2. I admit, I watched Countdown in week 1
Just to see what Limbaugh was actually doing. Quite frankly the whole idea is stupid. He gets his own 2-minute commentary, then occasionally gets to "throw in the red flag" to butt in on a discussion the main analysts are having. It is pointless. He adds nothing to the show but his name, which will of course occasionally attract a few people to the show, but also permanently drive others away. Trying to be neutral here, if I were a TV critic, I would say the whole idea is lame and sutpid and a waste of Limbaugh's "talent", even though I use the word loosely. They could put anybody in his place and it would still be a stupid idea. It is obvious this was the result of Limbaugh's agent calling up and begging somebody to put him on a football show. He's still bitter about losing out on the Monday Night gig.
