RUSH: I have not commented on this on this program, even though the news has been out there since Monday. I had to confirm it when I was asked about it. It was reported Sunday on the CBS NFL Pregame Show by Charley Casserly that I am part of a group with Dave Checketts that has put in a bid on the St. Louis Rams, and that\u2019s all I can say. That\u2019s true. But Goldman Sachs is handling the sale. There\u2019s a confidentiality clause. None of the bidders can disclose anything, can\u2019t talk to anybody. We don\u2019t even know who the other team bidders are and we can\u2019t do anything other than confirm it since it\u2019s a leak. I can\u2019t discuss it. So it\u2019s out there and that is true. Now, they\u2019re talking about this all over the media. Let\u2019s go to ESPN, Pardon the Interruption with Tony Kornheiser and Michael Wilbon. Kornheiser asked Wilbon, ‘Do you think the NFL would approve Rush Limbaugh as a team owner.\u2019<\/p>\n

WILBON: In a half second, Tony. Yeah! Money! It\u2019s about money and how much do you have to spend or buy this team or be in the group that could buy this team. I don\u2019t know that Rush Limbaugh\u2019s politics — in fact, I\u2019m betting aren\u2019t that much different than many — the politics of many of the owners in the NFL. Now, they don\u2019t have his bombast. They don\u2019t publicly offend as many people as Rush Limbaugh does with glee. But when it comes to the buying a team? I don\u2019t see where there\u2019s anything that Rush Limbaugh has done is gonna make that off limits.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Kornheiser next….<\/p>\n

KORNHEISER: He\u2019s not going to disqualify himself in that regard. He\u2019s going to sit in a room and if they ask him particularly about the Donovan McNabb incident he\u2019s going to say, ‘I\u2019m an entertainer. Ahhh, If I erred, I erred on the wrong side of the entertainment.\u2019<\/p>\n

WILBON: Yeah.<\/p>\n

KORNHEISER: ‘But I don\u2019t really mean that. In fact, I\u2019ll hire Donovan McNabb to be my quarterback, if you\u2019ll let me own the Rams.\u2019 He\u2019ll sit in a room comfortably with many if not most of those owners and you\u2019re right, he\u2019s got bucks.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Finally, this exchange between the two of them…<\/p>\n

WILBON: Can you see Rush Limbaugh after the game (bell) hugging some sweaty brothers with tape all over \u2019em and eye black in the living room?<\/p>\n

KORNHEISER: In a heartbeat!<\/p>\n

WILBON: Can you see that?<\/p>\n

KORNHEISER: In a heartbeat.<\/p>\n

WILBON: Me too.<\/p>\n

KORNHEISER: He would do that.<\/p>\n

WILBON: Of course he would.<\/p>\n

KORNHEISER: He\u2019s a sports guy.<\/p>\n

RUSH: It\u2019s kind of shocking the reaction here was enthusiastically supportive. (laughing) (interruption) I\u2019m not… Snerdley, I can\u2019t answer these questions now. I cannot answer. He just asked me, ‘Are you going to hire McNabb?\u2019 I can\u2019t answer! Look, this is so far ahead of things. I can\u2019t answer this. Don\u2019t even ask me anything more about it. It shouldn\u2019t be out there now. Somebody leaked it. There are only two places it could\u2019ve come from, but it is what it is. Then they have another show called Around the Horn, and the host there, Tony Reali was speaking to Woody Paige of the Denver Post. And Reali said, ‘The Rams up for sale, Limbaugh interested. Think he\u2019d make a good owner, Woody Paige?\u2019<\/p>\n

PAIGE: Yes, I do! You\u2019ve heard of the wildcat offense. <\/p>\n

REALI: (chuckling)<\/p>\n

PAIGE: You\u2019ve heard of the wing-T. How about the right-wing-T, and how about that defensive team? We\u2019ve heard about them passing in the past, greatest show on turf. I want an ultraconservative defense out of St. Louis.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So I just… Look, as you know, ladies and gentlemen, I really am reluctant to talk about myself. I try never, ever to do that but this is out there, and I couldn\u2019t act like it\u2019s not. So there. I\u2019ve done that. I got that out of the way. I can\u2019t say any more about it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
