This 'Rush Limbaugh Buying the Rams' Talk Is Not Going Away

Rush Limbaugh as the owner of the St. Louis Rams? The team may be on the market because longtime owner Georgia Frontiere died, and Limbaugh buying them is the bizarre NFL rumor that isn't going away.

Limbaugh told the St. Louis Business Journal:

"The Rams would be a great team to have. I have a lot of friends in ownership in the NFL, and my desire to get involved has not been a secret. ...

This is a business decision. ... There is a whole lot of interest in the Rams with the NFL being a business entity that a lot of people want to be involved in. But it's becoming a billionaires' club."

Limbaugh's comments that being an NFL owner is a billionaires' club -- and that he's not a billionaire -- seemed to indicate that his purchasing the Rams was more a fantasy than a possibility. But the St. Louis Post Dispatch reports that Limbaugh could acquire a minority share or be part of a larger conglomerate that buys the Rams.

Is it going to happen? I don't think so. But Limbaugh sounds like he's not ready to rule it out.

Dude, Rush has blown more cash on Vicodin than Brett Favre. How can he afford an NFL franchise?

I really think it would be good for the NFL. But, I've listened to Rush's show on KFI in L.A. on and off for 19 years, (IMHO he's actually a little over the top politically, and needs to get in the real world insted of his imaginary this THIS COUNTRY RULES AS LONG AS THE RICH RUN IT WORLD, time for change is right. But not DEMS or REPS we need DOWN TO EARTH people running the country) and I think he should stay the Heck away from THE LA/ST LOUIS RAMS team.

RAMS FAN SINCE 1965

He did just sign a $400M contract. And he is from the St. Louis area (his hometown of Cape Girardeau is about 2 hours south of the city).

This is indeed a scary reality. What a way for him to stick it to the ESPN suits who fired him.

This is, of course, an outrageous scenario.
Limbaugh is ----OMG---conservative in his political beliefs.
This alone, should be sufficient to disqualify his attempt to become an owner ( or part-owner ) of an NFL team.
Now if this was Al Frankhen, Nancy Pelosi, or Barney Franks it would be a totally different story.

If that lying, hate-monger, druggie buys the Rams, then I will be a Rams fan no more. Must all things that I care about be shat upon by the rapepublicans? That man deserves a punch in the nose, not a nfl team.

If he buys him, he'll cut Steven jackson and declare him to be an RB overrated by a media that wants to see black RBs succeed

As a life long Rams Fan, from L.A. to St. Louis, I can tell you this,,, The day Rush owns one millionth of 1% of this team, I will be done with them. He is the type of scumbag that gives your ordinary scumbag a bad name. I would sooner cheer for the hated 49ers, before I would continue as a Rams Fan, if Scumbaugh joins this team in any capacity.
