Rush this
“I don’t think he’s been that good from the get-go,” Limbaugh said. “I think what we’ve had here is a little social concern in the NFL. The media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well. There is a little hope invested in McNabb, and he got a lot of credit for the performance of this team that he didn’t deserve. The defense carried this team.”
An ESPN spokesman said Tuesday that Limbaugh doesn’t do interviews and added that he didn’t think the comments were racially biased.
What?
“He was comparing McNabb’s performance on the field to his reputation in the media,” spokesman Dave Nagle said.
So?
Nagle said that with Limbaugh on the show this season, ratings for “Sunday NFL Countdown” are up 10 percent overall, and 26 percent among the 18-to-34 male demographic. Sunday’s show drew its biggest audience in the regular season since November 1996.
Incredible.
