NFL Commishioner Disses Limbaugh Ownership

How can anyone not like this lovable pudgy pill-popper?:

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell failed to offer support of Rush Limbaugh's bid to buy the Rams on Tuesday and said the talk-show host's "divisive comments" would not be welcome in the league.

"I've said many times before, we're all held to a high standard here," Goodell told reporters, via the New York Times.

"I would not want to see those comments coming from people who are in a responsible position in the NFL –- absolutely not."

Limbaugh said last week he's part of a group trying to buy the Rams. Colts owner Jim Irsay was the latest to express disapproval for Limbaugh's bid when he said he would not vote to approve such a deal. (NFL owners must vote to approve new owners of teams.)

Held to a high standard like murderers and serial dog abusers? I'm just as disgusted by the horrible things that Limbaugh says as anyone else and I have no problem seeing his ownership plans getting blocked by the NFL's owners but don't pretend that you're doing it out of adherence to some high and mighty ethical code. NFL football is as much a business as it is a sport. If they thought that adding Limbaugh to the league would make them more money make no mistake, they would.
