Multiple media and network television sources confirmed to me Thursday that Keith Olbermann will not appear on NBC’s Football Night In America Sunday evening NFL broadcasts this season.
(Follow Brooks on Twitter for realtime updates)
Some members of the FNIA cast and crew were made aware of the news Monday at a preseason production meeting in New York City. Afterwards, the cast and crew adjourned to Yankee Stadium to watch the Yankees-Blue Jays game.
I’m told that NBC News officials requested the move, citing Olbermann’s weekday commitment to MSNBC’s Countdown with Keith Olbermann. During the 2009 NFL season, Olbermann periodically did not appear on Friday editions of Countdown.
Network television sources confirmed to me that Olbermann’s departure from FNIA was not due to any conflict with cast or production crew members. I was also given no indication that Olbermann’s politics had anything to do with the move.
Olbermann has hosted Countdown since 2003 and had served in varying capacities on FNIA since 2007.

Keith always did a great job and was a terrific addition to the cast. I don’t think this has anything to do with his politics.
Costas is top class, everyone knows this. The show won’t exactly be hurt by his exit.
Congrats to a few solid years, though.
6:56 pm on August 5th, 2010
I think this has been in the works for a while. When Rush was denied privilege of being an NFL owner due to his high profile, so to speak, calls started about Olbermann to get off FNA. Frankly, the set was always too packed and Dan Patrick needs no help doing highlights
7:00 pm on August 5th, 2010
Yes! One less pinko liberal on TV.
7:04 pm on August 5th, 2010
I know many who would switch channels when olberm came on. These were hardcore football and consumer driven fans. They wouldn’t see the commercials etc. It was pretty widespread. It was costing ratings points. It’s not his politics…it’s his style of demonizing and attacking even moderate democrats. The guy is depressing and it comes across in his funeral manner. He also never evolved from his act. References to 90′ s movies and stars? Hecwascan awful choice and we probably have . Dan Patrick to thank for that mistake.
7:12 pm on August 5th, 2010
Keith and I agree politically. We also share the fact our creativity long ago vanished. Let me reiterate that the leader of Iran has been ” demonized” and “Hitler has been scapegoated.” Remember the story about olbermann locking himself in a bathroom and refusing to do his show? Israel’s fault.
7:13 pm on August 5th, 2010
Hate his MSNBC personality and not a huge fan of his politics… but I liked him on FNIA, disappointed he won’t be back.
7:16 pm on August 5th, 2010
Well that’s step one. The next step is to get his COUNTDOWN show canned! He’s a stinking communist liberal idiot!
7:18 pm on August 5th, 2010
Sound like a perfect time to torment Keith via Twitter about this. Trust me, he will read it, it will bother him, and he will respond to you - and probably do so around 3:13am.
7:18 pm on August 5th, 2010
Hahahaha! Yeah, right. This isn’t about his politics, it’s about his committment to MSNBC?
Keith is a ratings loser. One commentor was right, he’s just so depressing.
You don’t bring in the ratings, you don’t bring in the bucks. You don’t bring in the bucks, you don’t come back. Period. Keith is a loser. And that’s a fact.
7:20 pm on August 5th, 2010
awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
7:22 pm on August 5th, 2010
Uh oh, the Uberdouche will no doubt be taking another leave of absence from “Countdown” to cry himself to sleep in his bathtub…
7:24 pm on August 5th, 2010
Bozo the Clown takes a hike. It’s about damn time. Now I won’t have to change the channel at halftime.
7:25 pm on August 5th, 2010
I don’t care why they did it; I just thank gawd someone pulled the trigger on getting that smug, smarmy, blubbery pile of poop off the show. He ticked me off so bad I couldn’t enjoy the game.
7:25 pm on August 5th, 2010
queef olderman was fire straight up. NBC couldnt take the complaints any more and the libby pigy “news” department is trying to allow him to save some face —fat and ugly as that face may be. truth be told he started out wanting to be a sportcaster and was as big a loudmouthed blowhard failure in that field as he has proven to be in news commentary. too bad for him that the 500,000 viewers he has for his msnbc drivel dont watch sports and that number, in any event, pales in comparison with the millions of NFL fans who hate his guts. good riddance to bad rubbish
7:26 pm on August 5th, 2010
I stopped watching FNIA because of Olberman - an unhinged, lunatic extremist - who was a lousy ESPN anchor.
Instead I would switch to the NFL Network and watch RIch Eisen instead - who was a great ESPN anchor.
Even without K.O. polluting FNIA, I’m still going to boycott the pre-game show … just because - Costas and Dan P. are still too smug for my taste.
7:27 pm on August 5th, 2010
When Comcast owns NBC will they continue to lose money with MSNBC?
7:29 pm on August 5th, 2010
Maybe I can watch that show again now.
“When Comcast owns NBC will they continue to lose money with MSNBC?”
It has been a rumor for quite a while that MSNBC will be totally overhauled, or more probable, shut down.
7:30 pm on August 5th, 2010
Good riddance to that liberal windbag. Now that he has more free time on his hands, maybe he can stalk that equine Rebecca Lobo again, LOL. ——————–>
“Keith Olbermann is the last person who should comment on someone being stalked,” snipes a source inside ESPN. “While [Keith] was at ESPN, he went out with UCONN women’s basketball player Rebecca Lobo a few times, but it didn’t end there.”
According to our insider, Olbermann wouldn’t leave Lobo alone once she decided she was no longer interested, and reportedly starting keeping tabs on her by monitoring her calls and persistently writing her notes.
Says the tipster, “Lobo was close to taking out a restraining order against him, but spared him—and herself—the negative publicity that would have ensued.”
7:31 pm on August 5th, 2010
Olbermaniac was thrown off the football show because he started to believe that George W. Bush must own a football team and he was dead-set to root against them, no matter who they are.
Now he can go back to concentrating on his low-rated comedy show, which is followed by another comedic program hosted by Rachel Maddow, the only woman on tv with an Adam’s apple and a 5 o’clock shadow.
7:32 pm on August 5th, 2010
Yes, there is a God! I can not thank the powers that be enough for the decision.
7:34 pm on August 5th, 2010
I’m so happy! I wrote an email every week to NBC last season asking them to take him off. If you like him, you can find him on MSNBC - I hate him and never watch him and was forced to in order to watch football. I don’t blame people that objected to Rush on ESPN back when he was on because he irritates people that don’t like him. People that draw strong negative reactions from many viewers should be seen by the networks as too controversial - it’s in their best interest.
7:35 pm on August 5th, 2010
It’s about time they took him off the air. He sucks.
7:38 pm on August 5th, 2010
Now - I can watch the halftime show, nothing but a filthy liberal - good riddance loser
7:43 pm on August 5th, 2010
There is a God.
7:47 pm on August 5th, 2010
Smarmy is the perfect word for him
7:47 pm on August 5th, 2010
Best news I’ve heard about the upcoming season yet!!!
Olbermann in an uneducated ass, a failure as a sportscaster, and an embarrassment to himself, his beliefs, and FNIA. I would turn it whenever he came on, often never went back.
In all honesty, if he isn’t he is is pretty damn close to the worst person in the world. Serves the a**hole right. I hope Comcast cans that strawman and his ignorant rantings for someone who has a brain.
7:50 pm on August 5th, 2010
liberal or conservative doesn’t matter, Olberman’s passion with condemning Fox News people as worst people ignores those whom are worse. He uses his platform for hatred just like other commetators, or politicians nuff sed
7:55 pm on August 5th, 2010
His disturbing politics aside, anyone that makes a living ridiculing others is tiresome. I have found him to be unwisely sarcastic, glib, offensive and his analysis amateurish. He’s a low-class that made it uptown, and couldn’t handle it with grace and class.
7:56 pm on August 5th, 2010
I can’t remember the last time that ALL commenters agreed on the topic. The show will still suck, it’ll just suck less.
7:59 pm on August 5th, 2010
YES!!! Finally! Now please take your old buddy Dan Patrick along with you. Both of them are just too obnoxious to watch.
8:01 pm on August 5th, 2010
Watch the ratings soar.
Olberasshat was a ratings killer for FNIA. He might have conererd the market with the 19% far-left America hater crowd, but you don’t see too many of those drug addled hippies playing football…know what I mean?
Now I’ll start watching the games on NBC again, as I deliberately stopped watching because I can’t stand the sight of that divisive lunatic / pompous ass.
8:02 pm on August 5th, 2010
CJIowa, you seem upset.
8:03 pm on August 5th, 2010
What a loser! No one watches him on MSNBC except a handful of moonbats. The suits at NBC finally figured out that most people can’t stand the smug ignoramus.
8:06 pm on August 5th, 2010
Glad he is gone the guy makes me sick
8:09 pm on August 5th, 2010
Nice to see this ahole off NBC. Really ruins the games…
8:10 pm on August 5th, 2010
I love it, Olbermann sure drives the wingnuts crazy. Love how they whine, yet project their own immaturity and lack of emotional control on Keith. Keith will now have more time to continue exposing the wingnuts for what they are, anti-American, selfish, race baiters who hate that there is a black President and a female House Speaker. Suck it ignoramuses!
8:12 pm on August 5th, 2010
A bunch of you are retarted on this blog. Olbermann has forgotten more about sports then Rusho could ever know. Olbermann is respected by many atheletes not by you wiennies. Olbermann did ESPN long before he did MSNBC.
8:16 pm on August 5th, 2010
That’s interesting. My reply to CJIowa is posted before his comment. I am a talent.
8:18 pm on August 5th, 2010
Glad to hear he is gone. I too was a channel changer when he came on. I don’t watch his other show but have seen plenty of clips of his rantings. He makes Glenn Beck look sane.
8:22 pm on August 5th, 2010
wooohoooooooooooo!!!!1
8:24 pm on August 5th, 2010
Politics aside, this guy blows. I never did much care for his antics altough he was decent with Dan in the early years. They did have some decent chemistry.
8:28 pm on August 5th, 2010
“Afterwards, the cast and crew adjourned to Yankee Stadium….”
And threw a mammoth PARTY in celebration!
FIFY
‘righties are stupidly celebrating’?
Hate to rain on your parade. But “righties” really don’t give a rat’s ass about Olberdouche or anything he has to say.
8:29 pm on August 5th, 2010
Olby can now make sure he gets to his bed earlier on Sundays. He hates it when he doesn’t have his own pillow.
8:30 pm on August 5th, 2010
Thank the Lord!!! i cant stand listening to him, always had to change the channel when he started talking
8:31 pm on August 5th, 2010
If by ratings hit you mean half of what his competition is getting then you might be correct. Also, why would appearing on FINA on sunday night affect his friday show?
8:31 pm on August 5th, 2010
LOL at how the righties are stupidly celebrating this. The reason they’re keeping KO on Countdown on Fridays now is that his readings of James Thurber stories on Friday nights are a ratings hit. So this departure from FNIA actually helps improve Countdown’s ratings, AND it will give KO ample opportunities to plus his forthcoming book on Fridays.
In other words, you lose again.
8:34 pm on August 5th, 2010
Well this is good news, now I can watch the show.
I always turned the station when he came on, and waited for his part to end to turn back.
Just could not take his style.
8:34 pm on August 5th, 2010
Thank God…I may be able to watch now. Although the HGH king Harrison and Coach Dungy are pretty boring.
8:36 pm on August 5th, 2010
There is a God !!!
8:42 pm on August 5th, 2010
Thank God! You couldn`t pay me enough money to ever listen to that idiot liberal nutjob!
8:42 pm on August 5th, 2010
Great news, now I can watch the half time show again. He was insufferable to listen to!
8:43 pm on August 5th, 2010
Politics aside….good move….he brought nothing to the show.
8:44 pm on August 5th, 2010
Olberman is the worst loser . I had to change the channel eery single time he was on.
He should take his head out of his ass………
8:44 pm on August 5th, 2010
I can see how the NFL high ratings align with the slide of the country. You NFL fans are so damn dumb. Keep kissing Rush’s picture.
8:45 pm on August 5th, 2010
Reprieve! Reprieve!!
Curfew shall not ring tonight!!
This is welcome past due news, in my opinion.
I already didnt like NBC’s awful Sunday studio show, and when Olby showed up it became impossible to watch. The very sight of him anywhere on-screen makes me change the channel immediately.
Bill Maher-types, who in my view do nothing but hurl invective and negativity into the public forum to the hooting delight of their dwindling audiences.
Goodbye, Olby. You wont be missed, please never come back, and dont let the door hit you in the tuchas on your way out!
8:46 pm on August 5th, 2010
Later, you assiduously pompous effeminate douchebag! SIR!!!
SIR!!!
SIR!!!
What a nut that guy is…
8:47 pm on August 5th, 2010
About f-ing time. Could not stand him and still will never support NBC or any of their advertisers. This is what you get when you alienate a large portion of your viewing audience.
8:47 pm on August 5th, 2010
On Countdown, Who’s the worst sports announcer in the World, its Keith. SEE YA !!!!!!!!!!!!
8:48 pm on August 5th, 2010
Olberwomen SUCKED, ANYWHERE HE IS AT!!I saw him on football and almost PUKED! NEVER DID WATCH IT AGAIN. I thought WHAT D.A. put that TURD on that show. Do they know how many people would like to KICK HIS A$$.
8:49 pm on August 5th, 2010
LOL…I’m a rightie stupidly celebrating the departure of this wingnut from football. I wonder how many liberals would watch Dungy and Brietbart announce games…..WOOHOO!!!
8:49 pm on August 5th, 2010
Bill O’Reilly is laughing so loud I can hear him in Florida
OlberLOSER……….
8:54 pm on August 5th, 2010
I’m glad to see I’m not alone in my contempt for this jack off. He comes off as a condescending, self absorbed, delusional malcontent and those are his good qualities. He acts as he’s so superior to the lowly athletes he covers. RIP, blow job!
8:55 pm on August 5th, 2010
Poor wittle olberdouche - LMAO - what a f-r-i-g-g-i-n LOSER. Bathtub boy is a wussy, a pansy, a douchenozzled freakfest of hate. Now I can safely watch FNIA. I have never once tuned in b/c of this disgusting commie bastard. And trust me, my family and I are huge football fanatics. Good riddance to very bad trash.
9:00 pm on August 5th, 2010
Overbite is an imbecile and a failure
9:00 pm on August 5th, 2010
Great, now that this turd is gone I can start watching the pre-game on Sunday night. NBC should have been embarrased to have Oberturd on last year. Then again, we are talking about NBC.
9:02 pm on August 5th, 2010
Overbite has the lowest ratings in the history of the world. If he quits TV he’ll be the only on ehwo knows he quit. He is a dummy
9:03 pm on August 5th, 2010
Overbite is a buffoon and fat
9:04 pm on August 5th, 2010
overbite is a janitor
9:04 pm on August 5th, 2010
That’s good news. The circus (National Barack Channel ie: NBC) can get its biggest clown back fulltime.
9:11 pm on August 5th, 2010
Don’t forget oralmann saying the CHIX AND WAFFLES racist comment. Now, off to twitter to torture him. Fun for all, eh? Turnabout and all that.
9:16 pm on August 5th, 2010
Olberman is one very nasty creature regradless of his twisted politics! And this decision is a huge blessing towards the prevention of his further abuse of the 1st Ammendment!
9:17 pm on August 5th, 2010
Thank God, he sucked on ESPN and it was great when he got canned. Now he has been canned again!!! There is a God! Hopefully MSNBC will follow!!!! See ya KO…….you’ve been KO’d….LMAO
9:23 pm on August 5th, 2010
Great! Now I can watch FNIA. Could not watch it before with KO and although a huge NFL fan boycotted the Sunday night NBC game because of NBC having him on the show.
9:24 pm on August 5th, 2010
Wow a bunch of wing-nut, conservative, Faux News bigoted drones praising his departure…. What a surprise!!!! The truth is Keith has more class than any of you can even imagine with your hate filled little minds.. Losers
9:30 pm on August 5th, 2010
Great! Now I can watch FNIA. Could not watch it before with KO and although a huge NFL fan boycotted the Sunday night NBC game because of NBC having him on the show.
9:33 pm on August 5th, 2010
Best news I’ve heard all day. KO is a moonbat douche of the highest order.
9:34 pm on August 5th, 2010
Really glad to see them remove him. Just couldn’t watch the games on Sunday. He’s particularly toxic and costs NBC a lot more than his salary.
9:41 pm on August 5th, 2010
Glad to see the commenters. There is hope in America.
9:41 pm on August 5th, 2010
Good riddance. NBC can blow smoke if they want the only one’s buying it are the people that fall head over heals with the idiot. Most of america don’t agree with his stance, so most americans don’t want to watch him
9:44 pm on August 5th, 2010
I would like to know what athletes respect Herr Olberman
9:45 pm on August 5th, 2010
I think a major reason they took him off was that the set was simply too crowded. You had three hosts there, including two basically sharing responsibilities in the studio. I think him missing some editions of his own show was also a minor problem for NBC, and they probably didn’t force him out; I’m willing to bet they politely asked him to leave.
9:46 pm on August 5th, 2010
What athletes respect him?
9:47 pm on August 5th, 2010
You’ll all see when WWF picks me…I mean… him up….What will you say then?
9:47 pm on August 5th, 2010
Why not send Chris Collingsworth with him?
9:48 pm on August 5th, 2010
Olbermann is a racist, bigot, and intolerant of the views of others. Good to see him go.
9:49 pm on August 5th, 2010
When I first saw Olbermann on FNIA, my only thought was “So Olbermann has naked pictures of someone at NBC Sports, too”. Good riddance to someone who never should have been there in the first place.
9:49 pm on August 5th, 2010
That is great news. Now I can watch the half-time show. I had to switch to espn during the half-time. I cannot abide Olbermann who is just one step ahead of the guys with the straight jacket.
9:49 pm on August 5th, 2010
Finally, I can watch Sunday Night Football again.
9:50 pm on August 5th, 2010
Count me as another one of those who would not watch the football program, FNIA, because of Olberman. He is a despicable public figure, one of many. He added nothing to the show whatsoever.
9:50 pm on August 5th, 2010
Thank god! He was an insufferable jerk. I don’t know why NBC let him on a sports show. He hates sports. He hated ESPN. He considered football a pedestrian past-time. But NBC hired him anyway. Ridiculous. It’s good to see him gone.
9:54 pm on August 5th, 2010
NBC finally figured it out. The most miserable person at the network, won’t be doing SNF. And to borrow a phrase, his show is called, “Countdown To No Ratings”. Now, NBC needs to get rid of him for good!
9:57 pm on August 5th, 2010
Good He’s a pin head and now I can watch the Pregame and half time
9:59 pm on August 5th, 2010
Ahhh, what’s the matter wingnut loons?
Can’t handle someone with a differing opinion?
Need to censor them immediately?
Shameful.
Like all of you really know his salary and what he does or doesn’t cost NBC. LOL
10:11 pm on August 5th, 2010
Now I can watch football without switching channels everytime Olbermann was on camera.
10:11 pm on August 5th, 2010
Keith is one of biggest, if not the biggest jerks I’ve encountered on any television program!
His Countdown program is hysterically funny - albeit I’m sure it is not intended to be so. Why does NBC continue to air him on this program? I acutally squirm in listening to him talk - realize however, I rarely watch this program.
10:12 pm on August 5th, 2010
Thank God he got the hook. What will Miss Precious Perfect do now?
10:15 pm on August 5th, 2010
Oh look, a swipe against “wingnut loons” - even using “all of you” inappropriately - the problem with KO on FNIA was - it’s supposed to be FOOTBALL!! If someone wants to listen to his political opinions - or not - they can tune in to his show - or not. That’s because his show is NOT about FOOTBALL!! But go ahead - keep preaching about how ‘we’ can’t ‘handle’ differing opinions. Someone might listen to you … or not!!! Oh, I almost forgot the obligatory - lol. Is that to self-congratulate? Or does it indicate how ‘hip and happening’ one’s remark is? To oneself, perhaps.
10:24 pm on August 5th, 2010
“You’ll all see when WWF picks me…I mean… him up….What will you say then?”
I’d say that’s highly unlikely since WWF or WWE is owned by CT GOP Candidate Linda McMahon and her husband Vince….
They’re more inclined to pick up Dimbaugh.
10:24 pm on August 5th, 2010
There is a GOD. NBC just gained another viewer. I know I’m not the only one.
10:25 pm on August 5th, 2010
Glad he is gone. I love watching Sunday Night Football. but could never stand KO. I would simply walk out of the room during Pre-Game or Halftime if he spoke. He always seemed quite impressed with himself … though for what I do not know. He added nothing worth viewing unless you like listening to narcissistic and condescending rants. I would have barfed if I had to endure his lengthy response (if he was asked) to pontificate and tell us as to why he was so great.
10:29 pm on August 5th, 2010
Well another show that Olbermann which has canned this idiot.
Luckily for Olbermann, complete and utter failure is a resume requirement and enhancement for America’s morons, liberals.
The bigger the disaster the more these loser will just LOVE him.
10:29 pm on August 5th, 2010
No political mention here, I just thought he was horrible the two times I watched him on FNIA. Couldn’t take him any more than that.
10:30 pm on August 5th, 2010
Apparently NFL TV ratings are immune to anything except Queef Olbermann. How bad to you have to be to have a negative impact on a program which would otherwise destroy the competition. The NFL has been ratings king for a generation, except apparently, when Queef Olbernann is on board.
10:31 pm on August 5th, 2010
I liked him. DP will be great solo.
10:31 pm on August 5th, 2010
I’m sad to see him go. I love his nightly show and his passion for sports. He is a great sports guy and I will continue to support him in any capacity.
10:37 pm on August 5th, 2010
Small minded politic zealots, yes , you conservatives are so Happy…
But lets face it he is a very good sportscaster, but because those of you are so narrow minded..You have to lump his political views into his sportscasting ability..
Seems like a weird way to live your life ,but if that makes you happy..to each your own!
10:48 pm on August 5th, 2010
If FNIA announced they were bringing on Glen Prick you all would draw wood.
10:49 pm on August 5th, 2010
As a football fan *condescending asshole* is not what I’m looking for in an analyst, but that’s just me.
Better fill up the tub!
10:51 pm on August 5th, 2010
With Olberman bye-bye. does that leave about 8 or so talking heads that fill NBC air time for their advertisers to annoy us with info we already know as footbal fans when all we want as fans is just get to the damn game coming on that NBC has rights.
10:58 pm on August 5th, 2010
Yea jD, he’s a great sportscaster! Thats why he got canned from two L.A. T.V. stations, ESPN, and now Sunday Night Football! He’s awesome!
11:00 pm on August 5th, 2010
Even those at MSNBC hated his guts. Especially Tingles.
I can remember about 10 years ago he had on a porn star, I think either Mary Carey or maybe it was Marylin Chambers. I know she was blond. Anyway, the dude was making the moves on her right on the air. Literraly. She shot him down. It was creepy. You could feel even the porn star was creeped out.
Good night and good luck to the worstest person in the world.
11:00 pm on August 5th, 2010
He’s a partisan PoS. Thank G_d he finally got the boot….Sunday Night Football has been saved from this slimeball.
11:01 pm on August 5th, 2010
And he’s the first PoS to go….November is coming around and a whole lot of liberal losers are headed for the exits. Choke on it…
11:01 pm on August 5th, 2010
Wow! My son and I can watch Sunday night football again! Hooray, hooray, hooray
11:08 pm on August 5th, 2010
Liberalism is a mental disorder, and that explains the puke that’s always foaming out of the mouth of Keith Dumba@@man. I couldn’t believe that NBC risked alienating millions of patriotic Americans (90+ % of football fans) from day one. It’s refreshing to know that I was one of millions who switched the channel whenever that pompous, sourpuss-face of a clown made an appearance. That clown always look like, he’s having a tough time on the toilet. What a douche!
11:09 pm on August 5th, 2010
It is George Bush’s fault—-
11:13 pm on August 5th, 2010
I forgot to add in my first post: Perhaps he can become David Letterman’s sidekick, for they are both “Bitter Old Men” with committment issues towards women~~~
11:14 pm on August 5th, 2010
Interesting comments about Mr. Keith. I’m very curious as to how you come to your conclusion about him or anyone with a political view differnet then yours. Better yet, please describe to me your definition of a “Liberal” or “Conservative..” Your anger is unjustified, in my humble opinion, considering all the problems we have in our country…our world. Best of luck in your own little universe. Shouldn’t we work together?

THANK YOU GOD!
This is the best news all summer.
11:18 pm on August 5th, 2010
Another piece of xcrmnt out!!!!!!!
11:19 pm on August 5th, 2010
What a heartbreaker !!! NBC does a terrible job broadcasting NFL football.A far cry from the glory days of the AFL and Charlie Jones.
11:29 pm on August 5th, 2010
Olbermaniac - good by and good riddance. A royal pain in the ass if ever there was one. I don’t watch his crap show except for an occasional chuckle and I don’t want to see his bespectacled stupid grill on FNIA. Costas is a insufferable boring windbag waste of time as well - clean house!
11:33 pm on August 5th, 2010
Filthy conservatives: Take your head out of Limbaugh’s fat butt and look at your lives. You’re nothing but minimum wage losers with ugly wives, crackhead whore daughters, and glue-sniffing sons.

“Even those at MSNBC hated his guts. Especially Tingles.
I can remember about 10 years ago he had on a porn star, I think either Mary Carey or maybe it was Marylin Chambers. I know she was blond. Anyway, the dude was making the moves on her right on the air. Literraly. She shot him down. It was creepy. You could feel even the porn star was creeped out.
Good night and good luck to the worstest person in the world.”
Knothead
Knothead, you’re confused.
That was Jena Jamison on with Bill O’Reilly.
Jeez, get your story right.
I am so sick of these nazi wingnut loons, it’s their way or the highway.
11:37 pm on August 5th, 2010
Rumor has it, rachel Maddow is going to replace him! …………………… Just kidding!!!!!
11:44 pm on August 5th, 2010
It was a move that NBC had to make. Media critics for the past two years have said that there is too many people on the FNIA set and all of them can get equal face time. With Olbermann sticking to his show, FNIA will be more manageable to watch without a crowded set.
Moving Collinsworth to the booth after Madden’s retirement was a good move and a necessary one. The problem is that no show can have three hosts, though Costas is considered as the “main” host.
Costas should be the host, with DP doing the highlights, Dungy and Harrison handling game analysis and breakdown. Four guys in the studio is enough.
11:45 pm on August 5th, 2010
People - keep in mind when you see a post defending Olbermaniac that it is Olbermaniac under a fake handle responding to Keithsmack. Dude is so head over heels in love with himself he sometimes tries to stick his tongue down his own throat. Well, I think that’s his entire Countdown show isn’t it?
11:45 pm on August 5th, 2010
The right-wingers claim that Olbermann is trash an they don’t give him the time of day yet they manage to respond in numbers to any news item concerning him….odd.
You would think that someone the wingers despise that much would be ignored by them. Apparently, self-discipline is not a weapon in their arsenal.

NewsBusters: Keith Olbermann Out At Sunday Night Football
http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppard/2010/08/05/keith-olbermann-out-sunday-night-football
11:54 pm on August 5th, 2010
O’Reily has his issues with woman too. I saw the Jameson interview and that was nothing.
I think it was Mary Carey after doing some googling. Still not 100% sure though.
This site possibly disscusses what I am saying……… olbermannwatch.com/archives/2007/03/why_is_keith_ol
Still not 100% sure though.
11:57 pm on August 5th, 2010
You know that rat bastard is reading these comments. Hey queef, when you get fired by MSNBC, that will be 4 networks you’ve been fired from.
What do?
12:02 am on August 6th, 2010
So I can finally start watching on Sunday night again.
Evil Roy, Apparently with your own inability to ignore the right wing which you so evidently despise, do not have self-discipline in your own arsenal. Hoisted on your own petard.
12:06 am on August 6th, 2010
I too would not watch the pregame or halftime
show because of you know who. I often wondered how
a class guy like Tony Dungy could even be in the same
room with the KO.
The most aggregious think NBC ever did with him was
have him eulogize a great guy like Tim Russert. It made me sick. As if KO could even recongnize
objective reporting or any kind of balance. It had to be an embarrasment for Russert’s Family.
Good riddance Keith! Good riddance to most of what’s wrong with liberalism.
12:20 am on August 6th, 2010
“”
LMFAO!… sure you don’t… the truth hurts to you.
Olbermann’s shtick is batchit crazy politics… and that’s why he’s not liked.. and why he’s NOT wanted in football entertainment.
He would still have the gig if he was “liked”.
I say he should go to his room and stay there.
12:21 am on August 6th, 2010
“” = “I don’t think this has anything to do with his politics”
12:27 am on August 6th, 2010
Football Night in America (aka The Most Pretentious Night in America) is watchable again.
12:37 am on August 6th, 2010
Finally.
12:44 am on August 6th, 2010
I never watched becuase of him and most of my buddys at work felt the same way. He hates Fox news because they out rate him and he wil stop short of nothing, even lying to try to undercut them. It never really work though, did it Keithy boy.
12:57 am on August 6th, 2010
So you think 90% of NFL viewers are right wing nutjobs like yourselves, huh? I love it when conservatives CONTINUE to pretend minorities don’t count… That, more than anything else, is why you can’t get black and Latin votes.
K.O., unlike your “leader” Rush Limbaugh, never used his liberal agenda to praise or support an athlete during the broadcast. Never claimed “people don’t like Vick because he’s black” or “People only think Roethlisberger’s good because he’s white.” He kept this show separate from The Countdown. Just remember that when you get tempted to compare the situations.
1:00 am on August 6th, 2010
CAN NOT STAND THE GUY BEST THING IVE HEARD ABOUT THE UP COMING FOOTBALL SEASON. NOW IM READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL.
1:04 am on August 6th, 2010
who is olbermann?
1:08 am on August 6th, 2010
If anyone believes this is not because of this jerk’s idiot and narrow minded views; plus, his patented jeolousy of Fox and everyone that beats him in the ratings (which is everyone) than they are dumber than this guy. Besides being a liar…making people believe he went to Yale (University) when he really went to Yale College, wherever the hell that is, he really does not know a allot about sports once you take away the smart-assed wise-cracks. Bye, Bye= A-Hole, now I can turn up the volume in the show.
1:19 am on August 6th, 2010
LOL at the people on here. You realize a majority of the NFL is a liberal league and they all hate you, right?
1:25 am on August 6th, 2010
I heard that he landed the Butthead role in the new Beavis and Butthead show.
1:58 am on August 6th, 2010
He comments like the strange kid in 7th Grade that ended up working the computer in the Sanitation Department. Seemed a bit smart at the time, but you knew not to hang with the nut.
2:01 am on August 6th, 2010
I’ve missed the starts of games because Olderdouche was on the pre-game - nobody I know wanted to SUFFER through this pompus windbag and we’d change the channel.
I know NBC’s ratings for pregame will go up. Olby’s GONE! LOL!!
By the way - the NFL ISN’T a liberal league - the players coaches and owners MAKE TOO MUCH MONEY - LIBERALS hate successful people!
2:02 am on August 6th, 2010
I’ll admit, I refused to watch to watch it because of Keith and his politics.
2:04 am on August 6th, 2010
Texas Proud - Hook ‘Em! Olberdouche went to Cornell, but not the Ivy League part of Cornell. A buddy of mine at work is a Cornell grad and he explained it to me. Cornell is a New York’s land grant college and part of it is Ivy and part is NOT considered Ivy - like three of the colleges. Anyway he’s REALLY sensative about it. Ann Coulter did a report on it - google Ann Coulter - Olbermann - Cornell and it should pop up.
2:07 am on August 6th, 2010
I always said that I will never watch NBC Sunday Night Football until Olbermann is pulled from the show or dead. Now, I can watch football on Sunday Night. Thanks NBC.
2:18 am on August 6th, 2010
I never cared for Olberman being on Sunday Night Football, but thank god that liberal piece of sh** is gone. for all you liberals - it is you that are anti-american / selfish / race baiters (see Jesse Jackson & Al Sharpton) & I would like to add terrorist sympathizers / socialists / un-patriotic. remember - it is liberals who are as dangerous to our country like their allies the terrorists.
2:25 am on August 6th, 2010
“Indeed, Keith is constantly lying about his nonexistent “Ivy League” education, boasting to Playboy magazine, for example: “My Ivy League education taught me how to cut corners, skim books and take an idea and write 15 pages on it, and also how to work all day at the Cornell radio station and never actually go to class.”
Except Keith didn’t go to the Ivy League Cornell; he went to the Old MacDonald Cornell.
The real Cornell, the School of Arts and Sciences (average SAT: 1,325; acceptance rate: 1 in 6 applicants), is the only Ivy League school at Cornell and the only one that grants a Bachelor of Arts degree.
Keith went to an affiliated state college at Cornell, the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (average SAT: about that of pulling guards at the University of South Carolina; acceptance rate: 1 of every 1 applicants).
Olbermann’s incessant lying about having an “Ivy League education” when he went to the non-Ivy League ag school at Cornell would be like a graduate of the Yale locksmithing school boasting about being a “Yale man.”
2:37 am on August 6th, 2010
I can tell this is a FOXsports message board from all the neanderthal inbred white-trash conservatives running their 2-toothed mouths. Keith Olbermann is an insightful and intelligent commentator with a robust sense of humor. He’s a great and talented American who wears his heart on his sleeve. I find him to be greatly entertaining and inspiring. I also appreciate that he at least bases his opinions on facts, instead of just making them up like they do over at Fox. I do, however, can see how he is a polarizing figure. And therefore, though I enjoy him, maybe it’s best for him to concentrate on his true talent: Calling out the Nazi Conservative KKK loving douchebag Republicans and their cousin-fucking Tea Party cronies.
2:38 am on August 6th, 2010
Oh Good ! Maybe with him gone, I’ll watch the show this season.
2:44 am on August 6th, 2010
Olberman is just a dim-bulb. Costas is worse, a pretentious little prick who likes to pose as a sports historian and expert, when in fact he’s shallow and his opinions are facile and cliched. Just like 99.9% of sportscasters. When will people stop deifying these guys?
3:54 am on August 6th, 2010
Keith still has a show?….on TV?…..Wow, didn’t realize…. he he.
Actually, he (and the show) was just awful. I always looked online to see when the actual kickoff time was so I could miss the Studio Show…Halftime, I went over to either ESPN or the NFL Network for analysis. Keith wasn’t too bad when he first started with ESPN, but quickly got worse. He was unwatchable by the end of his time there, and has never gotten any better…And for those of you that comment about his “policital” show…I have many better things to do/watch at that time…lol
3:55 am on August 6th, 2010
Olberman was great, and Patrick loved being reunited with his old ESPN buddy. In the end it was just too many guys. Dungy needs to go more than any other person there.. He couldn’t be more boring, predictable, or obvious.
3:58 am on August 6th, 2010
It is funny that MSNBC has built its entire weeknight schedule around this joke of a man. They built their entire schedule around a man that gets 1/5 the ratings of his direct rival at FOX - O’Reilly.
The entire MSNBC cable channel should be shut down and sold to the highest bidder. If NBC were a real business, the plug would have been pulled on MSNBC years ago.
4:35 am on August 6th, 2010
Olbermann is typical leftist Obama-scum. Human trash.
4:36 am on August 6th, 2010
If Olbermann’s face is on the screen, my thumb is on the remote. I will not watch that man, under any circumstances. I know many people who feel the same way.
I can ditch his segments, miss a lot of commercials, and not miss a bit of the action. NBC is doing me a favor by having this clown on.
4:39 am on August 6th, 2010
it’s George Bush’s fault.
4:48 am on August 6th, 2010
Finally! Politics has no place in sports. It’s one of the reasons I love watching sports, especially football.
Olbermann constantly interjected his politics into his sports commentary. I’d always switch channels when I saw his face.
4:48 am on August 6th, 2010
this is a rare good sign and with another 10-20 like it, I might bring my 40 year resume of exceptional loyalty to football back to the People’s network.
5:03 am on August 6th, 2010
This guy was a menace to educated, cultured society. A sports commentator-turned “political analyst” with the emphasis on “anal.” Got what he deserved…fired.
5:09 am on August 6th, 2010
Brandon,
Why don’t you go back to your Union meeting and vote to strike on something, for any reason whatsoever? Because you clearly have no business dabbling in reality.
5:16 am on August 6th, 2010
I couldnt even mute, I had to always change the channel because looking at his smug expression made me sick. Eventually I just stopped watching football on Sunday night. This is great news!
5:33 am on August 6th, 2010
Don’t let the door hit you in your fat ass on the way out . . . . . douche bag.
5:35 am on August 6th, 2010
Long over due - clown had no business ruining my football games.
5:38 am on August 6th, 2010
As much as I hate Olbermann, I have to credit him for never once mentioning politics on FNIA. Rush got in trouble by making a political speech on what was a sports show. That said, I will now probably watch FNIA more often now because Olbermann is not there. I suspect this is the real reason he was removed from the show. His political toxicity, an advantage when all you want to do is to garner a respectable but distant second place on a basic cable news network, was most likely a handicap on the network sports program. Too many people hated him and simply would not accept him in any form, even hosting an apolitical sports program.
5:44 am on August 6th, 2010
This is a good idea. This a**hole has spent an hour a day, 5 days a week, calling over half the country “racist” for one reason or another. The man slandered millions of people on a daily basis. So because he is gone, I will now watch their broadcast again. Smart move by hte folks running FNIA.
6:00 am on August 6th, 2010
Espn, fired. Fox sports, fired. MSNBC Prez Election coverage, fired (D. Gregory took over). Loony left people that watch MSNBC and the employees are too stupid to remove Olby, must like being on the bottom in ratings….
With Olberclown gone I can finally watch shows surrounding the game.
6:02 am on August 6th, 2010
Olbermann’s an adiot and because of his tow the line politics I’m glad the right decision was made to dump this turd!
6:05 am on August 6th, 2010
This just shows why the networks are going down the drain, what NBC genius decided that what NFL fans want to see is a far-left, raving lunatic?
The democgraphics aren’t even slightly there. NFL fans are far more likely to be conservative than the average population and the last thing we want to be reminded of when we’re watching football is a far left, raving lunatic like Keith.
6:10 am on August 6th, 2010
The suits at ESPN are a bit disappointed in this news.
Most people I know would watch their Sunday wrap up show then change the channel to watch the NBC game. I was one of them people as “Ivy League Keith” was unwatchable.
6:10 am on August 6th, 2010
Olbermann is a mean, nasty individual. He has no place broadcasting sports or anything else. If you’re a “reporter” you’re supposed to be unbiased. He’s such a commie it isn’t even funny, it’s scary!
6:14 am on August 6th, 2010
Great, now if Patrick could just ask a question he did not know the answer to. What a dweeb.
Costas another lib, the best was the nite they did the show in “green” lights off that was the best. Need mor of that maybe they will just pull the plug on whole show that would save a lot of energy. That crew can take great high lights and dumb’em down so bad
6:19 am on August 6th, 2010
Finally, I wonder if he still has the email I sent a long time ago, which stated “if keith were the intern in the Oval Office, there would not have been any DNA evidence”. If you get my drift.
6:26 am on August 6th, 2010
I can now watch Sunday night football again…..adios Olberdoucheman!
6:29 am on August 6th, 2010
I never realized until reading these posts that I was not alone in my opinion of K.O. I, like many others, will not be switching the channel anymore since his mugg will not be there! Fantastic
6:43 am on August 6th, 2010
Thank goodness!!
His speech has become so hateful, I couldn’t stand to hear his voice ruin football.
Three cheers for NBC!!
6:47 am on August 6th, 2010
I’m sure the staff of the Sunday show will throw a party as Keith’s famous for treating people like garbage. Now I won’t have to change the channel whenever Lurch comes on.
6:51 am on August 6th, 2010
With Olbermann gone who will blame Bush for all the bad calls in the NFL this season on Sunday night?
7:02 am on August 6th, 2010
He is truly the biggest horses-backside on TV. I have refused to watch his Sunday night football pre-game portion. His idiotic opinions from MSNBC cannot be overlooked. I bet Chris Collingsworth won’t miss him, ever notice how Chris stares at him like he’s an idiot?
7:03 am on August 6th, 2010
I would avoid all pregame and halftime commentary on Sun nights solely because of this moron. Olbermann caused many fb fans to do the same. Not only do I not agree with him politically, but he doesn’t even support his liberal slants with facts. He just rambles on with useless analogies and a pathetic tone. Adios.
7:11 am on August 6th, 2010
Olbermann should have stuck to sports reporting - he and Patrick were great on ESPN. Too bad he’s become such a panderer.
7:11 am on August 6th, 2010
Well, look at that! All three members of Olbermann’s MSNBC viewing audience have turned up here to comment. Thank you for your insightful comments regarding this ego-in-a-Brooks-Brothers-suit.
7:11 am on August 6th, 2010
He is the biggest dick in sports. Why does anyone need politics in football. Especially a pussy like him. Thank you NBC for removing this Leftist Democrat from FOOTBALL!
7:16 am on August 6th, 2010
I am glad KO is gone. He always struck me as a pompous windbag who thought everything he said was funny or worthwhile. Bob Costas is the same way. Except he thinks everything he says is so philospohical
and intellectual. Never liked KO BEFORE I knew his politics. The other sad part is, we have become so bigotted as a country. We are so quick to give our politics first and then judge others in whatever they do by their politics rather than their job.I never liked KO and his politics was just a footnote.He like many in broadcasting take themselves too seriously.
7:20 am on August 6th, 2010
Another NBC executive decision. Maybe Leno can replace Keith.
Wait bring back Team Coco! Have Conan replace Oberman for half the season. Midstream, plug-in Leno and watch the fun as we miss all the games and listen to and read about NBC’s boneheaded moves … again
7:25 am on August 6th, 2010
OK now I can watch…
7:25 am on August 6th, 2010
I’m with Gloria Steinberg: Hate his MSNBC personality and disgusted with his politics… but I liked him on FNIA, disappointed he won’t be back.
7:34 am on August 6th, 2010
Sweet, I can watch Sunday Night Football again! Uberloser was too much to take. Way to go NBC!
7:35 am on August 6th, 2010
keiths tenure at FNIA has been “very troubling” and he should “end his career with dignity.”
7:39 am on August 6th, 2010
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
7:51 am on August 6th, 2010
Thank God he is gone. He’s a loser. I turned off the broadcast whenever his I saw his face. He is an A1 scum bag.
8:02 am on August 6th, 2010
To tryptc @ 7:26 pm on August 5th, 2010
Amen Brother - Olbermann has always been a loser
8:02 am on August 6th, 2010
Good. now I may actually watch the show again. I absolutely refused to watch one second of it at all when that ass-bag was on.
8:07 am on August 6th, 2010
democrats rule! fox is the worst! the party of no will pay,just watch. bush lost all the jobs,no healthcare,2 wars.
8:10 am on August 6th, 2010
to Tom 2:38 am on August 6th, 2010
Keith is that you? Why not just use your real name?
8:13 am on August 6th, 2010
I’m glad that the feather-headed-fool is off the NFL broadcasts. He just didn’t fit in with the men on that show just like he didn’t fit in with the men on ESPN. He’s much better suited for MsNBC and the lapdog lefty pencil necks that are the regular guests on his unwatchable hate-filled show.
8:13 am on August 6th, 2010
To ed 8:07 am on August 6th, 2010
eddie, eddie , eddie…wake up and smell the coffe man - things were going good until the Dems won control of congress and then it all wne in the toilet when folks like you thought it would be great to elect a do nothing, empty suit to the white house.
8:16 am on August 6th, 2010
Wow! Must be a lot of republican’ts here who are unemployed. It’s hilarious reading their many, many comments here about what a hack they think Keith is yet they all watch that buffon Glenda Beck and listen to that fat, pompous, no talent windbag Lush Rimbaugh. Too funny!
8:23 am on August 6th, 2010
Thank God. I don’t know about anyone else but this pretentious prick always rubbed me the wrong way. It was as if someone else wrote his lines and then he went through them with a thesaurus. Every word was then replaced with the longest possible option. “I’m so smart, it is impossible for me to utter a word with less than 4 syllables in it.” ~said with smug/punch-me-in-the-face smile
8:27 am on August 6th, 2010
Robert Oppenhiemer, father of the atomic bomb said” I have become the destroyer of worlds”
Blow Job Olberman, after single handedly taking MSNBC and FBNIA ratings into the shitter said” I have become the destroyer of networks”.
Actually, we all know he will never take responsibility for his own failures, so he will never say that. He will blame his failure on a right wing conspiracy.
8:32 am on August 6th, 2010
YEA! I’ve found NBC Football Night impossible to watch as it was all about the egos of the “talent”. Maybe I’ll try watching again, but Costas and Patrick will have to go, too, before I’m sure to come back as a viewer. Those 3 guys made it an impossible show for me to watch, so I didn’t. Remember, there’s still radio.
8:50 am on August 6th, 2010
thank God olberbutt is gone. Maybe now I can actually enjoy watching football again on Sunday night. Now, if only MSNBC will dump him also. I mean, really, they only have 50 nightly viewers anyway. Don’t know how the bills are being paid unless Soros is helping.
8:53 am on August 6th, 2010
Uh oh. Will they bring a manly man in to replace the girlish Keith? Who shall it be? Kagan is busy at the supreme court. Rachel has her own comedy show gig on MSNBC. Hmmmmmmmmmm. Maybe Mrs. Doubtfire, Hillary can free up some time and join the guys on Sunday night.
9:17 am on August 6th, 2010
Keithy… I don’t think these people like you!!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
9:29 am on August 6th, 2010
200+ comments. Hilarious.
9:32 am on August 6th, 2010
I turned off NBC at halftime every week and sent in an email to complain that NBC was alienating a significant portion of their audience. At that point I realized shy Rush had to go from ESPN several years ago, not because of anything he said, but just because he was such a polarizing figure. It’s just dumb for any network to needlessly piss off a large segment - as Michael Jordan said, Republicans by sneakers too.
9:40 am on August 6th, 2010
Well maybe I’ll start watching Sunday night football again. I loathe this weasel and have refused to watch anything he was associated with.
9:42 am on August 6th, 2010
Good riddance. Maybe NBC has finally seen the light. Hopefully they will take keith and chris off their “news” coverage on election nights. We don’t see Hannity or Beck on their news coverage during elections
9:42 am on August 6th, 2010
That would be “why Rush had to go” - there’s obviously no such thing as “shy Rush”
9:43 am on August 6th, 2010
What is with Patrick always having to have Oberman? When Patrick did ESPN Radio out here. He did the last hour with him. Obermann is the first one at any party to put the lampshade on 1st then DP Glad Obie is gone and I waish DP was too
9:57 am on August 6th, 2010
I never watched FNIA, but I would have if I’d known Keith and Dan were reunited there. They were the best co-anchors ESPN ever had.
10:01 am on August 6th, 2010
KO is a DOUCHE!!!!!!
Good riddance!
10:03 am on August 6th, 2010
Still not watching NBC…He’s still there!!!
10:13 am on August 6th, 2010
Loved Olberman on ESPN when I had no clue about his political affiliations…..now I can’t stand him due to the fact that I believe he is an elitist with an agenda.
10:16 am on August 6th, 2010
I am impressed that there are 214 comments on SBB on KO’s departure from FNIA. It shouldn’t matter if you are a liberal or conservative, it should only matter that you are a football fan. If you are driven by politics, please take your postings to a political website. I will miss the repartee between Dan Patrick and KO. As a fan of old-time ESPN, this twosome had a very relevant approach to sportscasting and a unique approach to halftime highlights. Best to future FNIA broadcasts and to KO.
10:32 am on August 6th, 2010
Olbermann is a gutless coward and the biggest hack in the history of television.
10:51 am on August 6th, 2010
Trust me… this was the result of NBC losing viewers. MSNBC is dying and NBC Sports did not need another dead weight. Smart move.
10:57 am on August 6th, 2010
Good riddance. The guy is the worst and I am sure his socialist/communist leaning politics were too much even for NBC.
Now they need to can his other show. I can bear about 2 minutes before vomiting. He has no substance. All he does is wine about Glenn Beck. You may not like Beck but he has brains. Overbite stinks. SEE YA!
11:02 am on August 6th, 2010
Keffums is a bag of dicks.
Good riddance to bad, stinking rubbish.
Release the Killer Bunny!!!!
11:04 am on August 6th, 2010
less of this blowhard the better. maybe now he can get his nose out of dp’s ass.
11:07 am on August 6th, 2010
Pro football is the lamest, sorriest excuse for sport we have. That’s something, because most pro sports are nothing but scams whose only goal is to keep sheeple like most of the stupid commentators here wallowing in their own knuckle-dragging ignorance while pulling fistfulls of money out of their pockets. Olbermann has become a bore, he and the pro football audience deserved each other. NBC Sports is getting down to the useless audience they so well deserve and it has nothing to do with Olbermann.
11:16 am on August 6th, 2010
I heard his replacement will be Bill Maher
11:27 am on August 6th, 2010
Great! Now I can watch SNF again. This ego maniac ruined it for me.

Maybe FNIA wanted to replace Olbermann with someone a tad more intelligent . . . like Snooki.
11:52 am on August 6th, 2010
Hopefully, Peter “Pumpkinhead” King is next. His namedropping and unrestrained manlove for Favre is intolerable. Dumping Olbermann is a beautiful move, NBC, but don’t stop, you’re on a roll!
12:04 pm on August 6th, 2010
It’s a shame that Keith was removed. It seems that the reich-wing extremists who are totally out of touch with normal Americans hate hearing the truth. When Keith speaks the truth to power, the conservatives go scurrying like cockroaches when a light is turned on.
Conservatism (the mental disease) cannot co-exist with Truth.
12:13 pm on August 6th, 2010
My message to all of you Republican, Democrat-hating, Palin-loving conservstives, go to hell. Why put politics into everything. You guys hate Keith because he tells it like it is. Keith is the “best”.
12:19 pm on August 6th, 2010
THE WORST SPORTS MAN IS GONE. NOW I CAN BE
BACK. . BYE BATHTUB BOY
12:40 pm on August 6th, 2010
That man has the fattest ass I ever saw…..I expect he got beat up a lot as a kid at school and was an ass with his complete baseball card collection
12:44 pm on August 6th, 2010
I couldn’t give two rips about your politics….truly. I just get sick and tired of those such as Olbermann who were so bitter, biased and vitriolic in everything he said. good riddance.
12:52 pm on August 6th, 2010
It’s amazing to see the closed minds on this board. Having a political viewpoint is not acceptable in American sports?
Childish and pathetic!
1:02 pm on August 6th, 2010
wow this is as bad as when Alfred Dreyfus was framed and sent to Devil’s Island for ten years before he was cleared.
Terrible.
1:09 pm on August 6th, 2010
Obermann is without a doubt one of the most partisan commentators in media. I know many people who refused to watch FINA because of him. Fine if you watch MSNBC but not the NFL.
I thought he was fine on FINA, but NBC has way to many people on the show already and KO brings no special insight or experience. Anybody can do the game highlights.
1:12 pm on August 6th, 2010
“Why put politics into everything[?] ”
Because Keith did, numbnuts. And a whole load of other media types working anti-Bush diatribe into completely unrelated movie reviews, automobile reviews, and sports events to name just a few.
1:13 pm on August 6th, 2010
Well it’s about time! I got so tired of listening to Olbermarx’s innane, simplistic comments that I would turn the channel. Perhaps MSNBC will be smart enough to remove him also……
1:14 pm on August 6th, 2010
Olberman is a complete clown Dbag. Go live with Chavez
1:25 pm on August 6th, 2010
The program may now be viewable sans Olberdouche. Anyone that cannot see how over the top obnoxious that asshat is has to be full of crap.
1:53 pm on August 6th, 2010
Great. Like others, I refused to watch FNIA because he was on. Now I’ll start watching.
3:00 pm on August 6th, 2010
It would be nice if sports can just be sports. We watch football n’ other sports for entertainment, and as a getaway from things like politics.
I’ll be glad when all sports broadcasters are apolitical - that includes Al Michaels, Rush Limbaugh and Olbermann.
3:12 pm on August 6th, 2010
Um, I am really kind of sorry to see him go.
Unlike most he was at least interesting.
3:29 pm on August 6th, 2010
My question is WHAT TOOK SO LONG!
The guy is a liberal hack that knows nothing about football, all he did was blow Kostas!
3:39 pm on August 6th, 2010
Rush apologists/Republitards -
the bigotry, douchebaggery, f*&%kstickery of your uneducated (college dropout like glenn beck) drug-abusing spokesperson renders your arguments invalid.
4:03 pm on August 6th, 2010
The RWRR (right wing racist Republicans) are thrilled. Good for them. Let them idolize George W, for the love of God. KO and Dan Patrick were good together, so it is too bad. How about another tax cut??
4:26 pm on August 6th, 2010
Thank God!
4:57 pm on August 6th, 2010
Olbermann was good 15 years ago when he just did sports. Now, he’s one of many talking head political windbags that have a self-important show where they scream about shit.
Put him, Anderson Cooper, Wolf Blitzer, John King USA, Sean Hannity, Bill O’Reilly and any other douche I missed on a planet of Predators and watch them get hunted.
5:33 pm on August 6th, 2010
We’ve had maybe 5 SNF watch parties over the last year. During both the pregame and halftime we’d ask the crowd if they wanted to listen or kill the sound, and *without exception* the response was always to the effect of “Kill it–we hate that stupid shit Olberman.”
So…great decision by NBC, even if awfully late!
And Keefums, since we know you read comments about you: Hope you’re starting to understand what a clueless craptard you are.
5:46 pm on August 6th, 2010
with olbermann and jerome bettis it was like pulling teeth. as you know bettis lasted a year.he was terrible and then they got rid of the stalker. lobo should have put out an order of protection on him.thats creppy when someone watches everything you do.and follows your phone calls, that would have been great to see big shot get cut down a few notches. he dates girls that he has no business dateing and when the girl finds out hes an a-hole they run the other way.he’s been all over the rumor dept. with his disasters with women.
5:49 pm on August 6th, 2010
its well know that olbermann is hated by the staff he works with.but since this douche doesn’t have any morals, he doesnt care.glad they got rid of him.one less idiot on t.v.
5:53 pm on August 6th, 2010
could we do something about stu scott? his brown noseing has been taken to a new level.the way he went on the air defending lebron was over the line.the sports reporters of today want to hang with the pro’s and act like them and when its time to ask the tough question they never deliver.scott dresses like a pimp, with a big gold and diamond watch ear rings and i just dont want my info told to me from a wanna be pimp.check him out the next time hes on t.v.
6:48 pm on August 6th, 2010
“I can tell this is a FOXsports message board from all the neanderthal inbred white-trash conservatives running their 2-toothed mouths. Keith Olbermann is an insightful and intelligent commentator with a robust sense of humor. He’s a great and talented American who wears his heart on his sleeve. I find him to be greatly entertaining and inspiring. I also appreciate that he at least bases his opinions on facts, instead of just making them up like they do over at Fox. I do, however, can see how he is a polarizing figure. And therefore, though I enjoy him, maybe it’s best for him to concentrate on his true talent: Calling out the Nazi Conservative KKK loving douchebag Republicans and their cousin-fucking Tea Party cronies.”
I think Olberman just showed up.
7:45 pm on August 6th, 2010
If you don’t watch football because of the announcers then you aren’t a football fan. If you’re posting because you don’t like Olberman it’s because you don’t like hearing a liberals side of the world. Ignore it, I sure as heck ignore Fox. Except for the football.
8:00 pm on August 6th, 2010
He is unhinged, needs meds for psychosis or somethin. He is truly loco. I don’t watch anything with him cause he might jump out of my set and kill me.
8:51 pm on August 6th, 2010
Uh, look, I don’t mean to go off topic, but does anyone notice how the majority of the “pro-Keith” comments bring up Rush and/or Fox News? It’s literally like this on every blog out there: Keith Olbermann gets called out for being a liar/jerk and some far left loser just has to point out that he’s not as bad as Rush and company. Because everyone who dislikes Keith Olbermann is a right-wing jerkoff, right?
If you’re gonna troll at least be original about it.
With that said I’m glad “Chicken and Waffles” Olbermann is gone. Funny how none of those Olbermann fans brought up that piece of hypocrisy.
9:30 pm on August 6th, 2010
Best news ever!
10:23 pm on August 6th, 2010
keeping away from personal:
People don’t like public discussions of politics or religion.
Keith has tried to make a name for himself inserting himself into political opinion statements over the past few years. And that polarizes people as to THEIR opinion of him.
Sports broadcasters need to appeal to a very wide audience.
Not a negative or slight against Keith, but it’s simply a reality that while he is a good broadcaster, he is so TAINTED with the path he chose, he is unappealing to a portion of the audience, and they don’t want to hear him on NFL broadcasts anymore.
I remember that he was so enraged about some political thing, and he brought it up on a sports broadcast… I was just thinking, “please, can we get back to the game?”. Maybe it caught up with him.
10:33 pm on August 6th, 2010
Now just get rid of Costas - he is just as a liberal nut job that imparts his political views into his sports coverage.
I watch sports to escape the real world - I don’t want to hear any political talk when I am watching sports and Olberman and Costas can not help themselves.
10:46 pm on August 6th, 2010
“If you don’t watch football because of the announcers then you aren’t a football fan. If you’re posting because you don’t like Olberman it’s because you don’t like hearing a liberals side of the world. Ignore it, I sure as heck ignore Fox. Except for the football.”
————————————————————-
It’s a matter of principle. OK, or don’t you get it. The guy believes you are in need of institutionalization of perhaps getting stoned to death if you don’t agree with him. Pretty much how liberals think. With this kind of vitriole, why honor him with a paycheck.
I dont’ like MSNBC mainly because of this nutcase and others like him that have infested that network. Anything that comes on that network runs the risk of suffering the same ratings its crazy hosts do. Plain and simple. It’s called a free market. And they are loosing. Which is why they would love to shut down Fox, the Internet, and others with an alternative way of presenting information and talking to people.
Liberals would like nothing more than to shut down the idea you can actually come online, on SbB and disagree with this man’s views.
You claim to be a liberal that ignores Fox programming except sports. What you don’t understand is that in the world of liberals, you would not have alternative options available but you are too stupid to understand that basic premise.
12:17 am on August 7th, 2010
Never liked him when he was in LA(KCOP 13 I believe), and didn’t like him at ESPN. not that it’ll make me want to watch the halftime and pre-game stuff, but, I never cared for him analysis or style of presentation.
3:43 am on August 7th, 2010
This was a long time waiting, but so obvious that it needed to happen. Thankfully someone got a clue.
3:59 am on August 7th, 2010
Now Keith can pursue his real ambition and join the other ladies as a member of The View. He would fit right in.
9:04 am on August 7th, 2010
This is a good news.
10:04 am on August 7th, 2010
Whenever a game is on NBC I usually end up turning off the game. At the very least I turn it during commercials or when the anchors start shilling for liberals and their policies. I watch football as a break FROM politics…it makes me angry when the game becomes a commercial for Obama and his cast of idiots. The NFL will lose money if they continue to let politics influence their games/shows. I known many who feel the same way.
10:19 am on August 7th, 2010
Geez, the right wing Nazis, Rush and Beck lovers have crawled out of the woodwork on this announcement. The country is gone to hell all right, thanks to you freaks!
12:30 pm on August 7th, 2010
Will all the Rocks For Brains Conservatives move to Russia where you belong. You behave like the communists who believe everyone must step into line with you. Where did freedom go? Liberals are the last hope for what was once the greatest nation on earth. The Founders are being misquoted and misinterpreted by dummies. This country is fast losing leadership economically to China, India and Brazil and losing moral leadership to what were once 3rd world countries. Rocks For Brain Conservatives please move back to where you came from and take the rest of the trogladites with you.
1:30 pm on August 7th, 2010
Hey f###tard people bashing liberals -
I guess you don’t like 40 hour work weeks, worker’s comp, equal rights or Medicare. Oh and by the way another LIBERAL invention, the effing Constitution of the United States. You idiots love to trot “Founding Fathers this, Founding Fathers that”, when in fact they were all LIBERALS. Read a gd history book for a change and get your head outta your behind. I personally can’t stand Olberman and am glad he is gone. You people are so dumb you can’t even understand that in fact you are all taking your own rights away by supporting a bunch of right wing nut jobs. Hope you enjoy the Religous Republic of America in 20 years. Better not have any gay kids though…
2:09 pm on August 7th, 2010
All the “Haters” must be happy to hear this news. SsB must be so happy to report this now that Brooks has sold out to the Australian Murdoch and all the other Faux News phonies.
2:50 pm on August 7th, 2010
Oh I get it… the “haters” are anyone who disagrees with you “heavy-duty,” you brainwashed piece of crap Obama lover.
Keith Oberdung caused me to miss Tony Dungy and Peter King, both excellent football commentators. Refused to watch FNIA until Oberdung was released. NBC, thank you for doing the right thing, albeit 4 years too late. I know for a fact that your ratings will rise proportionately.
And “heavy-duty” … one more thing, you are a brainwashed piece of crap.
4:26 pm on August 7th, 2010
Olby is a pissant….idiot…cant even read off his teleprompter..
Sports nut my ass…He was a joke then, and now i can FINALLY enjoy the games without his pompass ass.
GOOD RIDDANCE OLBY…YOU SISSY
4:32 pm on August 7th, 2010
keith baby, good god damn riddance from football.
damn, would I like to go one on one with him!!
4:50 pm on August 7th, 2010
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS !!!!
Finally the @#!%^& zealot is gone from my Sunday Night Football !!!
There is a god !!
6:01 pm on August 7th, 2010
I could take him or leave him. He really didn’t make much of an impression on me. It never made sense to me to have a guy be his hateful I don’t like “neocons” self on one affiliate, and then have him with working on broadcasts for Americas most popular sport. When you galvanize yourself against one half of the population about half of the population is going to be turned off that this guy is in the studio. NBC didn’t show much business sense having him on in the first place.
6:12 pm on August 7th, 2010
Adi-os captain fruitypants..About time the NBC brass realized that Sports and politics don’t mix. The only “close minded” folks I know are the freaks that live or die by their petty little political models. This twit can go back to having his staged little tizzy fits about neocons, leprecauns or whatever the hell it is he hates so much on his little show and leave the rest of humanity alone.
8:53 pm on August 7th, 2010
good riddance ko
9:17 pm on August 7th, 2010
Just as long as they don’t replace him with the coward Rush Limbaugh, or the sexual predator Bill O’Reilly, or the closeted homosexual drop out Glenn Beck. Why is it that right-wing nuts, who are hated by the majority of the world, are the biggest sacks of trash? Why is it that they don’t know that Reagan tripled the deficit, Bush doubled it, and that their “tax cuts” are the reason. Why is that? Why are you right wingers alive? Please, please, please, kill yourselves.
9:18 pm on August 7th, 2010
All rightwingers are traitors to America and should die in house fires.
9:27 pm on August 7th, 2010
Would this be a bad time to point out that more people watch FNIA on any Sunday Night than watch Countdown With Olbermoron all week? So what is the difference if he misses a periodical Friday show? He gives aspirin a headache… I’m sure Dan Patrick if he practices all August will be ok voicing highlights… Don’t worry though Olbermoron will blame Bush for his dismissal…
9:29 pm on August 7th, 2010
Maybe they could replace KO with Rachel Madcow…I think she has more testosterone than olbermoron! Not to mention hairier balls…
10:08 pm on August 7th, 2010
Nothing left to watch the show for. Most of the match ups Sunday night are horrible. I’ll wait til game 9 to watch late games on NFL channel. How many times do they put the Redskins on Sunday Night???
11:59 pm on August 7th, 2010
what an ass. good riddens.
now i will watch sunday
night football aGAIN.
ALLEN
6:08 am on August 8th, 2010
Thank God that moron is finally off the show and I can watch the game without having to turn it off when that moron gets on the screen. Just the fact that me watching it put money in his pocket made me sick.
9:36 am on August 8th, 2010
The “ONLY” former espn anchor NOT invited back when they had their 25th anniversary . lol, that pretty much says it all. he’s the kid when u were in school that was the smartest and made damned sure eveeeeryone knew it…… total dick.
11:26 am on August 8th, 2010
WHAT !!! The pompous windbag wont be on SNF anymore ?
I’ll start watching again.
11:38 am on August 8th, 2010
Looks like all of those e-mail’s paid off finally !
GOOD RIDDANCE YOU LIBERAL DOUCHEBAG !
11:39 am on August 8th, 2010
You mean I don’t have to change the channel at halftime anymore ?
Yeah baby !
11:41 am on August 8th, 2010
Football and zealotry doesn’t mix.
Buh bye Olberdick.
1:19 pm on August 8th, 2010
More time for Keith to spend abusing subordinates and jerking off on Rachel Maddow’s underwear.
Win win for Keith.
1:20 pm on August 8th, 2010
Rightwingers are a plague in America. They voted in George Bush, who caused the probelms we have today. The deficit is his fault, unemployment is his fault, and the fact that we are in two wars is his fault. Also, 9/11 was his fault.
3:10 pm on August 8th, 2010
DING DONG THE WITCH IS DEAD !!
3:11 pm on August 8th, 2010
Today we kick him off of Sunday Night Football, tomorrow we get him off cable.
3:23 pm on August 8th, 2010
Its people like Keith O that are willing to take our country down a path of destruction. And he is such a panzie acting guy, he’d do better on the view. YOU SIR, ARE FIRED.
6:22 pm on August 8th, 2010
Good riddance bathtub boy.
6:24 pm on August 8th, 2010
That four eyed sissy didn’t know jack about football anyways. He reminds me of Munroe from that show in the early 80’s Too close for comfort..Buh bye
7:14 pm on August 8th, 2010
Now I’ll watch NBC’s Football Night In America.
9:22 pm on August 8th, 2010
Politics had everything to do with this. MSNBC gets killed by O’Reilly every night. NBC needs to stop the bleeding.
9:32 pm on August 8th, 2010
Its George W Bush’s fault.
10:14 pm on August 8th, 2010
While I’ve missed some good games on Sunday nights during my exile, I’m glad I boycotted NBC while this imbecile was on. I look forward to watching this fall.
7:48 am on August 9th, 2010
How could NBC pay this guy 4 million (reported) a year, when he isn’t worth 4 cents?
9:33 am on August 9th, 2010
Great comments! I thought I was alone.
I refused to watch FINA because Olbermann was on.
As a previous poster stated, there is hope for America.
1:37 pm on August 9th, 2010
NOW I can watch the show. I refused to watch while this imbecile was on it!!
3:29 pm on August 9th, 2010
Let’s see, people hate Olberham for “hating” on non-liberals, because hating on folks who don’t have the same political beliefs as you is bad.
Hmmm, are any of you folks pots calling kettles black?
Extreme folks on BOTH sides are douchebags. You know who you are.
4:40 pm on August 9th, 2010
Good! This guy is the ultimate douchebag and I hope he gets canned from TV altogether. For the first time I may actually watch the NBC pregame even though I prefer the ESPN NFL highlights.
Keith Uberdouche can GTH!
9:30 pm on August 9th, 2010
he was no longer “funny and entertaining” when got it political commentary. sports and politics should be like god and state. Separate.
9:33 pm on August 9th, 2010
Thanks a lot. KO is a joke and is only on TV due to some “dirty laundry” he must have on someone. Now I may actually watch the NFL games again.
12:06 am on August 10th, 2010
This is the same a-hole whose show postulated that Pat Tillman was assisnated by the Bush administration. How NBC could employ a #$%^sucker that would exploit Tillman’s death like that for politics is beyond me..
7:23 am on August 10th, 2010
Hey Keith, don’t let the exit door hit you in the ass !
8:37 am on August 10th, 2010
Outstanding! I for one will start watching again. The NFL product sells itself. ESAD Olbermann!
1:05 pm on August 10th, 2010
Fact: Doucherman attended Cornell but it was the agricultural extension University, not the bigboy campus, oh wait, he never mentioned that on his show?……don’t know why….
Fiction: Doucherman is in an ongoing romantic relationship with Jimmy Kimmel, and is the bottom….
Unsubstantiated innuendo: Doucherman frequently urinates himself while on camera due to some kind of medical problem or he’s just a big p_ _ _ y! I would suspect the latter.
1:18 pm on August 10th, 2010
Repulsive Lib Tard high on existence. He should be selling shoes, Buster Browns. Straight up loser with a mouth and 3/4 vocab voodooing the of 1/4 of idiots amongst us. He’s the kinda guy you see out and just want to smack the living feces out of. Got more respect for a pigeon…
1:20 pm on August 10th, 2010
There is hope, this man has never said a nice word about anyone! Glad he is gone…:)
10:43 pm on August 10th, 2010
Great to hear that Olberdork is out at FNIA…I will be watching the halftime program again. I remember when that idiot was making a mockery of sports announcing in Los Angeles back on KTLA…there were times I wished he swallowed his tongue and croaked during the broadcast…rat bastage
12:17 am on August 12th, 2010
NBC legal department can’t afford to have a borderline insane broadcaster on a live broadcast.
11:41 am on August 16th, 2010
I say, “GOOD RIDDANCE!” This clown is a brainless, communist boob who wipes Obama’s ass. Next is his stupid show which nobody watches anyway. I’ll get a shiver up my leg when Keith Overbite and Chris “The Lush” Matthews are off the air for good.
12:36 am on August 17th, 2010
I automatically hit the “previous channel button” any time I see Olbermann’s contorted mug appear on my screen. I don’t say this about hardly any TV personalities, but I can’t stand this boob. I’m thrilled that Mr. Know-it-All will be on one less show this year.
To think that MSNBC actually pays him in real dollars is beyond the pale.
2:39 pm on August 20th, 2010
Good riddance. KO is a communist lapdog who would walk off a cliff if Obama told him to. There are two guys in the media who just really need a good smackdown: Bill Maher and Keith Olbermann!
9:32 am on August 24th, 2010
Thank the Lord, I have been sending email to NBC sports for years. I guess a lot of other viewers were also. This America hating Communist bastard piece of dung has no business being involved with Americas favorite sport. I hope they dont try to replace him with his nephew Ray Meadow.
9:34 am on August 24th, 2010
Now, about this Chris Collinsworth MF’er
2:21 pm on August 26th, 2010
I’ll watch now!
3:07 pm on September 7th, 2010
Wow, NBC Is capable of a coherent thought. I can’t wait for the second one.
11:56 am on September 8th, 2010
How dare any of you to inject politics into sports. Who cares about his politics…the fact that he leaves FNA makes things better because the last thing i want is to watch sports center 10 - 15 years ago. Next they need to get rid of Patrick too. As far as how you feel about his politics is personal…politics and sports don’t mix so leave it out of this discussion.
2:34 am on September 9th, 2010
WOW K.O.
You are a great voice for sanity!
Just looking at the huge number of GOP voting idiots who believe that they too can get rich by swallowing the vomit of the Rush Limbaugh and his ilk, brings a smile.
Wake-up and smell the GOP chloroform you DUMB BASTARDS.
You are the loudest voice for sanity on the tube K.O.
will miss you on the sports and anticipate you on MSNBC.
7:12 am on September 9th, 2010
Olberman is terrible, borish and not funny, although he struggles to be. I turned off the football broadcast when he was on. And as the ratings tell us, very few people watch his real show.
1:55 pm on September 9th, 2010
If I ever meet him in an airport I’m going to kick him so hard his tiny penis will squirt out his left nostril.
7:22 pm on September 12th, 2010
I applaud NBC for having the guts to launch the most arrogant, pontificating, self-righteous, judgmental, and least relevant TV “personality” on the air. The pre-game show for Football Night In America just got infinitely better!!
THANK YOU NBC!!!
7:27 pm on September 12th, 2010
Oberman is a PUNK. Thank God he is gone.
Now I will watch the show.
9:52 am on September 13th, 2010
The NBC Football Broadcast Team is the “B-Squad” of football broadcasting…and just recently won the “B-Squad” title with the release of Olbermann…during his tenure they were definitely a touring road show of poor quality.
2:12 pm on September 13th, 2010
That blowhard was so out of place. Looked to me — when I used to watch — like that plopped him there so NBC could justify is salary. What an arrogant creep. I love Dungy and Rodney, and now they get extra time. Next to go, please, remove that blond woman, Andrea, from the sidelines who is very difficult to follow when she’s speaking at a noisy stadium, which is every week. She’s just annoying and unnecessary , and really it seems like she only has that job so fill out their diversity quota.
11:46 pm on September 13th, 2010
Now I can finally watch the pregame, halftime and postgame shows.
I could not stomach that dude!
10:02 am on September 17th, 2010
Amen! Not only did I not watch the pre-game, halftime or post-game shows because I just can’t stand to hear his voice, I wrote NBC and told them that. Perhap I wasn’t the only one… I hated that for Costas and a couple of the other class guys on that show.
9:55 am on September 21st, 2010
Of all the liberal commentators on T.V. this guy is the most obnoxious, arrogant, and bitter little creeps I’ve ever seen. He definitely needs a royal asskicking. If anybody is familiar with the scene in G.F. 2 where Michael Corleone sets up the hypocritical senator in a whore house…Oberbite is the kind of spineless guy that you could set up for something like this and have a lot of fun blackmailing this piece of whale sh*t. Ask me how I really feel? Five minutes…bare knuckle.
1:09 am on September 27th, 2010
Yeah, down with all the smart people that exercise their vocabulary and don’t reinforce my narrow worldview, my collection of predjudices and purposeful misinformation bequeathed to me by people with money and power! Now I can watch Sunday Night Football in peace and happily go back to work as a wage-slave for someone that makes more in a day than I do in a year! Yayyyy!
What an a-hole, what a jerk, what gives him the right to speak truth to power and try to defend those that are being lied to and manipulated? Oh yeah, this is America, he’s free to do what he wishes. The question is, WHY does he do it, why does anybody try to help people, including people that are here trashing him and everyone else?
Go Seahawks! Years away from being back on Sunday Night Football!

Well, you guys and gals finally wised up. Olbermann is a liberal butt head and I’m glad he is history. Now if NBC could find the balls to ditch “ED” and that liberal bitch Rachel “NUTCASE” Maddow, I might find it in power to watch it once in awhile when Beck or Hannity become a little repetitive or boring.

Glad he’s gone…………He always had that expression on his face, that John Holmes had payed a visit to his tonsils, repeatedly.
Now Olberman will be free to spend his eveing hours tapping his toe, in the mens restroom in Minn.

Olberman is a hack, msnbc-always a sports hack, not to mention, l wing loon progressive communist
3:05 pm on October 4th, 2010
Now what can you do about Cris Collinsworth? I can hardly stand listening to him for the whole game! He has a smart-alec air about him. I really miss John Madden!
3:16 pm on October 4th, 2010
Glad he’s gone. Don’t have to switch channels any more. Would not listen to any prgramming that has him on.
5:11 pm on October 4th, 2010
Oberbite is dog sh*t and it good he is gone.
6:01 pm on October 4th, 2010
Olbermann’s getting fired was all G.W. Bush’s fault of course.
6:34 pm on October 4th, 2010
So glad he’s off now. We could not stand this turd. He tried to be funny with his commentary and sucked at it. Good riddance you POS!
9:04 pm on October 4th, 2010
Keith, Congratulations! You probably set a record for comments on this subject, most of them negative. I’d rather see you on Friday Nights. You are the only Broadcaster or Columnist that has the guts to tell the truth and have the proof to back it up! I agree, poor, bashful Beck should be in a padded cell before he hurts himself or someone else! Jerry Garvin, Austin,Texas-jrygrv@msn.com

Olberman has seen his sports shows cancelled more than once in the past. He is a divisive personality with a tired, one-trick approach that essentially can be summed up as,”don’t you see how smart I am.”
10:03 am on October 8th, 2010
Yes. Now i can watch the show.
2:04 pm on October 8th, 2010
Glad he is leaving. Now he can pursue his one try love..as Dean of the Clown College!

Got to love the right wing retards on this forum. As usual, providing plenty of bullets for the stupid gun.
Hey Cons - did it ever occur to you that by nature of being an NFL fan, you are a socialist? That’s right retards, pretty much every NFL team would not exist if it were not for….gasp….are you ready for it baggers? PUBLIC FUNDING.
I am guessing you are the same tools who cry about entitlement programs while wearing your favorite college sports team’s t-shirt. And I am sure the irony is completely lost on you neoconservative clowns.
10:24 am on October 11th, 2010
Now I can watch the show. If I see his face on the TV, I immediately turn the channel. Pompous a_s, comes to mind with just a brief view of this jerk.
8:44 pm on October 13th, 2010
Before I even knew his politics, I thought on ESPN he was an ego maniac. Was happy to see him leave a few years ago. I hated his “I’m better and smarter than you” persona. Don’t let the door hit you on the rear on the way out the door. You for one thing sure are sure not smarter.
1:36 am on October 14th, 2010
Happy days are here again……..
5:47 am on October 14th, 2010
GREAT
NOW THAT HE IS FULLTIME ON MSNBC,NOBODY IN THIS COUNTRY WILL BE WATCHING THIS MORON
1:15 pm on October 14th, 2010
I am surprised that MSNBC would do that since Olbermann has some kind of disability be it physical or mental. Michael Savage intimated that this is the only reason the man hasn’t been fired altogether in that they are afraid of a lawsuit.
12:10 am on October 15th, 2010
Thanks for geting this moron out of hear he thinks he is better than everybody else he talks crap about people that don’t agree with how he thinks so let me be the first to say get the hell out of hear seeya
7:32 am on October 15th, 2010
Leave Keith alone.. Look at all the comments, mostly negative. Keith is an investgment property,buy he for what he is really worth and sell him for what he thinks he worth and retire the entire national deficit.
3:00 pm on October 15th, 2010
These comments - this has to be the dumbest group of people this side of a tea party rally. Is the point to make football fans appear stupid?
4:03 pm on October 15th, 2010
I’d pay $1000.00 to the defense fund of anyone who shoots Olbermann. What a POS!
3:07 pm on November 5th, 2010
so glad ko is history! i love football, i love most of the commentators,,,but i never liked ko. because of his smarmy way of giving you news about the sports. its a great day in the neighborhood, now that we will have some new “talent” in broadcasting sports news. YOU HAVE MADE MY DAY!
6:44 pm on November 5th, 2010
Hell, I might start watching MSNBC now… except for Maddow time.. best thing that could have happened.
10:13 pm on December 12th, 2010
Olberman is so left wing he couldn’t even call a game with out being off sides himself , The Guy is the biggest loser on TV
7:46 pm on October 3rd, 2011
I was having a bad day and stumbled on this site…..Very funny posts. KO and his kind are just miserable people and don’t know how to have fun. He’s not worthy of carrying Rush’s tea bags (as libs refer too)
2:18 pm on November 21st, 2011
Excellent!
Anytime he can be removed from our sight and from any logical discussion the better it is for the people.
Way to go FINA . . .
listening to the people !!!
