I think I'm somewhere in the middle... I think that there are numerous things wrong with Limbaugh's comments:
first of all, he's wrong: McNabb is a great quarterback who really isn't surrounded by great talent. Philly has had one of the leagues better defenses at times, but as far as offensive weapons, he has been the main guy.
second, he assumed he was correct is saying so, so there must be some other motivation behind McNabb's praise. He could've simply said that he was overrated, Coversation Over.
Instead he brings race into an issue when there is no need to... i feel this makes him a hypocrite... see my above qoute.
Finally, he's just wrong about "the media" wanting a successful black quarterback. Doug Williams, Warren Moon, Michael Vick, Steve McNair, Rodney Peete (had his moments last season), Randall Cunningham, Daunte Culpepper, Kordell Stewart (had his moments as well), now Byron Leftwich... the issue of black quarterbacks is just NOT an issue anymore.

on the other hand, I don't think this should be such a huge deal. ESPN got what they asked for, and really how/why should anyone get offended or shocked at what Rush says? It's like getting mad at the mentally handicapped kid who just crapped his pants. He can't help it, it's just what he does. Really was anybody surprised at what he said?

I think it is an amusing situation. Rush could've crushed the situation, but instead decide to quit, possible because he didn't want to apologize. He had to be a "real man" and stand up for what he believes in. Funny thing is that he could've apologized without compromising what he believes in, but he would rather quit, because for someone like Limbaugh, admitting that you were wrong, in whatever capacity is much more damaging than just walking away. "What? Rush apologized... he's so PC!"

Sorry for rambling, my take is that the thing got turned into a media circus (surprise), and I think that what he said was stupid and wrong, but I've always pretty much taken him for a windbag (so no suprise).

EDIT: By the way, does anybody want to make a trade with me in the I-mock fantasy league? I need a good RB.
