Excellence in something or other
The St. Louis Rams were a slightly-less-than-indifferent 3-13 last year, which doesn’t bother Rush Limbaugh in the least, since he doesn’t own the team — yet:
[T]he conservative talk radio host said he would be interested in buying the St. Louis Rams if the team were for sale. “The Rams would be a great team to have,” Limbaugh said in a phone interview from his Palm Beach, Fla., studio. “I have a lot of friends in ownership in the NFL, and my desire to get involved has not been a secret.” Limbaugh grew up in Cape Girardeau but said that does not play into his thinking about the Rams.
There is no indication, however, that current Rams ownership — Chip Rosenboom and Lucia Rodriguez, children of the late Georgia Frontiere — have any plans to sell. And there’s one other hurdle to be cleared:
“I have no debt whatsoever. This would require changing that,” [Limbaugh] said. “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.”
Rush’s brush with team ownership is sure to be as successful as his last venture into an NFL-related enterprise. Guess this means Donovan McNabb can cross off St. Louis as a future roster destination.
On the upside, hatred of team owners seems to be running a little higher than usual lately, but if there’s one thing that bothers Rush Limbaugh hardly at all, it’s being on the receiving end of hatred.
Maybe it will happen when Condi Rice becomes NFL Commissioner.
