Salary shouldn't matter to him anymore. I agree he is probably set for life anyways. He must have so much $$$ that he needed to throw it away by investing in the NFL.

Well now, are you calling Rush a racist? Prove it. Where is the evidence?

Facts please.

It always amazes me that the critics of Rush rely on hearsay for their criticism. I'll bet you (like the rest) have never listened to his show, or have only listened once or twice, and not even for the entire three hours.

But you leftists are just so full of hate you can't help yourselves.

As a Jew, you should know what he means by "talent on loan from God".

And how do I know you are Jewish? Because Jews cannot spell out "God". That is why you use "G-d".

As a Christian (and we believe we are Jews by adoption) I know (as does Rush) that are talents are gifts from God. And of course this is what he means.

You should know that.

As for the team you speak of, not being a football fan, I don't know if there is any talent there or not.

Sounds like a case of "pot meet kettle" to me.

I really don't get this seige mentality. He and the rest of the talk radio crowd have tons of listeners. And then there's Fox News, which is huge in its own right. But still the liberal media controls everything? Come on.

What planet do you live on?

Anyone ever heard of Al Davis, Oakland Raiders. Yeah the NFL is one to talk.
Funny how this small group of hate mongers became a "vast majority", isn't it?

It amazes me how often the leftists pull the "race card". But they are not "racists". Oh, no!

This episode was so typical of the left. Disgusting, really. This is no different than what they have been doing to people like Sarah Palin and other conservatives whom they feel threatened by. It's really sad what the Democrat Party has become. It is the Sol Alinsky Party.

You "come on".

Though it is true that Fox News is the most watched to cable news network, it cannot be said that they "control" anything. The rest of the media is controled by (primarily) by leftists, who all use the same source (the AP) for most of their coverage and stories. There is little originallity, and virtually no investigative journalism.

Fox breaks news, and days later (sometimes a week or more) someone else will pick up the story (the Van Jones story, comes to mind). They are all "Jonny come latelys".

This is so bad that apparently CNN now has someone watching Fox News in order to find out what stories are breaking!

As for your comment ("pot meet kettle") regarding Rush, could you provide any kind of support for such comparison? Please. Something Rush has done? Anything at all? It might give you some credibility.

Three hours??? If you've got that much time to waste, something is missing from your life. Maybe it's this much-more-interesting-than-Rush internet game...

Powder Game

Well this is typical leftist hate speech, is it note?

Rush didn't "fail". I think it's more like others failed him. Checketts should have stuck by him, if he were a true friend. Checketts caved to a bunch of leftist bigots.

Ohhhhhh, "not that [you're] against free speech"! Really, now?

Please provide evidence for your assertion that Rush is not being "honest and truthful with the subject [he] is speaking about". Can you? Are you trying to claim it did not happen as he said it did?

And how do you know this, please?
