    which one ??? Olberfeist or ESPN's Exec's....??

    Keith's rant's are nothing short of Tourette's ON AIR......

    The Libtard couldn't let go of Occupy Wall Street or His tick with many other matters political, ie his non-stop banter of Fox News........

    Now he will be ranting on not only Rice, Pederson? and why the Monkey isn't being spanked in Anaheim.........and he won't stop, until he's corked......!!!

    Exactly.......

    This much I did not know, before Keith got a coveted TV spot/show, he called "The Miracle On Ice" on RKO Radio.....

    after doing a short year in Boston, (as a Yanx Fan). In the early-to-mid '80s he was a sportscaster on the old WNEW 1130-AM radio station in New York City, ........

    In 1984, he briefly worked as a sports anchor at WCVB-TV in Boston before heading to Los Angeles to work at KTLA and KCBS. His work there earned him 11 Golden Mike Awards, and he was named best sportscaster by the California Associated Press three times. In b/t the above noted jobs, Keith was doing voices for The Cartoon Network, where he should be sent back to, a job that bests suits Keith......

    I sure don't recall Olberman working for CBS in LA. it was ABC Eyewitness news, of which Keith was given a Sports Anchor Job.......he wasn't bad in that era, and was quit full of fun........

    I wish he'd go back to Cartoon Network, whre he belongs.....

    Olbermann became a devoted fan of baseball at a young age, a love he inherited from his mother, who was a lifelong New York Yankees fan. As a teenager, he often wrote about baseball card-collecting and appeared in many sports card-collecting periodicals of the mid 1970s. He is also referenced in Sports Collectors Bible, a 1979 book by Bert Sugar, which is considered one of the important early books for trading card collectors.

    In the mid 80s, when Olberman was the LA Sports Guru, he'd often mention his baseball and sports card collections. It was the norm to see Keith at most Sports Collector and Memorabilia Shows in So. Cal. on a regular basis. He didn't appear cocky or arrogant like he has on TV. TV has been a vehicle in which Keith has used to self destruct.......

    Gotta' say tho' the Man had one helluva unbelievable collection of greats, including dead ball era Tobacco Cards, (but no he didn't own a Honus Wagner T-206); tho' he seemed to own everything else, incl. Yankee Game Worn and Used Jerseys, Bats, Autographed items galore incl. a huge collection of (bats); balls, pics, you name it. Keith was an avid collector, of which I've only met 2 other persons who had a larger and better collection than Olberman. One was Al Rosen-"Mr. Mint"......

    1st time I met Olberman, was at a show, when I was paying for a pair of Autographed and Authenticated Reggie Jackson game worn cleats, (as an Angel), and Olberman tried to out bid me, when they weren't up for bid, that pissed me off, and the owner too, to make a mockery out of lesser collectors, by saying, "Hey I got more money, so let me have it", that became the attitude of the Holier and Smarter than everyone else........

    Last I saw, Keith was massaging Michael Moore, and complaining about Fox News and still bitching about "Occupy Wall Street"........
