If Rush Limbaugh does manage to own all or a piece of the St. Louis Rams, it stands to reason, of course, that his football team will only run to the right side. Ba-da-boom.

Limbaugh would find plenty of support for his far right views in the NFL’s billionaire club. Many league owners are conservative Republicans (even if they don’t mind public funding for their stadiums), including Alex Spanos of the Chargers, who has been a frequent donor to the party over the years.

Then again, wouldn’t you love to be in the room when Limbaugh and Steelers owner Dan Rooney start talking politics. Rooney was recently confirmed as President Obama’s choice as ambassador to Ireland and stumped for him all over Pennsylvania during the primaries and later in the general election.

Limbaugh might not want to get too close to Donovan McNabb’s cubicle in the Philadelphia Eagles locker room if he gets his hands on the Rams. In 2003, as a member of ESPN’s pre-game show panel, he set off a firestorm of criticism when he said of McNabb, “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 of this team he didn’t deserve.”

McNabb responded at the time, “it’s sad you’ve got to go to skin color. I thought we were through with that whole deal.” A few days later, Limbaugh quite properly resigned from ESPN.

Would NFL owners vote to allow him to join their ranks if he does make a bid to purchase the team? Left or right likely won’t matter. Only the size of his bank account will count, though Eagles owner Jeff Lurie will probably stand by his man McNabb and just say no, on pure principle.
