Limbaugh facing even more opposition in Ram's bid

Limbaugh already down one vote

BOSTON -- Rush Limbaugh's bid to buy the St. Louis Rams ran into opposition within the NFL on Tuesday. Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay vowed to vote against him and commissioner Roger Goodell said the conservative commentator's "divisive" comments would not be tolerated from any NFL insider.

"I, myself, couldn't even consider voting for him," Irsay said at the owners meetings. "When there are comments that have been made that are inappropriate, incendiary and insensitive ... our words do damage, and it's something that we don't need."

Limbaugh has long been a hero of conservatives and villain to the left, thriving on his place in the political spectrum while establishing himself as one of the most successful broadcasters in history. But the NFL tries to avoid controversy, as Limbaugh learned in 2003 when he was forced to resign from ESPN after saying of Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb: "I think what we've had here is a little social concern in the NFL. The media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well."

"They're not certain they are even sellers," New York Giants co-owner Steve Tisch said, adding that he expected a decision by the end of the season. "We can't speculate on potential owners because they have not brought up any names to put before ownership. It's out there, but without confirmation from the Rams or the Rosenbloom family, frankly, we don't know who the potential buyers are."

8. Yep -- it's called a FISTULA

Specifically, the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anal_fistula">anal fistula.

"Ask for it by name!"

Much worse than a pilonidal cyst. You can't even break wind without feeling like someone is "tearing you a new one".

Howard Stern once, famously, had a fistula. Spoke on-air at great length about it.

Yet he did not use it to avoid his responsibilities.

--d!

Don't give up, Rush. Maybe you could start a franchise in the Dominican Republic.
