7 October 2009 315 views No Comment

Conservative talk king Rush Limbaugh is reportedly working to put together a deal to gain an ownership stake in the St. Louis Rams NFL franchise.

Radio personality Rush Limbaugh has joined forces with Dave Checketts, owner of the NHL St. Louis Blues, in a bid to buy the St. Louis Rams, league sources confirmed.

Limbaugh, a conservative political commentator, said in a statement: “Dave and I are part of a bid to buy the Rams, and we are continuing the process. But I can say no more because of a confidentiality clause in our agreement with Goldman Sachs. We cannot and will not talk about our partners. But if we prevail, we will be the operators of the team.”

Limbaugh is heard daily in Chicago on WLS-AM 890.

According to the LA Times, Limbaugh made $285 million on his eight-year radio deal from 2001 to 2009. His current deal, which runs through 2016, reportedly pays Limbaugh $400 million.
