I saw the show as it happened. The commentators were talking about things like mechanics and lack of talent around McNabb - then Limbaugh jumped in with this hooey. This is what Limbaugh is payed to do - spout outrageous crap and get people worked up. That's what he did on the radio for all those years.
I know they say Limbaugh is a "fan," and that's what qualifies him, but if you've actually have seen the show he offers no insight that you or I couldn't bring. As for the black quarterback thing being "hyped" by the media, that's just plain stupid. He has led his team to back to back NFC championship games - you get some pub when you do that.
Unfortunately, this incident will make ESPN's pre-game the "next big thing." Already, ratings are up ten percent. Today, Limbaugh's mug is platered all over the USAToday and other publications. People will tune in to see what outrageous things he will say next. *sighs*
Remember when they used to cover the games during pre-game, without the half-naked piece of ass, professional comedian, or professional blowhard?
