"Pigskin" takes on a whole new meaning

Reuters via the Times here:

Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh will soon be calling some signals for ESPN's weekly football preview ``Sunday NFL Countdown.''

Starting in September, Limbaugh, 52, will join the show's line-up as the ``voice of the fan,'' delivering an opinion piece near the top of the two-hour telecast each week, the Walt Disney Co.-owned sports network said on Monday.

Voice of the fan?! Not this fan!

NOTE: It's also sloppy and dishonest to call Limbaugh a "conservative." He isn't.
