Talking head Limbaugh talking about owning Rams

Will his “excellence in broadcasting” translate into “excellence in football”?


Rush Limbaugh is back in the game. This time, though, the conservative talk show host has his eyes on owning a team rather then talking about one.


He’s been on a football hiatus since 2003, when he drew fire for remarks about Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb.
CBS reports Limbaugh’s is among the three bids submitted to buy the St. Louis Rams. Dave Checketts, founder and chairman of sports, entertainment and media firm SCP Worldwide, is also a confirmed bidder — but little is known whether the bid includes the share owned by businessman Stan Kroenke or the children of late Rams co-owner Georgia Frontiere.
