    so he burned out in the political world and went back to sports...word is he's rude as ? to folks and ppl get tired of his act


    sounds like overkill tho...i mean how many shows do they need to recap the days events

    I bet that ? will be hilarious. I'll give it a shot. I loved his MSNBC show and his era on Sportscenter was the GOAT.

    These SC anchors now are all the same. I can't tell one from the other besides the vets.

    I never saw him on ESPN during his day but his MSNBC show was entertaining so this is a W in my book

    My personal opinion: But i have never heard anything good from those who have worked with him in the past. At least not those who left (which might be logical). gawker.com/5874373/a-former-keith-olbermann-employee-speaks-rage-outbursts-and-bad-suits

    in all. He is just not my cup of tea. Even though he hates the tea party and calls them racist. Even though he thinks O'Reilly is the worst person in the world. I just dont like the guy.

    Most of these TV personalities are ? . They're hella vain and insecure.

    Cris Berman is a ? too. I heard Joe Buck doesn't want people to even talk to him within 10 minutes of going on air.

    True a lot of guys are ? and insecure, but it comes up more in regards to Olberman b/c he's burned bridges and got into with management at 3 different networks.

    but I just don't see the point of another recap show when they already have 20 shows giving me recaps...that's my only gripe...ill check it out tho

    it's time for ESPN to move on from Berman or start lessening his role

    Berman is their Madden right now. He's a legend so he'll be on there until he damn near starts forgetting where he is like Madden was doing in his last few years.

    (I knew it was a wrap for Madden when he started talking about christmas shopping for his granddaughter in the middle of a regular season game. lol.)

    I'll say this tho... At one point, him and Bill O'Reilly were on some Jay-Z vs Nas type ish.
    And since Olberman is going back to sports...














    O'Reilly = Jay Z

    Olberman = Nas-taking-an-L.gif




    But as a rapper: Nas >>> Jay.

    Same goes for Olberman/O'reilly

    I'll never forget how Keith Olberman almost single-handedly checked and balanced all the racism and BS in the 2008 election. Every. Single. Night.

    Literally, I will never forget it. His fire was needed for the usually docile democrats.

    He's forever good in my book.

    People forget that the original host of the Daily Show was a sportscenter alum too...

    the msnbc network consistanty got poor ratings, and he was a part of that, but he was a great an entertaining political voice for that side of the fence but it just didnt work out for him so well in that arena.

    If he takes this show and uses it to go in on athletes, teams, owners, etc... the way he went in on bush and republicans, then i think it could be better received.

    and he needs to mix in some of this

    Keith Olberman = Rachel Madow

    They will be interchangeable when she gets that sex change.
