NFL: Fergie's Cool, Rush Limbaugh Not So Much

Black Eyed Pea cleared as minority owner of Miami Dolphins while Limbaugh's "divisive comments" blamed for his stalled bid for St. Louis Rams

As far as the NFL is concerned, singing and dancing around in your delicates makes you much more qualified to own a football team than waxing blowhard ever will.

Sorry (but not that sorry), Rush Limbaugh.

While the bloviating conservative pundit's "divisive comments" (now there's an understatement) are being blamed for his failure to make headway in his bid for the St. Louis Rams, Fergie is the latest in a long line of celebrities who have been getting the red carpet rolled out as an NFL part-owner.

Apparently, wardrobe malfunctions are no longer of chief concern to the league.

Marc Anthony, Venus and Serena Williams and Gloria Estefan will be making room in their skybox with word that the Black Eyed Pea has become the latest star in the increasingly disparate constellation that is the Miami Dolphins ownership. Or at least she will once she returns from her Australia tour and can formally sign the paperwork.

Like the other coowners, Fergie will likely be expected to show her face at the stadium for a handful of home games—therein attracting, the hope is, more of the ticket-buying public.

And it might get a certain wannabe recruit that much closer to the roster.

Forget "are you ready for some football?" The reason question is, "Is football ready for you?" As long as your name isn't  Limbaugh, the answer is a resounding yes.
