Keith is awesome to me... I think his intellect was too much for football.

I kid. I kid.:

NBC Takes Olbermann Off ‘Football Night In America’
Posted by Brooks on Aug. 05, 2010, 6:37pm
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.
Some members of the FNIA cast and crew were made aware of the news Tuesday 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.

And sadly Oberman is doubly dull: being cursed with nothing to say and no style with which to say it. He is one of those buffoons who tries to compensate through sheer volume and belligerence...for his utter lack of intelligence and wit.
Can anyone imagine what his wife or friends endure?
But again, I reiterate: football should stay apolitical, something NBC, ESPN and a few other networks with thinly disguised agendas repeatedly fail to apprehend.
After 100,000 callers voiced displeasure with the Obermans' rabid ways...you'd have thought NBC would have acted sooner in dismissing Keith. But agendas on the left often have a mindless jihadist zeal, transcending both dollars and sense.
