His comments about Donavan McNabb and once again using the race card were well out of line. IggleDOer in GD started a great thread about the comment with some excellent articles from the local Philadelphia program. But I know some of you don't venture into GD so I wanted to get this going in the Lounge:

Limbaugh's idea of commentary Sunday involved an absurd attack on Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb and on "the media" that have overrated him because
"the media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well. There's interest in black quarterbacks and coaches doing well. McNabb," Limbaugh said, isn't "as good as everyone says he has been."
Personally, I don't give a flying hoot what you think about Donovan McNabb or the Philadelphia Eagles. Heck, I'll be the first to agree that Donovan is having a horrible start which attributed to the first 2 embarassing loss by the Eagles. But the poor playing by McNabb has nothing to do with skin color. He's just playing crappy football and that's universal occurance no matter what your skin color, race, religion etc etc just happens to be.
If you're fed up please use this handy link below to let ESPN know that you will not put up with them giving air time to a racist asshole like Rush Limbaugh. I will no longer watch ESPn and I don't care how good SportsCenter is.
Send them a letter and let your voices be heard:
