\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, folks, there\u2019s some college football news. The Fox Sports Network on MSN. “There has been plenty of criticism of the selection of Condoleezza Rice to the upcoming College Football Playoff selection committee, but perhaps no one has taken an approach to the former secretary of state\u2019s appointment as misguided as former Auburn football coach Pat Dye.”<\/p>\n

Pat Dye was on the radio Monday morning. He lashed out, it says here, accusing Rice of not knowing the game. Hey, Pat, do you know she wants to be the commissioner of the NFL, too? Here is what Pat Dye said. Folks, this is not done. I mean, you talk about violating political correctness and every other tenet today. Pat Dye said of Condoleezza Rice, “‘All she knows about football is what somebody told her. Or what she read in a book, or what she saw on television. To understand football, you\u2019ve got to play with your hand in the dirt. I love Condoleezza Rice and she\u2019s probably a good statesman and all of that, but how in the hell does she know what it\u2019s like out there when you can\u2019t get your breath and it\u2019s 110 degrees and the coach asks you to go some more?\u2019<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“Dye also indicated that the decision to include Rice in the process could impact the fairness of the selection process. ‘That goes back to politics — which one she likes the best, which one\u2019s the smoothest talker.'”<\/p>\n

Pat Dye is 73 years old, by the way. He last coached in 1992. He said, “The game\u2019s played on the field,” and she\u2019s never played the game. What business does she have selecting teams in the playoffs? Now, it says here, I\u2019m gonna read this as it is. “It\u2019s not a given that Dye intended for his statement to come off as sexist, and perhaps he would have said the same thing about a male politician who was appointed to the committee. But it sure came across that way –” this is a news story, “– and now Dye will go down as the latest live radio cautionary tale as a result.”<\/p>\n

So, see, the bottom line is, he did it on the radio, that means radio\u2019s bad. Live radio\u2019s too dangerous. You have all these PC violations and everything. I think there\u2019s something else going on here.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I don\u2019t know. I\u2019ve just been asked what the color is for testicular cancer. I don\u2019t know what the color is for prostate cancer. No, I don\u2019t think there\u2019s a ribbon for prostate cancer. I don\u2019t think there\u2019s a ribbon for men\u2019s diseases. Other than AIDS, I think that\u2019s it. I don\u2019t think there\u2019s — no. No. No. Why would they do that? Why would women sports wear colored things for men\u2019s illnesses? Why would they do that? What do you mean, to show awareness? To who? Who\u2019s watching? Awareness to who? Who\u2019s watching women\u2019s sports? Who\u2019s watching it? <\/p>\n

This Pat Dye and Condoleezza Rice thing, there\u2019s something else going on. I\u2019m not gonna tell you what I think \u2019cause I could be dead wrong. But the guy is 73. He obviously is of a different generation. He had to work for everything. But I think there are obviously some things about Condoleezza Rice that he doesn\u2019t know. There was a piece on ESPN in 2007 about her and her fascination with the world of sports. It turns out these people that have talked to her claim that she could ace an aptitude test on football, an X\u2019s and O\u2019s aptitude test.<\/p>\n

When she was born, a football was waiting for her in her crib. Her father obviously was hoping for a boy. Father\u2019s name was John Rice. He was a high school coach and athletic director in Birmingham, Alabama, and he had the football, and she said it, she said he had a football, and he got a girl, meaning her, and she\u2019s an only child. She showed her father that she shared his passion for the game. By the time she turned three, they were watching Cleveland Browns games on TV. The Browns at the time under Paul Brown were one of the NFL\u2019s earliest integrated teams, and she was enamored with Paul Brown, got fired by the Browns, went to the Cincinnati Bengals and so forth, and there\u2019s this little detail. <\/p>\n

When her father joined the University of Denver faculty in the late sixties, a number of the Denver Broncos players then would visit his house, her father\u2019s house where football was often topic A. And the story goes, the legend is that these Broncos players who came over to Condoleezza Rice\u2019s dad\u2019s house were astonished at her knowledge and her penetrating questions on the X\u2019s and O\u2019s aspect of the game. Her family does have a strong background in football. I don\u2019t know if Pat Dye knows that or not, but clearly there\u2019s something going on here other than what it appears to be on the surface. There has to be something else. It could very well be a cultural thing. <\/line>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, it turns out that Pat Dye is not the first football guy to rip into Condoleezza Rice for being chosen to be on the college football playoff selection committee. David Pollack, who is an analyst on college football on ESPN, warned the audience he was about to say something unpopular during College GameDay on Saturday, and then according to the UK Daily Mail, launched into a sexist remark. <\/p>\n

He said, “Now I\u00c2\u2019m going to stick my foot in my mouth, probably. I want people on this committee, guys, that can watch tape … Yes, that have played football, that are around football, that can tell you different teams, on tape, not on paper.”<\/p>\n

So an ESPN analyst on Saturday ripped into the choice of Condoleezza Rice. “The host Chris Fowler then chimed in, asking directly if Pollack\u2019s proposed requirement, that members must be former players, should preclude women from serving on the committee. ‘So no woman belongs on the committee, then?\u2019 Fowler interjected. Pollack took the bait. ‘You said that… I\u2019ll say it, yeah. Yeah,\u2019 he responded as other panelists stated that they disagreed.” Samantha Ponder, Erin Andrews and Bonnie Bernstein have all reacted. Who the hell is this guy? Shut him up. <\/p>\n

What really bothers people here, folks? What is this? Now, with Pat Dye, I think I know what\u2019s going on, but it doesn\u2019t matter, so I\u2019m not gonna tell you. But what really bothers people about this, do you think, Snerdley? Condoleezza Rice, what is she? A, she is a woman. But what else is she? She is a black woman. So far, so good, right? Well, what else is she? She is a Republican woman? She worked for W. And therein lies — (interruption) No, don\u2019t tell me there\u2019s no politics at ESPN. Don\u2019t tell me there\u2019s no politics in football. <\/p>\n

What is it about Condoleezza Rice that has all of these people up in arms?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
