OLBERMANN IN TALKS FOR LATE NIGHT TALK SHOW. This is a stroke of genius! Insomniacs will now be put to sleep 5 minutes after they turn on the show and ESPN2 will save a lot of money! Why? Because with Olbermann, you don’t need guests as he never shuts up.

Ok, now there's ANOTHER good reason for me to not start watching ESPN. I never have before, so the boycott should be pretty easy for me.
Olbermann should get a job cleaning Bill O'Reilly's toilet bowl.
I'm not sure Bill would allow that.
I will boycott any product that advertises during this shit heads show
The only problem is you would have to watch the show to find out who advertises!
It just isn't worth the effort.
You saved me the effort of making that exact point.
ESPN is headquartered in one of the most liberal areas of the country and I've noticed before that they tend to lean to the left. And as usual with lefties, they are clearly self-destructive because Olbermann brings nothing to the ESPN table except a reason to switch to other channels.
He must have a degree in "wind baggery" from an IV Leak Skool.
Blow hard Keith started out at ESPN and wore out his welcome many years ago. Wonder what Olbermann has on someone at Disney? He's never played a sport at a competive level, yet he's bounced around like some big time sportscaster.
At least he's not running for public office.
Yet....Since he is a libturd he has to commit some kinda sex crime first.
I'm sure he has. Now he has to get caught.
He doesn't know shit about anything else, what makes ESPN think he's knows a f***ing thing about sports? This is yet another reason for me NOT to watch ESPN, or any of it's spin-offs!
Late night on Al Gorzerra TV? that's where he needs to be....say from 3:15 to 3:30 am right after a 15 minute commercial for the clapper.
I've long thought that sports fans lean to the right. Maybe not the NBA, but football and baseball. ESPN has no problem hiring this guy who has hammered conservatives mercilessly, while Rush Limbaugh made one criticism of Donovan McNabb and was gone. I actually disagreed with Rush on that in that I thought McNabb was better than he gave him credit for. Of course, McNabb never won the big one. Does ESPN know that many sports fans aren't politically correct liberals or do they not care? Remember when ESPN apologized for the sportscaster calling the Alabama quarterback's girlfriend beautiful? Why apologize? Were they afraid radical feminist and lesbian football fans would be outraged?
As I recall the comment wasn't entirely critical of McNabb per se but was an observation of the sports media promoting as elite skills that, while were admittedly good, may not have been on par with the likes of a Joe Montana. He called out the endless promotion of McNabb as an elite for being a reflection of the media's desire to have a black quarterback be successful.
While Limbaugh resigned, it seems more than obvious he was pressured into doing so. A friend of mine made a rather astute observation: clearly ESPN hired Limbaugh in hopes that the aura of controversy associated with the name would draw viewers but the instant he said anything actually controversial he was gone. While it was clear the PC thugs ultimately had their way, ESPN should have known what they were getting into when they took on Rush and had an opportunity to stand behind him and advocate more honest dialog about these types of things but like the chicken shits they showed themselves to be they jettisoned their charge the instant he showed itself to be what they hired him to be.
ESPN should be HESPN- Hypocritical Entertainment and Sports Programming Network.
