SI.com - NFL - Limbaugh resigns from ESPN show - Thursday October 2, 2003 9:05AM

Yeah, I know it’s not exactly the same thing that Jimmy the Greek said but I thought I’d make a deal of it anyway. It is strange that he offers this excuse:

“My comments this past Sunday were directed at the media and were not racially motivated”

What is strange is that he could have said the same thing and focused on McNabb the person rather than McNabb the black dude. “I think McNabb is overrated and the only reason he has success thusfar is because the media has wanted to see this man do well.” That would have worked fine.

Anyway, how many fucking hours of pre-game shows do we need anyway? You want ratings? The networks should show 2 hours of the 3 Stooges before every game. What better way to prepare you for the gridiron than a little social violence? Seriously, guys would get to the couch a lot quicker if they knew they could watch Moe, Larry and Curly slugging each other with 2×4’s, sledgehammers and wedding cake.
