Srorts Media Now Runs The NFL

Let me start by saying that I'm not a real huge fan of Rush Limbaugh, in fact I find him pompous and self-absorbed. But I respect his talent and intellect. The guy has made enough money talking on the radio to be a co-owner of an NFL team, and they aren't cheap...we're talking $1B to start. The guy is a fan of the sport, and I believe those are the guys that make the best owners. It's about winning for guys like that, not just turning a profit every year. The Detroit Lions would benefit from just such an owner. But apparently the sports media, meaning ESPN, now runs the NFL. Last week a few "sports commentators" led by Michael Wilbon and Tony Kornheiser created a controversy where there was none in an attempt to boost their own pathetic ratings. Michael Wilbon knowingly quoted Limbaugh saying something he never said in a cheap attempt to create controversy and draw attention to his floundering TV show. And like flys on sh!t, the rest of the ESPN gang jumped on the bandwagon. And since nothing draws a crowd like a crowd, the rest of the media was all over the story the next day. End result: Limbaugh was dropped by the group and will probably never achieve his lifelong dream of owning an NFL team...over something he never said. The guy has talked on the radio for 3 hours a day for 20 years, so ask yourself this; if he's a racist why did Wilbon have to make something up? They should have been able to find plenty of real quotes, shouldn't they? These so-called sports commentators are so obsessed with race it's a joke. These are the same clowns who, after 6 years in the league, were still saying that Michael Vick would revolutionize the sport as soon as he learned how to throw. How has that worked out? And I don't remember Wilbon, Tony Kornholer, or Collin Couldntgetlaidbya Cowherd saying a word when gangster rapper and former crack dealer Jay-Z became co-owner of the New Jersey Nets. But I guess Jay-Z isn't as "controversial" as Rush. Or is it something else?
