The idea of Rush Limbaugh owning the Rams didn't last very long. But it was an odd week, while it was tossed around.

First of all, only 60% of the Rams is for sale. Second, why would Dave Checketts, the leader of one group of bidders, pronounce Limbaugh as one of his partners? Sure, Rush has the cash and they would keep the team in St. Louis. But there are 5 or 6 groups bidding and the Checketts group was not the leading candidate. So, why bring Limbaugh up now?

I can only figure they needed some other partners, probably stronger, to make their bid the winning one. And maybe Limbaugh got sacrificed to secure a bigger fish. Otherwise, it was plainly a bad PR move at this stage of the game.
