Then what did his comments mean?
ESPN hires a Racist:
"I think what we've had here is a little social concern in the NFL. The media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well,' Limbaugh said. 'There is a little hope invested in McNabb, and he got a lot of credit for the performance of this team that he didn't deserve"
"He was comparing McNabb's performance on the field to his reputation in the media," spokesman Dave Nagle said Tuesday. He said Limbaugh doesn't do interviews.
On ESPN's "Sunday NFL Countdown," Limbaugh, the outspoken conservative radio talk show host, said he didn't think McNabb was as good as perceived from the start. The quarterback's career has included two straight NFC championship games and MVP runner-up.
McNabb called the whole thing "sad," but an ESPN spokesman said he didn't think the comments were racially biased.
The big issue here is that ESPN knew this idiot's history and has been just waiting for him to say something exactly like this. They benefit from the blow up and if it gets too hot in the kitchen, they will fire him and look like the good guys. If not then they have a great hook.
