Owner Adds Big Name in Rams Hunt
It might be a reason to either really cheer for owner Dave Checketts to succeed in his effort to buy the NFL's St. Louis Rams, or one to root hard against it:
Conservative radio talk-show host Rush Limbaugh is among his investors.
Limbaugh said today that he's among the group that is bidding to buy the football team, and that -- although he wouldn't name any of the other investors in the group -- he and Checketts would run it, if they succeed. The team has been valued at $929 million by Forbes magazine (and falling fast, if their performance on the field is any indication), and would add to the teams in the Checketts portfolio, along with the NHL's St. Louis Blues hockey team.
No word on a timeline for the sale; the family of former Rams owner Georgia Frontiere has hired the Goldman Sachs investment firm to review assets of her estate. Checketts has been pursuing the team since earlier this year.

You'd have to wonder how Rush would react if the team wanted to draft or trade for a black QB to start for them, wouldn't you?
I'm sure he'd be fine with blacks at other positions – as long as they "know their place" – but as the "leader" of the team?
That's "Whites Only" territory, innit?
