I don't think sgtclub disagrees with you about Rush, although he probably did think that Nicaragua was a threat to Texas in the 1980s.

On the Rush thing, Bill Simmons on ESPN.com points out that if someone things that black QBs are hyped relative to white QBs, they should only consider the respective treatment of Jake Plummer and Steve McNair. And ESPN.com also has a piece on the Rush thing by Ralph Wiley that's worth reading.
