Touching stories from Lee Greenwood's America, Vol. I


In the annals of football and sacrifice, Pat Tillman has nothing on this poor soul who has had the league of Pat Patriot soil his love of 'Murica more thoroughly than his hero's pants soiled were in rehab.

Mark Muller, owner of Max Motors and wannabe arms dealer (he saved Missourians from having to make the hard choice between a pickup truck and an assault rifle this summer by giving away free AK-47s with purchase of a truck), is now claiming that he's canceling his Kansas City Chiefs season tickets because the NFL supposedly blocked Limbaugh's attempt to buy the St. Louis Rams.


And in the most laughable story of prioritizing one's life ever...

Muller told the Cybercast News Service that Limbaugh was the reason he first went to an NFL game. Muller claimed that he heard Limbaugh endorse the NFL on his radio program in the '80s. Muller supposedly talked to his wife, and they "gave up everything in our life at the time [so] we could buy two season tickets, no more dinners out, nothing."


They gave up EVERYTHING! Suck it Arbys!

Poor me, I chose an NFL club the ol' fashioned way. I lived in the general geographic area of one (and as this was the Minnesota Vikings I don't want to go into too much depth over how that has worked out for me).
