I guess there really is a God....
NFL to Rush - don't let the door hit you on the pilodynal cyst on your way out.
In the wake of his controversial statements regarding Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb, Rush Limbaugh has resigned from his position on ESPN's NFL pregame show. ESPN has accepted the resignation.Limbaugh issued a statement late Wednesday night in which he wrote:
"My comments this past Sunday were directed at the media and were not racially motivated. I offered an opinion. This opinion has caused discomfort to the crew, which I regret.
"I love NFL Sunday Countdown and do not want to be a distraction to the great work done by all who work on it.
"Therefore, I have decided to resign. I appreciate the opportunity to be a part of the show and wish all the best to those who make it happen."
George Bodenheimer, President, ESPN and ABC Sports, issued the following response:
"We accept his resignation and regret the circumstances surrounding this. We believe that he took the appropriate action to resolve this matter expeditiously."
Bad week to be a conservative bastard, I guess.

I don't even like football (or any other sport for that matter), yet Rush's abrupt departure is a beautiful thing to behold.
Now if we could only see something like this from the Chief Executive of our Blessed Republic:
"Therefore, I have decided to resign. I appreciate the opportunity to be a part of the show..." And what a show it was!

what did he actually say? i hate sports, have never watched espn in my life (well, maybe once or twice when they had cheerleader competitions, but that was only because it caught my eye flipping through the channels) i dont even know who mcnab is. still nice to see rush get what he deserves, hopefully he will overdose soon on oxycontin
