If it weren't bad enough that the Rams have the worst team in football -- believe it or not, their 0-4 record would actually suggest that they are better than they are -- now Rush Limbaugh is making a bid to buy the team. I'm having a hard enough time supporting them as they are, but that might well render it impossible. It's bad enough that Rush is from my state -- if this goes through, he'll be connected in a significant way to my city. Not good.

Re: Bad News for Rams Fans
poor rams, i really wanna see them rise, but under limbaugh... no way!
wtf...Those are Limbaugh's words. So are these:
"I mean, let's face it, we didn't have slavery in this country for over 100 years because it was a bad thing. Quite the opposite: Slavery built the South. I'm not saying we should bring it back. I'm just saying it had its merits. For one thing, the streets were safer after dark."(((( }-d|-__-|b-{ ))))Comment

Re: Bad News for Rams Fans
The columnist hit it on the head, IMO -- politics are one thing, but Limbaugh's antics go beyond mere political disagreement. Not the face I want for my local team.Comment

Re: Bad News for Rams Fans
Dang, i'm going to have to disagree with you here Toasty. OMG!!! lol.
Rush isn't my first choice, but at this point I'm hoping for anyone with an solid interest, and he's interested. He's local. He loves football. He's freaking filthy rich. He'll keep the team here. He wants the team to succeed. Politics aside, the guy is a marketing genius, which the Rams could desperately use. Plus it's a partnership with Dave Checkets who is super awesome and who turned the Blues around. I think it's 100% win if Rush gets involved...i don't mix politics with football, so this is a non-issue to me. I'm sure Jerry Jones is a huge republican douchebag too, but i'll bet Dallas doesn't care.
Btw, Burwell is the worst "journalist" in the city, I can't stand that ass kisser.Comment

Re: Bad News for Rams Fans
well, I had formed my opinion before I read Burwell's column, he just happened to come up with some specific examples of the sort of comments that will become associated with our hometown if Rush gets on board.
I suppose part of it is that I'm a Chiefs fan first and foremost, and while I root for the Rams, I don't really think of them as my team. As far as I'm concerned, the biggest problem with the team leaving is that we'd never get another chance, having lost two franchises, and I'm enough of a football fan that that would really bum me out.
I'm sure most owners are republicans, so it's definitely not that for me. It's the fact that I just think he's a loathsome person.Comment

Re: Bad News for Rams Fans
i agree, rush is a loathsome person, but i don't go to games and wonder what the owner is up to. not once did georgia frontierre, or whatever her name was, ever enter my mind when the superbowl rams team took the field...greatest show on turf. remember those days? i want it back, and if rush can do it, bring it.Comment

Re: Bad News for Rams Fans
The thing is, though, most NFL owners are pretty much in the background. The ones that you know, well it's either very good or very bad. When I think of the Oakland Raiders, I think of Al Davis, and suffice it to say, my thoughts aren't particularly flattering to the city of Oakland. Maybe that's completely unfair, but that's reality. I'd hate for people to think of St Louis as "Rush Limbaugh's town."
At least Checketts is in the mix as well.Comment

Re: Bad News for Rams Fans
...and now my concerns have come to fruition (I kinda sound like runningman there): some NFL players have indicated that they would not play for a Limbaugh-owned team. If his ownership starts to shrink the pool of available talent, then you can't really just say "politics is politics, football is football, and never the two shall twain" and leave it at that, because clearly the people that matter -- the players -- view them as connected.Comment
