Default Keith Olbermann on NBC sports football show?????

What the hell can NBC sports be thinking of. They are having that political hack Co-host the pre-game show on Sunday Night Football. Can't we enjoy football shows without political hacks?

And to show you that I'm fair and balanced, I thought it was a big mistake for ESPN to have Rush Limbaugh on. It was just a cheap attempt to get ratings. Also I would be just as pissed if Sean Heanity was doing the Fox pre-game show. So, I'm not saying this because Olbermann is a Dem's ballwasher.

There is too much politics being mixed in to everything these days. Why can't they leave football alone.

I needed to vent this when I heard about it today. Now, back to the regular political arguements.

I'll bet he's smart enough to stay away from the third rail of Football commentary, which of course, is any criticism of Donovan McNabb's passing skills. I'm also going to go out on a limb here and predict that Turd Ferguson will find him slightly less annoying than Wanda Sikes.

What a terrible idea. What's next............. O'Reilly on ESPN.

I thought Olby was worse on ESPN then he is now. Unwatchable.

Well I didn't watch it anyway but this finishes me off. I don't care if he doesn't touch politics, just the sound of his voice makes me want to throw up. He repulses me. And aside from his politics, he's not nearly as smart or funny as he seems to think he is.

If they think he can get ratings, they will hire him, no matter what else he stands for.

On a side note, although he can too easily get full of himself, Olberman does have his moments, imho. Can be funny, at times.

When he says "Bush is a great leader" on NBC football, he'll be talking about REGGIE Bush this time.

As for his Countdown show, it's entertaining. Even though his "Special Comments" are WAY overboard, I still like them alot.

The Dingobats will love it, he will be giving all his little Anti Bush, Anti War, Anti Jesus, "Cute Shots".

Do professional Football Players still kneel in the locker room and pray before a game or is that "To Republican"

What you guys don't understand is to the people in the media, Olbermann is a moderate. They are all very left of center, and probably didn't even consider him as a hack. We already have to endure Byrant Gumbel (although he did look sickly the other night, maybe not for that much longer) on the NFL Network. Imagine if John Madden, was on air and said that he couldn't be bothered watching the NBA because they have as many white guys as a black panther meeting. He would have been fired before the next commerical break.

On his HBO show Gumbel said this..................

"Count me among those who don't care about them and won't watch them. So try not to laugh when someone says these are the world's greatest athletes, despite a paucity of blacks that makes the Winter Games look like a GOP convention,"


And what happened to him.. nothing.
