Gregg Easterbrook writes that “Rush Went Deep When He Should Have Handed Off.”
My first reaction to Limbaugh’s comments–he said Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb, who’s black, was a poor player being coddled by the sports media because of his race–was that Rush was simply wrong on the football. McNabb is a top-tier quarterback, though he had two crummy games to start this season. I was in Ralph Wilson Stadium for the Eagles-at-Bills game on Sunday, and as McNabb was beating up on the home team, remember thinking, “I’d hate to have to defense this guy.” At least half the teams in the NFL would exchange their starting QBs for McNabb in an instant.
