How does Keith Olberman still get jobs?

He is a grade A bag of douche that gets punted from job after job for being an *** yet he still gets rehired. I don't get it.

 

[patdog]

It's certainly not because I'm watching him. Sad to see a guy who was once an awesome SportsCenter anchor become bitter and unfunny.

 

[KurtRambis4]

He certainly was good

at one time, but he's turned into a crazy-*** lunatic. I'm not real sure that anyone with a brain can take him seriously.

We call that the Lane Kiffin Effect.

The guy knows baseball. But he wants to play politics. Surprised this wasn't swept under the rug on account of ESPN's new emphasis to promote an ideology.

Olbermann is right however that Penn State has already lost it's sensitivity to what has happened there.

 

[treeddeep]

I actually really like olbermann

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

I do too most of the time until he acts like a douche nozzle like this.

[Hanmudog]

Olberman and Dan Patrick were the best there ever was on Sportscenter but like so many writers and broadcasters these days Olberman just can't stick to sports and instead feel the need to inject politics or social issues into everything.
I watch sports to get away from that crap.

 

[The Peeper]

Because he's a liberal hand job donor to a bunch of liberal hand job receivers, i.e. mass media executives.

 

[patdog]

Dan Patrick is still just as awesome as ever.

 

[DancingRabbit]

Dan can relate to us common folks. Keith, not so much. He's on an intellectual

level all by himself.

ETA - I'm not much a fan of Penn State or their fans anymore. I'm not going to read their twitter war, but I might even side with Olberman on this one.

 

[Shamoan]

new englanders like him i guess. roughly half the people in the country have an entirely different perspective and philosophy on life and i suppose those are the ones that continue to toss him bones. birds of a feather and whatnot.

 

[DancingRabbit]

I have noticed- PSU fans re: Paterno = Auburn fans re: Cam

I totally disagreed with the weak *** ncaa diluting their penalties and restoring Sandusky's wins.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Dan Patrick I'm pretty sure is liberal too.

Big thing with him is he doesn't act like an intellectual douche like Keith.

 

[BulldogBlitz]

i read the parts that were given up, but have no idea what olberman was referencing - if it was anything other than the tweet about raising money for charity, that needs to be known in order to side with olberman.

i dunno, maybe it is pathetic to raise money for a charity.

I think Patrick is in the middle, which looks to be on the left from the far right.
Nothing wrong with liberals or conservatives, the USA just need a few more in the middle. Too bad no one can win a primary from the middle.

Sportscasters should stick to reporting what happens on the field and in the front offices. They should leave the illegal stuff off the air. Let CNN/Fox News/MSNBC cover that. They won't, but I wish I could watch a sports show without 25% of it covering who is in court today, who killed who, and who beat up who's girlfriend.

 

[Optimus Prime 4]

Speaking of, there's a rumor here that Dez beat his girlfriend, amd a video will be released later today. I don't lnow if that's real news or local rumors.

 

[Bulldog Bruce]

Can't believe you would defend that opinion.

Olbermann is right however that Penn State has already lost it's sensitivity to what has happened there.

So do you still want to be blamed for Medgar Evers, the 3 civil rights workers in Neshoba County, Cessesion from the Union, Slavery and any other negative that occurred in Mississippi when you celebrate something done right today? I think not. Does not mean you have lost sensitivity to be proud of a good accomplishment.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

I'm not far right.

 

[Predestined]

He pays Shepard Smith????

Is this a trick question???/

You cannot be serious!!!! You do know that they are restoring the Penn State football program to the position it was before any of this came to light - statue and all? Is restoring victories your idea of a "good accomplishment"? Try restoring one of those kids to sanity for a good accomplishment. It was 5 years ago! Not 50!

17 YOU! And I personally blame you for slavery because you wrote that stupid ****!

A Penn State tweeter ended their tweet with "We are...", to which Olbermann replied "pitiful". The pitiful was a reference to the deification of football at PSU which empowered Sandusky and later led to PSU's reemergence and glorification of Paterno despite his empowerment of a anal rapist of children.

You Olbermann haters - have you actually watched his show? Its the best sports talk show on TV.

Regardless, he's off the chains on twitter and has been for a long time. I used to follow him, but got tired of his ranting and insulting style. Its basically egg bowl.com level childish bickering.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Yeah I heard it makes the ray rice video look tame.

 

[aTotal360]

Adam Shefter is eluding to the potential existence of the video. Deadspin has made it public they want to buy the video if it does exist. It's obviously going to be a bidding war between them and TMZ.

Sounds like this thing has legs.
