He's acting?

The unfortunate thing is that Olbermann actually possesses talent as a sports broadcaster. He often has witty insights into baseball and, from everything I've read, is a respected historian of the sport. He should stick with that and stop mindlessly ranting on and on about corporate ripoffs and how much he despises both conservatives and conservatism.

The latter pays better, and I disagree with your opinion on the former. Never confuse smugness with intelligence, or rudeness with wit.

I would absolutely agree, sir. Unfortunately in the discourse of American journalism, it seems as though the more arrogant and biased a media figure is, the more attention they are given. I just wouldn't mind having Olbermann in the broadcast booth with Joe Buck or Thom Brennaman during a baseball game, provided that he doesn't inject politics into it of course. The same would apply for any conservative figure as well.

The only way I'd like that is if Buck or Brennaman cold-cocked the guy before the 2nd inning. Now, that would be worth watching... or listening to!
(The ONLY thing I like about Olbermann is that at least his leg didn't "quiver" when candidate Obama spoke during the 2008 campaign.)

That would be something else, especially after all of Olbermann's mindless and sometimes incoherent rants over the years. Though unfortunately, I probably wouldn't even make it to the 2nd inning to witness that event. Baseball on television is often dull in my opinion, whereas a day at the ballpark or listening to it on the radio is a wonderful and relaxing experience. Go Reds!
