It's not surprising that I didn't hear about this story until yesterday, since this is Buffalo where sports coverage consists of "BILLS BILLS BILLS BILLS BILLS BILLS Sabres Sabres BILLS BILLS oh and there are 31 other teams in the NFL".
Apparently, Rush Limbaugh thinks that Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb has never been particularly good, and the only reason he's been in the starting lineup at all is because of the NFL's desperation to have a successful black quarterback. You know, like Warren Moon and that guy who threw five touchdowns in the second quarter of Super Bowl XXII for the Redskins.
Or, maybe he doesn't think that and is simply seeing just what he can get away with, which is what I suspect Limbaugh of doing a lot of the time. Of course, that doesn't imply anything better, because that's basically a choice between "racist twit" and "craven cynic". Maybe I'll flip a coin.
James Capozzola has a rundown of Philly op-ed writers on this.
(By the way, Limbaugh used to be a fairly vocal Steelers fan. I don't suppose anyone has ever heard him spouting a similar opinion of Kordell Stewart, who attained a much lower level of success than McNabb has?)
