Yet another thing he addressed today. He's not interested in suing anyone -- even though he's being pressed to do so.
So, when did you observe him, in private, bawling, throwing a tantrum, or blubbering?
Please tell. I wasn't aware we had someone in here with a personal connection to celebrity.
Cuban was denied a chance to buy the Cubs. He's an ass, too. Besides, the NFL never stepped in. The only thing I saw was a quote by Goodell that owners have standards of conduct, and variances aren't tolerated. He never stopped this, the partners gave him the boot.
And the partners explained it well. In short, the criticism wrong, but hurt their chances.
I wonder what would happen if Jesse Jackson put in a bid on a NASCAR team.
Sounds like the others in the potential ownership group voted. they didn't want to take the chance with the vote of the other owners.
Same difference.
Everyone would laugh at him.
Personally I would be absolutely against it.
Dam yonivore you should apply for the job of Rush's private security guard, I haven't seen a tighter grip on another persons nut sac since yoko ono married john lennon.
Your man love for the vato makes the movie Deliverance look like a Walt Disney movie.
watching you guard Rush's ass in this forum makes me wish you worked for NORAD during 9/11
Don't get me wrong you can continue doing what you do best I just find it fascinating and had to comment on it I hope your ok with that!
we cool?
Let's face it; Rush is a divisive figure. He certainly doesn't refrain from making his opinions well known on the airways and in the media, so it's certainly fair game for Sharpton and others to do the same on the other side of the fence.
As well, if Limbaugh hadn't gotten fired for an issue involving race and media relations, he might have sailed through... perhaps.
It's a good thing that Rush was prevented from becoming an investor in an NFL franchise. Can you imagine the horror of being a multi-millionaire player (slave) on Rush's NFL team (plantation)?
rush or yoni? seems like yoni is taking this harder than rush
That's right. Dave Checketts threw him overboard for being a distraction.
I think they got some nudging from certain NFL owners. We know for a fact that Jim Irsay, owner of the Colts, said he wouldn't vote for Rush. Commissioner Goodell also expressed some fairly clear reservations about bombast being blustered by an NFL owner. And frankly, I suspect the calculus changed for some owners after news of the Limbaugh bid became public, as players, friends, and sponsors expressed concerns about Limbaugh's involvement in the league. Even if the Checketts group had gotten some degree of preliminary assurance that Rush's presence wouldn't be a problem, it seems likely to me that owners may have been dissuaded from that position by input from trusted others (and not necessarily Jackson or Sharpton).
If Rush doesn't sue everyone he's claiming libeled him, he's full of .
Shows how much you know. The law works differently for public figures.
It does?
So libel is legal if you're in the public eye? Since when?
What's different is the reasonable expectation of privacy. I think that's what WC is referring to.
Poor Rush.
These are the quotes that are lies. Both the Huffington post and Rick Sanchez have retracted them.
By the way, why is Keith Olbermann allowed to host Football Night in America?
Sharpton going off on Limbaugh? Isn't that like TLong going off on DrHouse for being a homer?
Public figures do have a higher standard by which they must prove defamation than the average person. However, if Rush is claiming that people are distorting his words with actual malice, he might still have cause to sue. Probably wouldn't win though.
Because he hasn't said anything about the media looking for a "Great White Hope" or something comparable on the program. He's kept politics/race out of FNIA and if Rush had done that on NFL Game Day, he might have stayed with ESPN longer.
Because he has directly relevant professional experience maybe?
Don't you see? Darrins made a great point and pretty much won the thread with his comment on Olbermann.
He used to be Fox Sports' best anchor.
commentator = owner.
don't you assholes get it?
