    If he's doing so in an attempt to be ironic, he's ****ing brilliant. As a performance art type thing. That'd be some Andy Kauffman type ****.

    No he was a sportscenter anchor, and then was cohost with Dan Patrick, then left and then came back for like an hour a day. Then him and Dan Patrick both left.

    Oh my bad, I forgot he worked there. I know he worked for Fox for 3 years or so though.

    Yes. They gave him his own show to lure him from ESPN. Then he got canned for whatever reason. And that's why he hates Rupert Murdoch so much.

    Ah that's right, I forgot he got fired from Fox. I knew he was there for awhile but I forgot he got canned.

    Also he hates a lot of people.

    Olbermann's excuse is he reported Murdoch's company was going to sell the Dodgers in 2001. Murdoch then fired him.

    Obviously Murdoch denies the report, and for what it's worth, his company sold the Dodgers in 2004. But I doubt a smart business man like Murdoch is going to hold off on selling the Dodgers for three years just so Olbermann looks crazy.

    No one stays mad because they get canned in broadcasting. It is a way of life. The job is thought of as a temp job.

    Yeah...and Olbermann totally doesn't seem like the type to hold a grudge.

    Haha. My issue with Olbermann is he's like Bill O'reilly. But more arrogant, if possible. And lacking any sense of journalistic talent.

    He's not as smart as O'reilly though. At times it seems that he (Olbermann) just cruises the left wing blogs, and pieces his show together from that.

    It wouldn't surprise me. O'Reilly at least has a team of grunts to do that stuff for him

    Is he? Did not know that. Then again, I don't have much of an attention span for him.

    I have Olbermann ADD.
