"Do you think it's gonna be a Packers blowout? Do you see where that could happen?"

Rush Limbaugh asked Ken Hutcherson on Friday's show:

THE HUTCH:  Well, I do.  That's why I was gonna make you promise me that you won't turn the TV off at halftime.

RUSH:  I would never turn the Super Bowl off at halftime no matter what's happening....

THE HUTCH:  ... But if you will notice, why do most advertisers want to advertise on the first half?

RUSH:  Well, Hutch, it's because the women stop watching at halftime.

THE HUTCH: (laughing) No.  Because they know, man, that the Super Bowl has a tendency to be one-sided. We've had some great Super Bowls in the last....

RUSH:  Yeah, but it hasn't been the case in the last five or six years.  This game has gone down to the last play...

THE HUTCH:  But there is a possibility that someone could be put to shame this week. I'm not gonna push, but I believe my Green Bay Packers are gonna come through....

So, Packers win in a blowout, right? Anyway, you see the subject of women came up. It comes up again at the end of the discussion:

RUSH: Hutch, neither the Steelers nor the Packers have cheerleaders.  This is gonna be the first Super Bowl in history, I think, without cheerleaders....

THE HUTCH:  The whole aspect of chickification of the game, I'm proud that finally they did something to keep women off the field....

RUSH:  Tell me how the game's being chickified.  I've got one minute.

THE HUTCH:  Okay.  Look at all of the new rules.  Everything that keeps you from being boys (laughing) they're making you get penalties for.  You can't celebrate, and if you do, you gotta do it alone.  Helmet to helmet. You can't have two vicious of a hook.  That's the game of football, and they're totally feminizing the game, and we're getting a little tired of it.

RUSH:  You think there's gonna be --

THE HUTCH:  Besides, there is a lot more prostate cancer in the world than breast cancer, bro.

RUSH:  I hear you, pal.

THE HUTCH: Let's put some black out there on the field and take care of the guys.
