Re: Air America Files Chapter 11, but I thought....
In my opinion this is a lie made by Rush,im sure his supporters on this board will disagree but here is my facts to back up my claim.
In late September of 2003 while Rush was a commentator for ESPN, Rush stated that McNabb was overrated as a quarterback because the media wanted to see a black quarterback succeed.
Here is a list of his qualifications prior to that statement.cut and paste from.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donovan_McNabb
#2002-2003
One of the most decorated athletes in Syracuse University history, he was a four-year starter at quarterback and a reserve on the school's nationally ranked basketball team.
On the gridiron he was named the Big East Conference's offensive player of the decade (1990s) and of the year an unprecedented three times from 1996-98, as well as the first-team all-conference vote earner in each of his four seasons.
Later, he was named to the Syracuse All-Century Football team. He also played basketball there, playing as a key reserve in the Orangemen's (now it's called Orange) Final Four team back in 1996, where they lost to the Kentucky Wildcats in the championship game.
2000
In his first full season as a NFL starter in 2000, McNabb finished second in the Associated Press MVP voting (24-11) to St. Louis RB Marshall Faulk, who set the NFL record for most TDs scored in a season.
2001
Earned his second trip to the Pro Bowl (was originally elected as an alternate) following the 2001 season after combining for 3,715 yards of total offense and establishing career highs in TD passes (25) and QB rating (84.3).
2002-2003
In week 11 of the 2002 season, McNabb was injured. On the third play of the game, His injury was reported to be a sprained ankle, but X-rays after the game revealed that it was a broken ankle. During the game, however McNabb In one of the best passing games of his career, he was 20 of 25 passing, with 255 yards and 4 touchdowns.
So lets hear why this isnt a boldface lie that Rush got fired, for.
Not the Rush that was in the process of having had his lawyer pay his housekeeper $80,000 in back pay and $100,000 to destroy computer emails.
His contempt, disdain, and scorn for such low-life people was his badge of conservative, Republican self-righteousness.
At the vary least he is a hypocrite, in addition to being a liar.
