The wingnuts are going batshit in an email campaign against Keith Olbermann doing commentary on NBC's Sunday Night Football, would appreciate some emails saying that Keith is a great journalist and you look forward to hearing him in the booth for Sunday night games.

Mr. Dick Ebersol
President of NBC Sports & Senior Vice President of News

Thanks

Wasn't the NFL broadcasting contract the beginning of the end for Dennis Miller? Personally I'd rather Keith do what he's already doing.

I think ratings are the only reason that matters. And the ratings with Miller were not good for ABC

I'm talking about Miller's slide from free thinker to neocon shill. I don't want that to happen to Keith! You know ABC would never let him inject politics into the game coverage.

On Tony Kornheriser's debut on MNF, he made a reference to "Howard Dean's scream" during the telecast in an attempt to be funny (why he said this I dont remember) and I fired off an email asking him, politely, to refrain from veiled political cheapshots.

Dennis Miller is now a frequent contributor on FOX Noise.

So, that is the Mickey Mouse network for ya. They suck.

Can't stop here. This is Bat Country!


Maybe remind them that Olberman worked the sports desk for quite a while,
and that controversy only increases interest.

Besides, I really believe Keith can take the heat, with a grin on his face.

I can pretty much gaurantee that thoose writing to protest him being a SPORTSCASTER are knuckle dragging, ditto-headed billow fans. That said, I tend to agree with spud that I like him where he is, doing his job exposing corruption, not joining an outfit where it's recognized and institutional. However, I don't believe that there's any way he will be coerced to the dark side, and having faith in that, i'll shoot them an email.
