Rush knows ALOT about football, way more than the average fan, including me. He has always been a huge Pittsburgh Steeler fan and knows his stats for the most part.
That said, I think that he was wrong in his comments, to me, race has nothing to do with anything. I happen to think that McNabbs a fine quarterback, now Kordell Stewart, that's another matter
If you are old enough to remember Howard Cosell, he used to say some pretty off the wall things, and now long was he with ABC Sports? A LONG time.
The problem is, things have become waaayyy too P.C., and what Rush said, right or wrong, was totally non P.C.
That's why he's being crucified today. Even old Mr. Cosell would probably have to tone it way down if he were still around.
The world has become too dang touchy, IMHO. It was a dumb remark, let's move on to more important things, like guitars.
