Smizzy Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Keith Olbermann returns to football duty with NBC By Michael McCarthy, USA TODAY NEW YORK — NBC is bringing in MSNBC anchor Keith Olbermann to co-host the second season of its prime time Sunday studio show, Football Night in America. Dick Ebersol, chairman of NBC Universal Sports & Olympics said Olbermann will call highlights and debate NFL news with returning co-hosts Bob Costas and Cris Collinsworth, analysts Jerome Bettis and Tiki Barber and reporter Peter King of Sports Illustrated. NBC recently dropped one of last season's analysts, Sterling Sharpe, in favor of Barber, the former New York Giants running back. The assignment marks Olbermann's first network sports assignment in six years. The pre-game Football Night in America is followed by Sunday Night Football game telecasts with John Madden, Al Michaels and Andrea Kramer. The assignment does not impact Olbermann's prime time newscast, where the former ESPN, Fox and NBC sportscaster has a emerged as an opinionated, politically liberal counterpoint to conservative star Bill O'Reilly of Fox News.

KO is great. Not sure how old you are but Dan Patrick and Keith Olbermann used to be co-hosts of the Sunday Night SportsCenter back in the day and they were great. Good move.

Not sure how old you are but Dan Patrick and Keith Olbermann used to be co-hosts of the Sunday Night SportsCenter back in the day and they were great. Good move. yup and they remain great friends-in fact Keith sits in with Dan on his ESPN radio show still-I'm not sure if it's every day but they have history and a great chemistry together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Why do people trash this guy sometimes ? So what if he's old. He provides experience and that is something we need. He can help out young guys and they'll get better. It's not that serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking that the couple of people calling out Keith never saw him on SportsCenter. Olbermann is smart and funny. Something that most anchors on SportsCenter would aspire to be.

But he'd probably be scared to meet me just like how he pulled out of the Athens olympics because he was scared his security detail wasn't big enough.

Mavrik Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Patrick-Olbermann back in the day was great. Olbermann now? I don't know...too political. Hopefully he sticks to football when the coverage starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free speech is all well and good but when you spew that kind of ignorance on the public airwaves for a private Company you may lose your job. Thats all that happened. Imus lost his job. Thats it. Nothing more, nothing less. He lost his job for being an idiot. Are you learning anything at Rutgers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
