Rush Limbaugh's Anniversary Present

This Friday Rush Limbaugh will celebrate the 20th anniversary of his nationally syndicated show. I'll post more on the anniversary on Friday, but for his anniversary, he might like to pick up a little present - like an NFL team:

Rush Limbaugh, the conservative talk radio host, said he would be interested in buying the St. Louis Rams if the team were for sale. "The Rams would be a great team to have," Limbaugh said in a phone interview from his Palm Beach, Fla., studio. "I have a lot of friends in ownership in the NFL, and my desire to get involved has not been a secret." Limbaugh grew up in Cape Girardeau but said that does not play into his thinking about the Rams. "This is a business decision," he said. And even for Limbaugh, whose new eight-year syndication deal with Premiere Radio Networks is estimated to be worth $300 million, buying into the NFL would be a stretch. "I have no debt whatsoever. This would require changing that," he said. "There is a whole lot of interest in the Rams with the NFL being a business entity that a lot of people want to be involved in. But it's becoming a billionaires' club."

Regular listeners know that Rush is a huge NFL fan, and for a brief time worked on the ESPN broadcast team. It wouldn't surprise me if he joins with a couple others and makes the purchase.
