I Agree with Mac

So I'm watching Fox 5's pregame coverage of the Braves/Mets game earlier tonight, and who do I see? Non other than Rush Limbaugh. Although Mac says it much more bluntly, I wonder what is the fascination with Limbaugh as a sports commentator. Was he a star athlete before his punditry days? Was he a writer for Sports Illustrated? I mean, it's kinda random that Rush of all people keeps poppping up in the sports world.
