Im not sure how I feel about this. I mean I don't agree with what he said but he shouldn't have gotten lynched by the PC police. It seems like whenever you talk about race in sports you HAVE to have extremely far left opinions or be seen as a racist. McNabb is a good qb and thats it. But he does have a thing about black coaches though. It is much more difficult for an NFL team to fire a black coach who is not doing well vs firing a white coach. And Ive noticed that sports analyst quicker to say a bad thing about a white struggling coach but very reluctant to criticize decisions from white head coaches.

Look at Spurrier. When he was struggling almost every big name in the sports world was happily taking shots at him. Now if Spurrier was black he would have never had so many insults about his intelligence of the game coming his way.

If I never hear his voice again, it'll be way too soon.

He didn't deserve to be there anyway. I'm glad he's gone. ESPN did the right thing by firing him. And don't tell me he resigned, we all should know he was forced out the position. ESPN in NO way going to get it self stuck in the middle of a PC racial issue. In my opinion Rush is an idiot....... SO ADIOS SUCKA!!
