How would St. Louis residents feel about Rush Limbaugh owning the Rams? (purchase, place)

Not mad, just disappointed. No thanks, I'd rather watch paint dry than the Rams have 400 yards of offense, 27 first downs and get into the red zone - once? I'll stick with my 5-0 Broncos, thank you, a classy franchise owned by a Canadian (Canada is what American is becoming, with ruder people, trashier parks and worse summer weather).

Enjoy your weakling, coward-owned team as it marches to 0-16.

So much for the core American macroeconomic values/concepts of capitalism and free market. Another step towards Socialism. This character of this nation is rapidly going down the tubes. Very disappointing and this will come back to bite St. Louis, the Rams and their fans in the @ss.

I love the modern NFL - "We allow murderers, dog killers, rapists and psychotic roiders, but NO Conservatives!!"

Wrong again, but at least you are consistent.

Many of the other NFL owners are conservative, and The local baseball team has very conservative owners. But you keep telling yourself it's about being conservative.

...And Denver had exactly 3 winning seasons in its first 17 years as a franchise. The St. Louis Rams have been in 2 Super Bowls, winning one in less time than that since being in St. Louis. While the Rams were winning its more recent Super Bowl Denver went 6-10 that year. By all means celebrate the Broncos two Super Bowl titles since 1960.

MOD Note: lets keep this discussion friendly, clean, and relevant to the issues herein... thanks

Since this development with Rush evidently isn't going to materialize, we're probably going to start making our way toward the Forum Thread exits here. The Rams face the Lions on November 1 up in Detroit, so they might get picked as the favorites, or maybe the underdogs by less than three points. I was also seeing if the Rams face the equally sad-sack Oakland Raiders, and they don't. Looks like a 1-15 or 0-16 finish.....

Marshall Faulk is the newest chance of ownership now...YEA !!! Much better choice to own the Rams.

[Fishtacos]

There are 6 different groups. Faulk is not yet a part of any group but potentially would become part of a Checketts group in a symbolic way, ...as Faulk doesn't have the money to be more than that. Limbaugh again, would have been a very, very, small investor in the team among a group of several people. And, that group is initially buying 60% of the team and not the whole team. Stan Kroenke is keeping his 40%.

[Sillypups]

At least Faulk would have the experience to help the rams out. He would be a great coach.

[Fishtacos]

Being an owner in the NFL, even a 1 percent share, is a privelige, not a right. Some of the other kids, more than two thirds of which are. Conservative, don't want to play with Limbaugh. Conservatives everywhere should appreciate that right.

Rush has every right to form his own group and apply for approval of 24 of the 32 owners.

Bernie Miklasz said that Limbaugh's stake in the bid was pretty small. They're potentially bringing in Marshall Faulk as an investor.
