NFL married to the Fox "News"...
This may explain why Rush thought he was "cleared" with the higher ups in the NFL...
Rush Limbaugh blasted his removal from a group trying to buy the St. Louis Rams on his radio show today.

Limbaugh claimed group leader Dave Checketts recruited him into the bid and had asked the NFL if Limbaugh would be accepted before. Limbaugh said Checketts "cleared his involvement" with NFL officials.

On his show, Limbaugh recalled this conversation with Checketts earlier this year (via the New York Times)

"I said to him at this meeting, 'Are you aware of the firestorm?' He said: 'Believe me, I wouldn't have approached you if I hadn't taken care of that, if I had not cleared your involvement with people at the highest levels of the National Football League.' He gave me a couple of names, pretty high up. Led me to believe it was all handled. And he was fully prepared for what was going to happen."


Roger Goodell (NFL Commissioner) is married to the Jane Skinner of the (Fox "News")

1. Cheese and whine...
Limbaugh-ger cheese is particularly pungent.

4. I like the way LICKBALLS tries to cover up the story....
' Are you aware of the firestorm' I don't believe thats how it went down at all.
You were fucked out of it because you are fucked, and Checketts knew you would get pwned,
You thought you were IN because of Rogers wife, and HUGE fox outlet would be behind you. HA

5. So what happened along
the way?:)

This Checketts promise more than he could deliver? He kinda made limpbaugh look real bad again..we all know he is but this is a major rejection, I don't care what anyone says.

If putting limpbaugh in his place after his outta control racist behavior is an example of Obama's America then give me some more, please.

We all saw what bushcheneylimpdick's America was like for 8 years.
