Rushing the Quarterback

OK, so the NFL (or ESPN or whoever cut the deal) has hired Rush Limbaugh to provide color commentary for their games (that color being primarily "white" of course, but not a very bright one).

I'm actually glad to hear it. The fact that he's available to do this - at a price the footballers are willing to pay - is one more indicator that the guy's career has peaked. His sportertainment-industry bosses aren't going to let him use it as a platform for the kind of stoopidly outrageous crap he says on his own program. He'll also be playing second fiddle, sharing the mike with (unless NFL/ESPN is more fucked up than I - a non-viewer - realise) black announcers.

And it's one more reason not to bother watching football, a "spectator sport" that routinely challenges baseball, golf, and auto racing for tedium.
