Finally, First Official Football Post of the Year

Could it be?

Sanity prevails.

Seriously, Rush, Shut Up

Courtesy of Peter King in today’s Monday Morning Quarterback, Rush Limbaugh sticks his nose in the issue of race and sports yet again, for seemingly no reason at all. And you wonder why those of us on the left consider the conservative media elite (sorry, couldn’t resist) to be absolutely, flat-out insane. And stupid. Very, very stupid.

“And before we go to the break here, folks, I’ve got to get something off my chest. You know, the game was the game. And the game was what it was. But I - I can’t handle any more press criticism of Rex Grossman. They’re writing his name W-R-E-C-K-S. They’re just … worst quarterback ever to play in the Super Bowl. And it’s been like this since the Green Bay game — actually since the Arizona game, a little crescendo of it in the Green Bay game, the last game of the season for the Bears. And it’s just unrelenting! It’s just — they’re focusing on this guy like they don’t focus on anybody!

“And I tell you, I know what it is. The media, the sports media, has got social concerns that they are first and foremost interested in, and they’re dumping on this guy — Rex Grossman — for one reason, folks, and that’s because he is a white quarterback.’

Something tells me the Trojans won’t be holding on to those National Championship banners for much longer.
