  • Charles Barkley wants to be NBA GM (AP)

    Charles Barkley thinks he can do better than some of the general managers he criticizes on TV. The Hall of Fame player and TNT analyst said Monday he'd like his chance to run an NBA team, though he's in no rush because he'd want the right job.

  • Rush Limbaugh: The Race Card, Football and Me

    Posted by: The Connector

    By Rush Limbaugh

    David Checketts, an investor and owner of sports teams, approached me in late May about investing in the St. Louis Rams football franchise. As a football fan, I was intrigued. I invited him to my home where we discussed it further. Even after informing him that some people might try to make an issue of my participation, Mr. Checketts said he didn’t much care. I accepted his offer.

    It didn’t take long before my name was selectively leaked to the media as part of the Checketts investment group. Shortly thereafter, the media elicited comments from the likes of Al Sharpton. In 1998 Mr. Sharpton was found guilty of defamation and ordered to pay $65,000 for falsely accusing a New York prosecutor of rape in the 1987 Tawana Brawley case. He also played a leading role in the 1991 Crown Heights riot (he called neighborhood Jews “diamond merchants”) and 1995 Freddie’s Fashion Mart riot.

  • The Penguin Stopped From Buying NFL Team!

    Once again, Rush Limbaugh’s (aka The Penguin) been pushed away from the NFL — the talk-show host has been officially dropped by a group looking to buy the St. Louis Rams. A rep from the group claimed Rush got the boot because his participation complicated the effort. Ever since word got out that the conservative mouthpiece was interested in the team, several people lashed out against it — including the owner of the Indianapolis Colts, the head of the NFL Player’s Association and even Al Sharpton. It might be the best thing that happened to Rush — the Rams haven’t won a single game this season.
