As a Rams fan, I imagine he might be if this were to come to pass.

In 2003, Rush Limbaugh had a brief dalliance with the sport he loves, spending a month as the "voice of the fan" on ESPN's pregame show before resigning after a delayed reaction to comments made regarding Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb triggered a firestorm.

Since then, the mega-rich Rush's name has bubbled up from time to time as a potential owner of all or part of an NFL team.

And it could be coming to fruition.

Charley Casserly of CBS reports that, of the three groups that submitted bids to buy the St. Louis Rams, one group includes Dave Checketts and Limbaugh.

Given that the Rams are this year’s Detroit Lions, it seems to me that this may be the only thing that my friend and fellow Watcher’s Council member will have to cheer this season.

If, of course, it happens.
