Rush Limbaugh likes to talk. And Rush will always speak his mind. And maybe that is what will keep him from becoming part owner in the NFL Rams football franchise.

Rush Limbaugh

The Rosenbloom family is putting the St. Louis Rams up for sale and Limbaugh is part of a group that has expressed interest in buying the pro football team. But comments Limbaugh has made in the past seem to have caught up with the conservative talk show host, and one of the NFL owners has already come out to say he would not vote for ownership for Limbaugh.

Jim Irsay of the Indianapolis Colts said recently “I, myself, couldn’t even consider voting for him,” Irsay said at the owners meetings. “When there are comments that have been made that are inappropriate, incendiary and insensitive … our words do damage, and it’s something that we don’t need.”

Some of the comments Rush has made include, “The NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it.” and in regards to Donovan McMahon, “I think what we’ve had here is a little social concern in the NFL. The media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well.”

Rush Limbaugh has his image to uphold and the NFL has theirs, and the outspoken Limbaugh may be too much for the NFL owners to handle, so look for a rejection for Rush on this one.

NFL Tickets are available for all of the games of the 2009-10 season.

NFL Football tickets are moving at a much slower pace this year with NFL season ticket sales down significantly from last year for some ball clubs, as reported in the Sacramento Bee. Several of the same teams with poor records are on the list again this year including the Detroit Lions, St. Louis Rams and the Oakland Raiders and face multiple blackout dates for local television viewing.

NFL Football 2009-10

A number of teams came close to a blackout for NFL’s opening day with the surprise being the defending NFC Champion’s the Arizona Cardinals, who barely avoided the blackout. There may be as many as 10-12 NFL teams with problems selling out their stadiums this year compared to only three last year.

Compounding the problem for the NFL is the reselling of tickets. If the team hasn’t sold out, you can bet the ticket brokers have not as well. Ticket brokers may have NFL ticket prices below the face value of the ticket as game day approaches, undercutting the team trying to sell their own tickets.

But the NFL may have only themselves to blame for the rising prices to attend a live game, and encouraging season ticket holders to resell their own tickets, creating a flood of tickets on the market for many of the poorer selling teams.

You don’t have to look very far to find teams without blackout problems. The Dallas Cowboys had no problem selling out their new Cowboy Stadium even with the highest cost for a family of four to attend a game, a whopping $750.

Now, rather than getting the best deal directly from the NFL team, you may just want to check ticket brokers such as PreferredSeat.com for the best deal in NFL tickets.
