. . .Keith Olbermann?

“There’re now gonna be character tests for sports owners?” Olbermann said. “There’ll only be three of them left. Unless they beat the Vikings Sunday as of next Thursday it will have been a full year since the Rams won a game. My God, if Limbaugh wants to buy them far be it for me to tell him he’s flushing his money down a rat hole.”

Via Hot Air.

George Vecsey writes in the New York Times, however, that he hopes Limbaugh’s bid to buy a piece of the team is voted down by the other NFL owners. An excerpt:

The current club owners seem to have the power to turn down somebody just because they don’t like the cut of his jib, whatever a jib is.
This is reassuring given the recent announcement by Rush Limbaugh, a chap who talks on the radio, that he is interested in buying into the St. Louis Rams. Limbaugh is seeking a partnership with Dave Checketts, who has hitherto amassed a good reputation in New York, Salt Lake City and St. Louis.
When observed recently, Limbaugh was braying with glee because the American city of Chicago had been turned down in its bid to host the 2016 Olympic Games. His vicious delight had nothing to do with the dubious economics of holding the Olympics or the mixed support from the citizens of Chicago. He depicted the decision as a defeat for President Obama, who had traveled to Copenhagen to stick up for his adopted home city.
This just in: occasionally, the St. Louis Rams play the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field. Presumably, Bears’ fans would remember Limbaugh’s double chins quivering with joy at the rejection of the Olympic bid. This is just the kind of divisive baggage the N.F.L. would love to see in a potential owner.
But Limbaugh comes with other weighty history. This is the bloke who, after an ugly brawl in the N.B.A. in 2004, recommended that the league be renamed the Thug Basketball Association. He also likened the two teams to the Crips and the Bloods, two national gangs. Nice. This posture may play well out where car radios are tuned to Limbaugh, but it should not play with N.F.L. owners and the cities they represent.
