“This was a discussion on what\u2019s wrong with the Eagles and what\u2019s wrong with McNabb. And from that, why, you would think that I had gone back and wished for the South to have been successful and everything that goes along with that. I mean, it\u2019s literally incredible.”<\/line>“I was comparing McNabb\u2019s reputation on the field to his reputation in the media. The media has portrayed Donovan McNabb as a great quarterback, and they have credited him almost exclusively with the Eagles\u2019 success, and I\u2019ve always thought that there were more components to the Eagles\u2019 success than just the quarterback.”<\/line>“At one point we didn\u2019t have enough black quarterbacks. Well, now there are quite a number of black quarterbacks and it\u2019s my opinion that the sports media, being liberals just like liberal media is elsewhere, have a desire that black quarterbacks excel and do very well so that their claims that blacks are being denied opportunity can be validated.” <\/line>“I guess if you listen to the elitist liberal sports media, I nor anybody else who hasn\u2019t been somehow close to the game or played it or whatever, shouldn\u2019t be on a program where these items are discussed.” <\/line>“Fans are often wrong. Everybody disagrees with everybody when it comes to opinions expressed about practically everything, including sports.”<\/line>“If anybody is entering politics into this, it\u2019s the sportswriters, not me. I have studiously avoided it because I know people are laying in wait for it.”<\/line>“You know, the critics here have a little bit to explain themselves. I think they have some questions to answer. Who is entitled to speak about these things on the media or privately or publicly? Who decides that? What is the criteria for determining somebody\u2019s value or worth in this regard?”<\/line>“These are the people who claim to be the most tolerant among us. This is the compassionate left who claim to have the biggest hearts and the biggest degree of understanding, but they\u2019re the ones who are the least tolerant.”<\/line>“You think I\u2019m all wet on this. So what? I\u2019m all wet. In your mind, I\u2019m all wet. I\u2019m wrong. Whoopee-doo! You know, why not leave it at that? People who think I\u2019m wrong, think I\u2019m wrong. But it\u2019s gone way beyond that.”<\/line>“They can make all the references to the race of athletes and what it means to the community and what it means to the black population of the country and how many kids look up to them. They can do it all day long, but nobody else can.” <\/line>“My point Sunday on ESPN was that the defense of the Eagles, I think, deserves a lot of the credit for this team\u2019s success. It\u2019s a sports opinion, for crying out loud – and I think it\u2019s an accurate one.”<\/line>“For those of you, by the way, who are saying, ‘Rush, what were you thinking?\u2019 I thought about this the night before. I weighed it, I balanced it, but you know what I decided? Look, they brought me in to be who I am. This is what I think. It\u2019s a sports issue. It\u2019s a sports opinion.” <\/line>“This is not by any stretch of the imagination the end of the world. None of this stuff is. To start balancing and weighing what I say versus the political correctness requirements that are out there? Why, I don\u2019t do that here so why should I do it anywhere else? Let the chips fall.”<\/line>“You know, this is such a mountain made out of a molehill. So much needs to be said here. I guess at the top of the list would be that we supposedly have freedom of speech in this country, but if you don\u2019t say what people who consider themselves the Arbiters of What Can Be Said agree with, then they want to come after you with everything they\u2019ve got and try to humiliate you and take a stab at your reputation and otherwise get your mind right.” <\/line><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
