Rush Resigns (Alternate Headline: ESPN Said Quit or You’re Fired). All I have to say about this is good riddance and peace out. I don’t like Rush. I think he’s full of hot air and enjoys enciting controversy. He knew exactly how his comments would be construed before he said them. That being said the comments he made if taken at face value are pretty harmless. That not withstanding, Ray Charles himself could have seen the can of worms Mr. Limbaugh was opening by bringing the topic of race into his comments. There are numerous ways he could have gotten his general topic across, which was Donovan Mcnabb is overrated, without bringing race into the thing. Namely he could have said “I think Donovan Mcnabb is overrated.” Period. End of sentence. Even though I don’t like the man I recognize that he’s smart enough to have figured out a less controversial way to say it. So either I’m giving him too much credit or he purposefully said what he said with full knowledge of the controversy it would spark. I think it’s the latter and the former. ESPN is at fault here is well. They knew exactly what they were getting when they signed him up. I wish I knew what they thought they were going to accomplish when they signed him. What qualifications does he have to be a football commentator? He’s a regular Joe Blow football fan who happens to be famous. I’m a regular Joe Blow football fan. I’ve got a major in Broadcasting so I’ve got broadcasting experience. Why not hire me? Anyhow, this is a bazarre end to a bazarre situation. I say good riddance. Go back to you little radio show hole and don’t come back. You’ve proven that your place in this world is and should remain the land of niche radio. You’re not ready for the big time. Shame on ESPN for unleashing on an unsuspecting public. To conclude this rant let me state that fully support Rush Limbaugh’s right to free speech. I just don’t have to agree with his opinion and I don’t have to agree with his agenda/quest to stur up controversy where ever he goes.
