Rush Limbaugh Bidding for Rams Ownership (Sorry, St. Louis)

For someone who grew up with the L.A. Rams in the Eric Dickerson era, I'm forever wary of their ownership.

Former owner Georgia Frontiere was a pariah in Anaheim - and rightly so - after taking away the only NFL team that ever mattered in Southern California (in my humble opinion), only to win a title for their new city 5 years later.

But now, in the wake of Frontiere's death, her family seems content to sell off her majority stake in the team. And guess who's shopping? Rush Limbaugh. That's right. Just when Rams fans thought their ownership couldn't get any worse, it just might.

I'd elaborate on that, but really, Steve Rosenbloom, sports writer for the Chicago Tribune, said it best:

"Rush Limbaugh wants to be part of a group that buys the Rams, and I'm thinking, perfect, an NFL owner who can compete with his players for abuse of prescription drugs. The Rams used to be owned by serial-newlywed Georgia Frontiere, a former nightclub singer and dancer, so there's your legacy: from showgirl to blowhard."

While I was sad to see the Rams leave California, I've never harbored any ill will towards the folks in St. Louis. The point is this: The Ram faithful deserve a break after 30+ years of having a certifiably crazy figurehead running their affairs.
