Rush Limbaugh Places Bid On Winless Rams

Is it possible to love a team after after they go 3 and 14 in 07? Yes

Is it possible to love a team after they finish 2 and 14 in 08? Yes

Is it possible to love a team that starts off 0-5 in 2009 (worst in the league)? Yes

Is it possible to love a team after they have been bought by Rush Limbaugh? Still Yes



The St. Louis Rams have only one 5 games in three seasons as of week 6 2009. They have lost a great sum of their fan base they deservedly gained from 2 consecutive Superbowl appearances in 01 and 02. But the days of Kurt Warner and Marshall Faulk are long gone. Torry Holt and Isaac Bruce, the last of the high powered offense the Rams once had, have been released in the last two years.

Marshall Faulk's finesse was replaced by Steven Jackson's raw explosive power. Jackson is still a huge offensive threat when he is healthy, but it takes more than one man to win games. Marc Bulger has also had some great seasons but the 2004 Pro Bowl MVP has had his worst 2 seasons in 07 and 08. Both offensive threats are plagued by a horrendous Offensive line.

Rookie head coach Steve Spagnuolo has had a hard time breathing new life into the team. Despite losing most of the team's key defensive players following their 2008 superbowl victory, Spagnoulo kept them as the number 1 ranked defense the following season. He has had no such luck as the Rams head coach.

Chip Rosenbloom and Lucia Rodriguez inherited the team from their late mother Georgia Frontiere passed away in 2008. They have hinted at selling the team and it turns out that Rush Limbaugh is interested.

Limbaugh is one of the most influential talk show hosts in the U.S. and is known to enjoy football. He was forced to resign as a commentator for ESPN because he made racist comments about Donovan McNabb. His racist comments continued when he sang "Barack The Magic Negro" to the tune of "Puff The Magic Dragon." He later explained that he wants the president to fail and wants the country to be in a worse situation after his tenure as president.

So should we still be a fan of our team if the man who accused Michael J. Fox of exaggerating his parkinson's disease buys the team?

I would still be a fan, but it just got a lot harder. I would rather they stay winless for the next three seasons than to be bought by that man, but I would still watch.

Give us a few years and we'll be contenders again... with or without Rush.
