Did Limbaugh make a racist remark about Donovan McNabb?

[diplomats]

Did anyone see ESPN's football show yesterday? I missed it, but a bunch of Philly sportswriters are saying Rush made a remark about the Eagles quarterback being black. I also missed most of what they said, so I'm in the dark. I'm an Eagles fan, BTW.

1. He is Black and He Knows it...

[jenk]

2. yes he did

something about McNabb being an average QB and only getting this much attention because he's black.

3. Is it ditto heads or dildo heads that put up with this guy?

[phillybri]

4. I founbd this at philly.com, but it doesn't say anything racist....

...but it's not a direct quote:

He's too muscular, throws off the wrong foot, sips too much soup broth, and never was any good, according to that noted NFL analyst, Rush Limbaugh.

His career record is now 33-19.

Rush will catch a torrent of hell if he said something like that...

9. Tomorrow's Daily News

is going to have more on it.

19. Good--I hope this story does grow some legs.

More specifically, I hope the coach has something to say about being accused of being too scared to bench McNabb because of his race. Rush may have outsmarted himself by splattering the coach with mud he was throwing at McNabb.

5. It was during the pre-game show

Rush insinuated that the Eagles are floundering because McNabb isn't really as good as he appears, and that his coach is hesistant to bench him out of fear of looking racist. But the black commentator (I think his name is Jackson) took care of business. With an angry glint in his eye, he pointed out that McNabb's past successes and team leadership hadn't exactly been figments of the coach's imagination!

6. Thanks, rock

he's a friggin' asshole, pardon my French. Why ESPN hired him is beyond me. I'm glad Tom Jackson put him straight.

[THUNDER HANDS]

7. one of these days

Tom Jackson is gonna strangle Rush on live TV.

I definately will have my popcorn in hand, ready for that glorious moment.

[Gato Moteado]

17. i think maybe an email campaign to tom jackson is in order....

....maybe we should remind mr jackson about rush's history of racism and let him know we are unhappy with espn's move to try to legitimize the pigboy. maybe if enough of us get behind jackson, he'll expose pigboy in a big way on live television.

hmmmm....just a thought. anyone have jackson's email address?

[gratuitous]

8. Tom Jackson? I'd like to see him and Rush go mano-a-mano

Thanks a lot, ESPN, for providing that racist homophobe voice that football commentary has been so sorely lacking. I mean, it must be just flat discombobulating for the average Rash Lardbutt devotee to tune in a football show on the weekend and not hear about how them jungle bunnies and jigaboos are just ruining the white man's game.

I guess Rush thinks Philly should sign Ryan Leaf.

10. Hmmmm.... Possible future hall-of-famer past linebacker vs....media figure

Not too hard to prognosticate that outcome.

[soupkitchen]

11. media figure?

How about puff ball load of elephant shit?

[hueyfreeman]

12. Cut the Racists Crap.....Are those words you use

[Bunny]

14. nice try huey

go back and read it again. it's called sarcasm. look it up.

[diplomats]

15. Of course not!

He was making fun of neanderthal dittoheads.

18. Ryan Leaf, affirmative action victim?

Exactly. Back in the good old days, minorities were content with the purely physical jobs--running with or for the ball, throwing strikes from the outfield to the plate, swinging for the fences, and knocking the snot out anyone who got in their way. But then they started pitching and catching and quarterbacking and--choke--MANAGING AND COACHING! They started getting the mental jobs, the leadership jobs, the respect-commanding jobs. And even that wasn't enough for them--they've infected tennis and golf was well!

13. Grrrrrrr

and I missed it?? That fucking tub o lard really cant help himself. Like Savage itll only be a matter of time till he exposed how much of a bigot he is.

[tabasco]

16. Rush knows more about anal problems than sports

He should be a guest commentator on a medical show to discuss anal problems. Why ESPN puts his lardass on the air I have no clue. But I have stopped watching ESPN and will not go to their website since they did.

20. if you watched it

post the sponsors, I forgot to tape it
