I find that kind of small stuff with him. My question to you is did you see the Dallas Cowboy game with the Philadelphia Eagles this week?<\/line><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I did.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: And did you see what happened with Michael Vick?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah, he\u2019s getting beat up.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Getting beat up. When he went out of bounds and he was out of bounds and the guy comes and just slams him into all the photographers, that stuff.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Did you find that kind of &#8212; you know, if that would have been Tom Brady, Manning, Drew Brees, anybody, do you think there would have been a penalty?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I think they\u2019d have thrown a flag, right. There are two quarterbacks out there right now that pretty much can be mauled. One\u2019s Vick and the other is Roethlisberger. Roethlisberger\u2019s been beat upside the head three or four times in each of the past two games, one of them with a broken nose. They don\u2019t call it. Roethlisberger\u2019s been piled on. Roethlisberger\u2019s had his knee or his ankle twisted, after the play\u2019s over. They don\u2019t call it, and one of the reasons is \u2019cause the Steelers players are all over the league. The Steelers players are running around saying, &#8216;We\u2019re targeted.\u2019 The Steelers players are saying what you say, &#8216;If that were Brady or Manning, why, they\u2019d be throwing flags all over the place.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125110.Par.89380.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"350\" height=\"193\" class=\"alignright\"\/>CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I think the Eagles players are saying the same thing about Vick.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well, I enjoy watching them, and this is Cowboy country, we\u2019re right in the middle of it here, and even though they\u2019re not doing well and I\u2019m a Philadelphia Eagle fan myself, I\u2019ve always pulled for \u2019em, and I\u2019m a Pittsburgh Steeler also, I do like them.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, you like Pennsylvania teams it sounds like.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well, and I like the Phillies, the baseball team.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Right.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Anyhow, I just wanted to get your take on that, see what you thought about it.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Look, the Eagles are saying the same thing, the coach, Andy Reid, Vick is saying it.
