I have seen some speculation that Rush Limbaugh could sue for libel and defamation but that’s really not Rush’s style.  Sure he could and he would have an uphill battle but it could be done.  There are however a couple of other options that would be more interesting…

Rush could get angry and put together his own investment group to counter Mr. Checketts bid.  Rush has the contacts with enough people who would be able to put together a bid for any NFL team out of petty cash.  He could put together a bid to blow any other completely out of the water and then really force the hand of the NFL.  Would the NFL really turn down a high bid for a team because it included someone who the NFL deems politically incorrect?  Rush could be the majority owner and outright run the team and be the face of the St. Louis Rams.  Yes Jerry Jones’ ego would have to take a back seat but that’s probably a good thing.

The NFL has long overlooked and forgiven law breakers, animal abusers, wife beaters, drug problems, etc.  The NFL doesn’t have a problem with that but they won’t allow a minority owner who makes his living in a completely legal way, who dares to speak the truth about the racism that exists in sports media.

Rush could also take the high road and use this experience to drive him to push even harder on the 2010 elections to remove some of the mindless idiots from Congress that are part of the problem, and the 2012 elections to remove Obama from office.

The fact remains that Rush is still the most powerful man in media and can affect elections, maybe it would have been better for Obama if Rush was busy as an NFL owner and less focused on defeating Obama and his mind numb robots running congress…
