ST. LOUIS (AP)—Green Bay Packers fans are known as cheeseheads. Could fans of the St. Louis Rams soon be dittoheads?
Conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh said Tuesday he is teaming up with St. Louis Blues owner Dave Checketts in a bid to buy the Rams, owners of the NFL’s longest losing streak at 14 and just 5-31 since 2007.
In a statement, Limbaugh declined to discuss details, citing a confidentiality agreement with Goldman Sachs, the investment firm hired by the family of former Rams owner Georgia Frontiere to review assets of her estate, including the NFL team.
Limbaugh also declined to discuss other partners that might be involved in the bid, but said he and Checketts would operate the team.

“Another run to the right by the Rams....”
FRiends...can you imagine the possibilities with Rush owning the Rams? Heads on the communist left would go into orbit if they had to watch Rams owner Rush Limbaugh receiving the Super Bowl trophy after the Rams victory in 2014. Wouldn’t it be even better if NBC was broadcasting the game that year? Olbermann having to interview the victorious owner on live TV in front of fifty million viewers? Rush receiving the congratulatory phone call from President Sarah Heath Palin?
St. Louis Dittoheads..
has a nice ring to it..
Rush is probably going to be the MINORITY partner in the deal.
lol.
What? He’s not letting his pal Clancy in on the deal?
Hmm. I’m not much of a football watcher these days, but it seems to me that the money quote may be buried down near the bottom of the story:
“Los Angeles is still without a team, and a loophole in the Rams’ lease allows them to move as early as 2014 if the Edward Jones Dome is not deemed among the top quarter of all NFL stadiums. Though just 14 years old, the dome is fast becoming one of the league’s older venues, and getting it into the top quarter seems unlikely.”
Hell for liberal sports writers would be watching Rush being handed the Vince Lombardi trophy (although the way the Rams are going that won’t be for a few years at the earliest).
Snerdly can be the new coach.
So much for being a Steelers fan.
I wish he’d buy the Lions and get them out of the hands of William Ford........
The Rams have a shot at matching the Lions 0-16 mark of last year.
As a hardcore Steelers fan, I do not want to see this happen as obviously he would no longer be a fan of the greatest football team in the NFL.
I don’t see the League allowing it. There will be protests if they think about it.
Illiterate and hateful liberals, assuming their usual, vastly ignorant perspective, are claiming that with Rush as part owner, the team won’t have any black players.
He couldn’t afford to buy a football team?
El Rushbo is becoming a ram?
BUMP
Maybe it’ll tweak however little interest I have in pro football.
