Filed under: Rams Rush Limbaugh as the owner of the St. Louis Rams? The team may be on the market because longtime owner Georgia Frontiere died this year, and Limbaugh buying them is the bizarre NFL rumor that isn’t going away.

Last week Limbaugh told the St. Louis Business Journal:”The Rams would be a great team to have. I have a lot of friends in ownership in the NFL, and my desire to get involved has not been a secret. …

This is a business decision. … There is a whole lot of interest in the Rams with the NFL being a business entity that a lot of people want to be involved in. But it’s becoming a billionaires’ club.”
Limbaugh’s comments that being an NFL owner is a billionaires’ club — and that he’s not a billionaire — seemed to indicate that his purchasing the Rams was more a fantasy than a possibility. But the St. Louis Post Dispatch reports that Limbaugh could acquire a minority share or be part of a larger conglomerate that buys the Rams.

Is it going to happen? I don’t think so. But Limbaugh sounds like he’s not ready to rule it out.
