Can’t imagine anyone rising up comparable to Rush Limbaugh.  Like him or hate him, he was the King of his field.  Guys with his ability rarely come along.  Guys like Walter Winchell, Paul Harvey.   Analogous to a Tom Brady in football, Michael Jordan in basketball, a Walter Cronkite in TV news, or a John Wayne in movies.  Special individuals who have that thing, the IT factor.  There are hundreds/thousands of others that do the same thing, a few almost as well or so close, barely indistinguishable, but they don’t have the IT.   If there’s a name for IT I don’t know it.  I have no idea why they have IT and others don’t.

RIP Rush.

Rush did radio like a steak.....a rare medium well done. Difficult to replace.

Hagar mentioned Paul Harvey. I grew up listening to him. He had a serious and humorous side. To me, what made him so great was his pauses....even in his sign off. Sorry, not trying to overshadow the passing of Limbaugh, just didn’t want to start another thread.

Rush will be sorely missed. R.I.P.

In 1993 we were living in Marshall, Tx and had just gotten out of the military.  I was in the police academy but had to go every day to Texarkana.  We had no money so my wife would pack me a sandwich and some chips for lunch.  I would go and sit out in my truck and listen to him every day while I ate.  Good times and seems just like yesterday.

Spot on about Paul Harvey.  That pause, and then, good day.  Simple words that had an impact.  That’s that IT factor I referred to.

True American Patriot to Conservatism. Heart Broken to hear of his passing. Prayers for the family. One of his sayings was “Half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair” was so true. Great conservative mind. Will be missed greatly by millions. 
 

RIP RUSH  

“ The Doctor of Democracy “

 

Another one of his great lines was in reference to liberals:

"I know them like every square inch of my gloriously naked body."

Charisma, that's the word for IT. Paul Harvey was one of my favorites. As a young kid, my dad would listen to him every morning on the way to drop me off at school. Sometimes even let me be late to hear... "the rest of the story." I was lucky and always cherish those memories.

      Multi-Sport Athletes

      I would not say NO ONE REALLY CARES WHAT HAPPENS WITH BASEBALL.. All you have to do is go to Ford Park every weekend and look at how much money parents pour into baseball.. lol I get what you are saying.. but look at it from this point of view... WINS look good on resume correct? Would a AD do better if he has all his multi-sport kids stay in his program? Again they are usually the more athletic kid. Is his actions driving away the more athletic kids to "concentrate on one sport"? Sometimes more is not better.. Kids get burned out really quick if they believe their AD/Coach does not care about their personal athletic dreams and desires.  Like I said.. a Good AD knows how to navigate this issue.

      What has happened to Jasper?

      By PlayActionPass · Posted

      Never understood why you can't be good at all 4 major sports. If you are talented enough, and athletic enough to be a Regional Finalist football team, then you would think you would be athletic enough to at least be competitive in basketball. If you wanted to be...... And as big a baseball town as Jasper is, where did that tradition go? Where are those kids now?

      Can't blame the AD. Texas is a Football mecca. If an AD does poorly in football, but decent in baseball, he may be looking for another job soon. If he does great in football, then no one really cares what happens with baseball, generally speaking. He's trying to keep a job and bolster his resume' for the next chance to promote his career.

      there won't be a scheduling problem... cause AD's don't allow them to play.. its a nice double standard they like to use.

      Sorry, I didn't know that. I guess they can do both, and if there is a schedule problem, the kid will have to decide.
