Many years ago I'd be astouned by this whole debate over whether or not Rush Limbaugh should have the opportunity to own the NFL's Rams. Seeing the IQ of my country dip on an annual basis, it's not surprising. Of course he should be allowed. Do we need to check out the politics of every owner of each team in the sports leagues we follow? If or when he becomes a part owner, players and fans can then decide their course of action. The fact so many puppets follow the word of con men like Limbaugh, Glen Beck or Bill O'Reilly is tragic enough. Trust me, they're no more informed, intelligent or credible than the average guy in the street. They're entertainers telling their pathetic core audience exactly what they want to hear regardless of the truth, facts or what's best for the U.S. They care about ratings and their pocket books. PERIOD! Deal with it.
Who aggrevate fans, coaches and managers more, closers in baseball or field goal kickers. This post season we've seen outstanding 9th inning relievers completely whizz away games. Last night it was Huston Street of the Rockies. Had 2 outs with the tying run on second base and was facing the Phillies Chase Utley with bomber Ryan Howard on deck. He pitched Utley like he was a combination of Babe Ruth, Willie Mays and Roy Hobbs. Walked him. Eventually blew the game. Joe Nathan of the Twins got raked over the coals by the Yankees. The Red Sox Jonathan Papelbon coughed up a 2 run lead on Sunday that ended Boston's season. Just makes we Yankee fans get how unique Mariano Rivera is. For the most part, save 2001 versus Luis Gonzalez and 1997 against Sandy Alomar Jr, he's money. Dodgers & Philly begins Thursday while New York begins with the Halos on Friday. It's a beautiful thing.

Steve, you are missing the point. Of course he is allowed to be an owner it's just that the other owners are not going to want the poisonous PR nightmare that is the bigot Rush Limbaugh.
