So it's okay for this blowhard to subject his readers to a political rant in a sports mag, but Rush should be forbidden from even discussing football on a football show? And that crack about Neanderthal opinion is a slap at anybody who's not a card carrying liberal. Typical NAALCP, leftist twit.

Oops, missed that this had already posted. Didn't scroll down far enough the first time. Please pull if you need to.

At least yours wasn't needlessly excerpted.

I wonder if ol' Roy hates all white people. Or just the conservative ones...

Boy, you gotta admire the intolerance. What would this guy do if he saw Limbaugh in a restaurant, refuse to dine there?

The Left just doesn't want to allow Limbaugh to appear as a normal, sports-loving guy because it will ruin their portrait of him as a child-eating monster. They want to deny him any and all forums where viewers can see for themselves and make up their own minds.

I don't want to listen to Rush Limbaugh.

Then shut-up and don't listen! Listening to limo leftists such as yourself constantly whine and complain is far more tedious and exacerbating than anything Rush has ever said or done.

Its hard to listen to Sports radio nowadays. Its so PC that it makes me want to puke.

The only show I used to listen to was "Kiley and Booms" on FoxSports. Fox fired Chuck Booms last December (never found out why), so I gave up listening to sports on the radio all together.

Rush is none of the things this guy says he is. Why does it seem that a good number of these sports writers appear to be effeminate wusses?

Back when I was in my first year of college, I actually listened to Larry King's radio show. I won't say I was mush-minded, but I wasn't terribly critically interested in 'the outside world'. Hey, I was in college, and more concerned about passing my classes than in politics. I remember Larry and his callers being, shall we say, less than favorable towards Rush. Not knowing any better, I formed a 'default opinion' of him. A few years later, when I actually listened to the program, I found him to be far less strident than his advance billing led me to believe.

I think that most people who demonize Rush either have not listened to his show (but rather, have received their impressions secondhand), or, disagree with him so much that they can't help but call him names. It takes a LOT of intellectual honesty, not to mention maturity, to admit that your political opposite is a reasonable human being. Far easier to view him or her as a monster, which makes it easier to justify one's own opinions without actually having to ARGUE them.

Politics, no matter the slant, simply has no place in our sports arenas.

Was this guy complaining when Martha Burke was being adulated by most of his sport media buddies regarding the boycott of the Masters? I didn't think so. Typical liberal hypocrite.

>In a reasonable world -- one in which Limbaugh and his ilk have the right to speak their views, and I have the right to tune them out -- I wouldn't have to listen to his Neanderthal opinions.

Obvious that this maroon has never listened to Rush yet has an opinion based on the shouting head concept of right wing radio which Rush supposedly embodies.

The writer should be careful because alot od people have those radio things and have actually heard Rush. The thing about Rush is that he talks about ideas and reads columns and articles at length (rather than pushing hotbutton issues like the radio consultants say you should).

Rush is actually one of the calmer voices out there in terms of his manners and delivery.

Rush's handling of the whole Monday Night Football brush off means he has got to be the ultimate salesman. Instead of getting on the radio and making his getting passed over an issue, he kept himself in play and now has this new sportscasting opportunity.

Oh right, as if sport stars' "street" images, opinons, charities, "progressive" hair color, piercings, tatoos and loose lifestyles aren't in full view. As if "good ol' white-bread U.S. of A" doesn't get a heaping helping of homosexuality, pro-abortion, straight hating, conservative bashing shoved down our throats on literally EVERY TV SHOW that airs...

And moron here can't tolerate Rush? Get over it you big-mouth whining jerk...

Thank you, I feel much better now :)

How about we give a Freeper pass on blowhard dumbell S.Roy Johnson?

[KC_Conspirator]

It will be intriguing to see just how many potential viewers choose to do the same.

I will bet my house that actually more viewers will choose to do exactly the opposite - watch his ESPN show because he is on. I guess this jack@$$ should not appear on CNN every Thursday - What a hypocrite.

[Bubba_Leroy]

[Joe_October]

I'll be watching.

And for the record, if we don't agree with a person's politics, can we just declare their business democratic and kick them out? I mean, I don't really need to have my Must See Thursday filled with people with an agenda?

Rush will speak on football and he is well qualified. My guess is he won't even mention politics. He knows his job is as an entertainer and ESPN is paying him to discuss football.

It drives the Rats crazy to be out of power. Get used to it.
