Sources: Checketts to drop Limbaugh

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4559454

Rush Limbaugh is expected to be dropped from a group bidding to buy the St. Louis Rams, according to three NFL sources.

Dave Checketts, chairman of the NHL's St. Louis Blues and the point man in the Limbaugh group attempting to buy the Rams, realizes he must remove the controversial conservative radio host from his potential role as a minority member in the group in order to get approval from other NFL owners, the sources said.

Three-quarters of the league's 32 owners would have to approve any sale to Limbaugh and his group. Earlier this week, Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay predicted that Limbaugh's potential bid would be met by significant opposition. Several players have also voiced their displeasure with Limbaugh's potential ownership position, and NFL Players Association head DeMaurice Smith, who is black, urged players to speak out against Limbaugh's bid.

1. Checkett's bid is now tainted regardless if Limbaugh is aboard

Checkett's must be a real piece of work to want to crawl into bed with such a lowlife piece of dung like Limbaugh. I hope his bid is rejected as an added exclamation point to even considering Limbaugh on his bidding team.

2. To HELL with Limpball-licking Checketts

He must be a member of the chorus too, or else he would not even associate himself with that vile bag of puss in the first place.
