Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better

The Rush Limbaugh madness. Before the Vikings game on Sunday, we had ESPN on. I was in the other room, and heard Sara yell "What?!?" Rush had just said something ridiculous.

Three days later, he has resigned from ESPN.

In the blogosphere, Eric McErlain owns the story. Peter King at SI has the best dissection of how stupid Limbaugh's comments were. King, unlike Limbaugh, actually knows something about McNabb, football, and the sports media.

And really, race and politics aside, why was Limbaugh there in the first place? Last month, before all this controversy, the Sports Nut at Slate trashed Limbaugh-qua-sports commentator.
