Litke: Limbaugh Piling on McNabb

If Rush Limbaugh and his enablers over at ESPN were really keen to smash NFL stereotypes, there's no better place to begin than by making sure "Playmakers" gets canceled before the next episode hits the airwaves.

That would make Limbaugh a hero to football fans across the political spectrum. Unfortunately, it also would require work, something Limbaugh has been loath to do, judging by his "Sunday Rush" segments so far for the all-sports network.

It's one thing to make the kind of mistake he did two weeks ago, incorrectly saying the Rams have never been to a Super Bowl under coach Mike Martz. It's another, though, for Limbaugh to slam Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb as overrated without bothering to back up that opinion with any facts.

Why do we give this circle-jerk airtime? Mr. Limbaugh needs a new career...like sweeping up behind the French calvary in a Bastille Day parade. his selective use of information and his incomplete command of facts works as well for sports as it does for politics.
