You know your rich when you can buy sports teams just for the hell of it.

He's thinking of partnering up with someone else.  The rams are selling for $950,000,000.

I guess I am surprised that he is that kind of rich.

NO!!!!! He should buy the Oakland Raiders and kick the jammy wearing Al Davis out.

does he get to influence advertisement?   Major move if so.  .gov folks in STL will be rolling... serves them right. (no pun intended but it is pretty sweet)

I strongly doubt he has that kind of money. I imagine there will be other partners involved in this project.

There are, and it's not even clear if they are going for a 60% stake of the team or the whole thing. Rush alone would not be able to come close to buying the team.

I enjoy listening to Rush Limbaugh. But I see him as a businessman and capitalist. And he is most successful when he has lots of democrats to talk about. He is happy when they are in charge because its good for his business.

His last radio contract net him 200 Million dollars. His most recent one is netting him 400 million dollars. He's freaking loaded.

He will lose his ass.

Players will get tired of him pretty quick, he is dumb enough to talk to them about his high school glory days playing football

No doubt he is loaded. But not loaded enough to come up with $950 million on his own.

I really doubt that. I would see him much happier when a conservative is in power. That way the money faucet would be in full flow.

Pretty much lost both the Rams and Raiders in 95.



14 years without an NFL franchise.




Not missing them.




Chargers aren't that far away.
