Fat Fuck Limbaugh in line to buy and move Vikings?

[givemebackmycountry]

Limbaugh doesn’t deny rumor that he’ll buy, move Vikings.

Apparently, there’s a rumor that radio host Rush Limbaugh plans to buy the Minnesota Vikings and move them to Los Angeles.
We hadn’t previously heard that one.
But former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty had, and he mentioned it to Limbaugh during an interview on Limbaugh’s weekday show.

In 2009, Limbaugh emerged as a minority partner in Dave Checketts’ bid to buy the St. Louis Rams.
Checketts removed Limbaugh from the group not long after Commissioner Roger Goodell pointed out Limbaugh’s “polarizing comments” about Donovan McNabb from 2003.

Thus, it would be a significant challenge for Limbaugh to ever get the 24 owner votes necessary to purchase a team.
But by failing to throw water on the rumor that he’s a candidate to buy the Vikings and move them to L.A., Limbaugh has given the story legs, as evidenced by the fact that Zulgad and then Seifert and others (Internet hack included) have posted a story regarding what most likely is a non-story.

1. If he does, I'll hate them even more than when they had Favor...nt

[Goblinmonger]

2. I used to say that nothing would make me stop being a Vikes fan.

This might do it. I have been a fan since I can remember (I grew up in ND, so it was the "home" team).

My hope is that if he moves them, the NFL keeps the Vikings name in MN for a possible expansion team.

[Goblinmonger]

3. Irony Alert: What if they pick up McNabb?

Will the fat bastard still buy them with an over-rated Negro at the helm?

[madinmaryland]

15. I was wondering the same thing.

[Auggie]

4. Are the Vikings troubled? I don't think so...

A non-story

[Iggo]

6. Any team that is looking for a new stadium is rumored to be moving to L.A.

Happens every off-season.

[Auggie]

7. Right. I forgot about the Metrodon't -- er, Metrodome roof collapse

[JonLP24]

8. Maybe that provides a convenient excuse

but the Vikings have been looking into getting a new stadium a few years now. They're facing roadblocks because voters already approved a baseball stadium and college football stadium.

[Auggie]

9. Hope it works out for Vikings fans

[Iggo]

5. Can we mobilize and stop him at the L.A County Line?

[MrSlayer]

10. He had to pull out of buying the Rams because of outrage.

He will not be allowed to buy a team.

[Jack Rabbit]

11. Is there any reason to think he'll get any further this time than last?

12. The Commish of the NFL made it fairly clear that Limbaugh would not get an ownership

That was during the Cardinals ownership change

[JonLP24]

13. Rams

Cardinals have been owned by the same family since 1932, unfortunately.

[rpannier]

14. Sorry

Thank you for the correction

[ProfessorGAC]

17. I Think You're Right

Well, not about the Cardinals, but about that fat puke never getting league approval to buy a team.

[rpannier]

18. I think I'm still living in the past

Cardinals = St Louis
Rams = Los Angeles

[Bluzmann57]

16. As a Packer fan

I dislike the Vikes intensely and limbaugh buying them would only intensify my hatred of that team. But no matter what, they need to stay in Minnesota.

[rpannier]

19. He's got 9 solid no votes from the last time

Colts, Bears, Eagles, Patriots (ownership was very vocal that he was bad for the NFL), NY Jets, NY Giants, Cleveland, Tampa Bay, Tennessee.
Leaving Minnesota would probably move Green Bay and Detroit into the "no" column
Moving to LA would probably push Davis and the Chargers owner (Spanos?) and the 49'ers to say No
