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.
Ultimately, the sources said, Checketts must reconfigure his group and find another investor to make his bid more viable.
Meateater- Limbaugh was never even on the ballot. Interestingly enough, neither were Jackson and Sharpton... And yet you have to make it about them.
Like you said, you need to back your statements up with facts... where are they? Just another one-side jab at a stance you don't agree with.
And you still haven't explained to me what Brandt typed that offended you, or explained where he called Limbaugh racist and how if he did it's any different than what Rush says on a daily basis?
LOL Don't mess with Donovan McNabb...T.O. was suspended for four games without pay for co-signing Deion Sander's statement that the Eagles would have been undefeated with Favre as their QB and now Limbaugh eats his McNabb "was overrated because the media wanted to see a black quarterback succeed" comments. Only Aikman has been able to criticize Donovan and remain unscathed.

Pathetic. The NFL kowtows to Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.
