.

[Anima Mundi]

When entertainers try to influence politics and I go to their movies, or performances, I am in effect making a campaign contribution since the only reason they have a public voice is because they are famous and they are only famous because they have an audience. If they have no audience they will have no money to throw around and no “voice” either. This seems to be about the last bit of power we have, to shrug at these people. They can’t (yet) make us buy tickets.

[LukeL]

How is Rush owning the Rams any different than Herb Kohl owing the Bucks?

[Unlikely Hero]

that’s what I think too.

[beandog]

And why would he have to answer any questions regarding any of those things? They have nothing to do with the case. You can’t just ask any questions you want during trial.

[clintonh8r]

Goodell is a candyass.

[khnyny]

Its all over except the litigation......go get em Rush!

I hope Limbaugh sues the $hit out of these idiots. This sets a very bad precedent and one that the NFL can ill afford if they still want to keep paying their top players their overly inflated salaries.

What are they going to do? Raise the already obscene prices and attempt to bleed more money from the fans? Prediction - this whole thing is going to backfire - bigtime.

[GodGunsGuts]

That sucks. Here's a mischievous thought...could’t the group just include him later :o)

[niteowl77]

If nothing else, Rush has found out what is inside these people when they are squeezed.

(And it ain't Shinola.)

[teddyballgame]

“Boycott the NFL...”

Ah, sorry loyalties run only so deep.

[Carling]

It would be fitting (and ironic) if Checketts can’t find additional funds, and the team ends up moving back to the Los Angeles area with a new stadium.

[STARWISE]

Beyond sickening .. and I’m very chagrined at Jane
Skinner’s husband, NFL Commish Roger Goodell, who
I had thought was a man of reason and backbone.

And so much for a partner like Checketts .. good
that Rush learned now that he’s a spineless wuss.

No Rush: Limbaugh Out Of Rams Bid

The PC and thought PO-lice run the world.

Marxism in action! What can anyone really say; it’s what you do about it that counts.

[newfreep]

Heaven Can Wait - one of my all time fav films and easily one of Warren Beatty's better movies. Nice screen name you got there!

Always found Julie Christie extraordinarily beautiful...

[GregB]

Rush start your own league!!!!

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

Cleveland Rams (1937-1942, 1944-1945)

[Buckeye McFrog]

Roger Goodell addressed Limbaugh’s potential involvement in the league and said “divisive comments are not what the NFL is all about.”

Hey, Roger. You ever heard of T.O.???

Now that's the quote of the day.

>>> I am sure Marc Levin would do this Pro Bono with Landmark Legal. <<<

That would be a great plan
