You know, there\u2019s huge fallout over the shower report.  By the way, speaking of that, you know Josina Anderson reported that Michael Sam was the last to use the showers after practice every day \u2019cause he didn\u2019t want to make his teammates uncomfortable.  And what\u2019s that about?  Well, the implied thing, you know, gay guys in the shower, ah, you know, recruitment, ah, he doesn\u2019t want to even deal with it so he\u2019s going in there last. <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=8502\"><img id=\"eZObject_95435\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ESPN.jpg\"\/><\/a>Nobody actually said that, but that\u2019s what the undercurrent of the report was, so everybody blew a gasket.  How dare they!  ESPN apologized.  They didn\u2019t suspend themselves, but they should have.  There are calls for the reporterette to be fired and the producer to be fired over this report.  Well, while they\u2019re trying to put themselves back together on this, the NFL Network, which is owned by the league, there is a reporter there named <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MikeSilver\/status\/505371181659467777\">Mike Silver<\/a>, and he has just tweeted that he doesn\u2019t expect Michael Sam to make the Rams 53-man, the final roster. <\/p>\n<p>Now, ESPN\u2019s gonna see this.  Another ESPN trick, when somebody else breaks a story like this, ESPN runs a crawl on the screen: &#8220;ESPN confirms that Michael Sam will not &#8211;&#8221; or they try to make it look like they broke the story or they\u2019re right in there along with it.  Can you imagine, the NFL Network has reported, a reporter there tweeted Michael Sam won\u2019t make the final roster. It\u2019s not official, just this guy\u2019s opinion. <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=8502\"><img id=\"eZObject_95429\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/NFLSamsShower4.jpg\"\/><\/a>But it\u2019s supposedly inside news, inside opinion, league\u2019s own network, a reporter there may have an in with the Rams.  The final cuts are due Saturday at four o\u2019clock.  Final cuts, four o\u2019clock tomorrow, so that\u2019s when everybody will know.  ESPN, &#8220;Oh, what do we do with this?  Oh, my God, does this have anything to do with our shower story?  I wonder if it has to do with our shower story.  Oh, gee.&#8221;  I just love this stuff.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: ESPN may be in a tizzy right as we speak.
