As if there wasn't enough controversy floating around...
Rush Limbaugh has quit before he was probably going to be fired by ESPN for his allegedly "Racist" comments about Donovan McNabb.

Personally, I think ESPN knew what they were getting when they hired him, but... Just like Dennis Miller on MNF it was a "ratings experiment."
Still, it bothers me that the "distinguished" Reverend Al got to put his two cents in on this one... Guess he figured it was his chance to poke Rush back for all the past snide comments made about Big Al on Rush's radio show.
Ultimately, Rush forgot that once you go "prime time" you can't make any sort of comments regarding race in sports (except that there aren't enough black coaches), even when speaking about the NBA. That is unless you want to wind up pumping gas in Cleveland right next to Jimmy the Greek.
