Rush Limbaugh: Donovan Mcnabb
built 186 days ago
When Rush Limbaugh took a gratuitous shot at Eagles' quarterback Donovan McNabb, he revealed that he is as ignorant about football as he is about politics -- and those are his two best subjects. However, his penchant for being wrong is the reason he never should have been hired in the first place.

Rush Limbaugh resigned this week from his part-time ESPN job on the NFL Sunday Countdown after creating a controversy over remarks he made about Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb. Maybe Radio and TV just don't mix. Read more.

McNabb was the highest paid NFL player in history at the time [12], and defenders of Limbaugh's comments point out that McNabb had the worst start of his career in the 2003 season and was the NFL's lowest-rated starting quarterback. McNabb's defenders say that to his credit, McNabb was a runner-up for the year 2000 league Most Valuable Player, a member of three Pro Bowl teams, and led his team to two straight NFC championship games. McNabb had suffered a broken leg during the 2002 season, and had been slow to recover.

The irony is liberals freaked on this story for the same reason that Rush exposed. For some reason they want to see that A black quarterback is successful, and they have a hernia if someone notices that McNabb is, from time to time, off his game. In this instance, it wasn't even a criticism of McNabb. Just an honest look at racial over-sensitivity by sports journalists.

Limbaugh insisted that his comments were aimed at the media, and not at McNabb or African Americans. Limbaugh fans claimed that Limbaugh's fellow commentators on the program, both of whom were themselves former African-American football players, played a role behind the scenes in ending Limbaugh's career as a football commentator. However, they made no public response to the comment, on the air or off.

Limbaugh briefly held a position as a commentator on ESPN's Sunday NFL Countdown pre-game show. He resigned from the show on October 2, 2006 after criticism of his statement that Philadelphia Eagles quaterback Donovan McNabb was overrated because the media wanted to see a black NFL quarterback succeed.[12]
