This whole ESPN issue is a little vague for me because I dont really know much about football.

There was a comment made on the sunday show. Rush said that he didnt think a quaterback named McNabb was as good as he was hyped to be. Is he good? That's your call, I dont know. Rush then went on to say that maybe the NFL (or other sports media), in hopes that there would be a great black quarterback, were *over* promoting McNabb in hopes he would become exactly that.

Someone please help me out with this. I dont see the insult to McNabb in this statement. Rush was critiqing the media and their supposed over rating of a black QB in the hopes of "leveling the playing field" with the white QBs.

At any rate, those that dislike Rush can be content with him no longer being at ESPN and him not collecting the <a href="http://cnyradio.com/q?m=1&i=49"<a>285 million bucks</a> his contract was for.
