limbaugh to be commissioner of football?

[BOSSHOG]

Current commissioner Paul Tagliabue says he will step down from the post soon. Who better to take his place than rush limbaugh who knows more than anybody in the universe about sports and is an expert on people skills and dealing with diverse groups? If you have any doubts about that, just ask him. Its a perfect fit. Don't let his lifelong history of being a failure at everything but hate cloud your judgement on the man.

1. condi rice. Watch beisbol collapse in three seasons, just like Iraq

After all, she was supervising its reconstruction and told Bremer what to do.

28. I thought there was a very good portrayal of Rush in "V for Vendetta"

I think he should just stick to his drugs.

[rinsd]

2. Pssst....the Dark Lord Tagliabue runs the NFL (nt)

[JohnKleeb]

3. football not baseball

[central scrutinizer]

11. I'll bet all of the over-rated black quarterbacks are ecstatic

that this drug addict will be their new commissioner.

16. Thanks for the edit

I'm getting my commissioners mixed up.

24. Monkeyboy actually wanted to be baseball commish!

A new book by former baseball Commissioner Fay Vincent claims Bud Selig once told George W. Bush, then the owner of the Texas Rangers, that Bush would make a fine baseball commissioner, even though Vincent strongly believed Selig was maneuvering to get the job.

"Fay, what do you think about me becoming commissioner?" Bush asked Vincent several months after Vincent was forced out as commissioner in September 1992.

"I think it's a great idea," Vincent said.

"Do you think I'd make a good commissioner?" Bush asked Vincent.

"Absolutely," Vincent answered. "You're smart. You love baseball. Is it something you want?"

Replied Bush: "Well, I've been thinking about it. Selig tells me that he would love to have me be commissioner and he tells me that he can deliver it."

As Vincent writes in the book, "The Last Commissioner," "All my alarms went ringing at once."

4. Maybe they think the former drug addiction thing...

Will make him more charismatic to those athletes who've been caught doing the same? :p

I had to it was there...

[maveric]

5. Tagliabue is the Commisioner of the NFL. Bud Selig=MLB Commish.

Either way it wouldbe a terrible PR move by either.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

32. neither are sports anymore. Just advertising vehicles for big corporations

[berni_mccoy]

6. Bush is going to "retire" early to pursue his childhood dream

of being the commissioner.

[Kolesar]

7. You know, Bush tried to get that job in the 1990s

And when he failed to get it, he decided to run for president

[NYCGirl]

14. I thought that was Commissioner of Baseball. NT

[Kolesar]

22. You're right. Baseball.

I wish I was playing baseball right now

[TheCowsCameHome]

8. How about drug czar -something he knows about first hand.

He isn't fit to wipe his own ass.

[sutz12]

9. I have a rotisserie league I could sell him.....

[SammyWinstonJack]

10. He'll have to fight Georgie for it. That would probably be the only

way would Georgie resign, voluntarily that is. :evilgrin:

[Octafish]

12. If that happens, I'll never step foot inside a major league ballpark again

Please, Chief, say it ain't so.

PS: Through his NFL-MNF schtick, the cowardly moron Flush Limpnut absolutely ruined Donovan McNabb.

[Zambero]

13. And Rush is an expert dope. I mean dope expert. Or both.

He's a pill popper from a way back. Given his personal drug abuse escapades while simultaneously serving as talk radio's moral guardian, he'll have no problem weeding out all the dopers in baseball's ranks. An then summarily throw the book at them for violating their code of ethics, letting down the fans, and serving as a terrible example for the kids. Just about everything he's managed to accomplish for himself in a few short years!

[Hubert Flottz]

15. Brownie could do a heckuva job too!

I'd quit watching pro football if Rush got the job.

[KitchenWitch]

17. yikes

[Imalittleteapot]

18. If it will get him off the air I'm all for it. I won't have to

boycott football. I haven't cared about it for years.

[ThoughtCriminal]

19. Won't work

The job of the commissioner is to keep football honest so that people will continue to gamble on it.

I don't think Rush is up to the job, but would probably be a better choice than Bill Bennett.

[valerief]

20. I'm confused. Now WHY isn't he in prison?

[electropop]

21. He'd be perfect, with his knowledge of illicit drugs.

He could rev up the steroids to new levels. The players would all look like that superhero made of stone, and have brains to match.

[maveric]

23. Remember Rush's stint on ESPN.

It didnt take him long to inject politics and racism imnto the Sunday morning, pre-game show.
Longtime ESPN host Tom Jackson almost quit because of this.

No Way Rush would even be considered by the NFL.

[mitchum]

25. Well, he's certainly logged enough time in the locker room

[Johonny]

26. Anyone remember

and old Rush interview on football. Where he goes on and on how he "could" have been a great football player. He though he "could" have been a very good offensive lineman. And probably made the NFL...

HAD HE TRIED!!!

Just a guess but... he couldn't have been an NFL player.

[jmowreader]

34. Maybe he would have been a good offensive lineman

He's got the "offensive" part down pat.

All he'd have to do is learn how to be a lineman.

[mandyky]

27. They tried him on ESPN

and he made some racist coment about a black quarterback - the one whose Mom does the Campbell soup ads. (I ain't a football fan so I can't remember names) I don't think they'd choose Rush.

[Fleshdancer]

29. how many times did your laughter stop you from typing this?

seriously, this post must have taken you at least 20 minutes to write.

:rofl:

[Toots]

30. "If that quarterback was throwing watermelons he would have caught them"

One of Rush's famous quotes. Also the only reason they hired Mcnab as quarterback was because he is black. That one cost him his announcer job. He just plain don't like black people.

[madokie]

31. Now I'm confused at first I thought you were talking about lumpcyst

now I wonder if it is not directed at the crawford coward

33. Limbaugh will not be the commissioner of the NFL.
