This is actually good article - Whitlock's apology to Limbaugh: Mistakes undermined message

Read before you unrec or comment to be fair. This isn't an "apology" as much as he does an excellent job explaining why Limbaugh shouldn't own an NFL team and that he is really just a big joke.

Whitlock's apology to Limbaugh: Mistakes undermined message

By JASON WHITLOCK
FoxSports.com

Let me first apologize to Rush Limbaugh.

Last week in explaining why NFL commissioner Roger Goodell needed to put an end to Limbaugh's latest publicity stunt, I attributed racially insensitive quotes to Limbaugh that I read in two Missouri newspapers, saw on CNN and confirmed through a Google search. Prior to posting the article, I never found a denial of these quotes by Limbaugh, and had no reason to believe those statements were not true.

It was unfair to Limbaugh. And I regret that. I've commented on some of his earlier controversies. I've long been an admirer of his broadcasting skills.

For the most part, I've never taken his political commentary all that seriously. There are virtually no modern-day political figures that I take seriously. Politics and politicians are too dishonest and too controlled by financial influences for my taste. I've never participated in American politics. I've never voted.

I am not right wing or left wing, Democrat or Republican, liberal or conservative. I'm not beholden to any political agenda. An examination of my work at FOXSports.com, the Kansas City Star and/or any of the places I've worked previously would reveal a free-thinking, hardcore independent.

1. That's an odd, back-handed apology...

I cited multiple sources, saw with my own eyes, and Googled... (so he proved what he asserted to be true) yet it was unfair to Limbaugh?

Weird.

2. Whitlock is an idiot.

The only thing that surprised me about the article was the lack of any Jeff George reference.
