Rush Limbaugh is a big fat idiot.

Those who follow sports may no doubt have heard of Rush Limbaugh's resignation from ESPN's Sunday NFL Countdown show, over his controversial remarks.

As former Georgetown coach John Thompson noted, I do wish he'd been kept on ESPN so that people could have a chance to directly confront his arguments in a forum where he'd have to defend or disavow. As it plays out, he'll either be a convenient target or martyr, but there won't be the same opportunity to educate and counter the ignorance Limbaugh's simplistic viewpoint propounds and represents.
