ScrappleFace, which is much funnier than sites currently getting more votes in a certain poll, has this gem:
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb today attributed his team’s playoff berth to sports media people who were “very desirous that a black quarterback do well,” as radio host Rush Limbaugh remarked earlier this season.“If it hadn’t been for all the hype about me in the sports press, we’d never be 10-3 now,” said Mr. McNabb. “Rush Limbaugh was right that there are people in the sports media who are eager for a black quarterback to succeed. But I don’t think Rush realized that in the NFL, it’s the sportswriters and TV personalities who win games for you.”
Indeed.
