The deal with Rush is a bit deeper than him being just an a-hole. What he said about McNabb actually bumped ESPN's ratings (= money). Shapiro (ESPN VP) even went so far as to defend Rush's statement, at the time. The latest fiasco involving Limbaugh and the NFL is all about Rush - and not the NFL. Limbaugh and his daily contrivence of self-efficating bull squat are something that the NFL, wisely, said they want no part of. Truly, capitolism exists and proves that money can buy oxy's but can't buy ya love.
