Rush Limbaugh in talks to buy the St. Louis Rams!

ST. LOUIS -- Green Bay Packers fans are known as cheeseheads. Could fans of the St. Louis Rams soon be dittoheads?

Conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh said Tuesday he is teaming up with St. Louis Blues owner Dave Checketts in a bid to buy the Rams, owners of the NFL's longest losing streak at 14 and just 5-31 since 2007.

In a statement, Limbaugh declined to discuss details, citing a confidentiality agreement with Goldman Sachs ( GS - news - people ), the investment firm hired by the family of former Rams owner Georgia Frontiere to review assets of her estate, including the NFL team.

Limbaugh also declined to discuss other partners that might be involved in the bid, but said he and Checketts would operate the team.

"Dave Checketts and I have made a bid to buy the Rams and we are continuing the process," Limbaugh said.

:rofl:

Do we have any Rams fans here??

1. As a 49er fan,
I can say it'll be a lot more satisfying to kick their ass.

7. So he can hang out in the locker room?
He can't be one so he buys one.

10. I apologize
I, for a moment, forgot that limbaugh likes guys before they grow up.

Can't ya just see him in the locker room surrounded by towel clad behemoths handing out hundreds of game balls after each game.
