Thanks for noticing...

[Guest CK1]

I know a lot of you guys are so busy drinking the Fox News kool-aid that you might've missed that this guy is actually one of the best on the air these days... Despite what you may or may not think he also happens to be one of the few talking heads who was willing to get Nashville's back when many were nowhere to be found... Thanks Keith.

who needs the news when you have TGO

[Guest Arko]

Personally, I can't stand him. But good on him if he can be compassionate and fair. You can hit the highlights for me and I won't have to watch him. win-win!

[Westwindmike]

I've never seen Oberman be fair about any story he does. He's a jerk!!!

[Guest bkelm18]

I predict this thread will be full of win.

[Guest oldsmobile98]

I will not hesitate to give credit where it is due.

Thanks, Mr. Olbermann.

Now get your racer butt off the air.

[USMCJG]

Enjoy him while you can. Now that Nancy Grace is stomping him in the ratings, his show is in serious jeopardy. I think America actually hates this douche even worse than I do.

[MikeW]

I will keep on the Fox Kool-aid...

[Guest jackdm3]

I don't have cable. Don't do FOX. Don't see douchebaggery.

[Il Duce]

i preferred him on ESPN

[TGO David]

Is he the new kid on One Tree Hill ?

[Guest JHatmaker]

Is he the new kid on One Tree Hill ?

He wears short sleeve t-shirts over long sleeve t-shirts over short sleeve t-shirts and stares at a lake while standing in a boat.

[Mike.357]

he should have stuck to sportscasting

[Guest CK1]

Wow, back from dinner and we're only at 2 pages... TGO must be getting more open minded than I thought...

Seriously though, I know a lot of the guys on here hate him, but, he did make a point to go to bat for Nashville which is more than most...

CK1, I'm not getting much off that link. Not seeing the story you might be referring to here. I despise the guy, but I'll listen.

Any given turd can float to the top once in a while.

Thanks CK1...got it.

Yes, a good word for Nashville.

Now I'm only 99.9% convinced he's a douchebag. But hey he's chippin' away at it.

[Guest RRM]

That is the only brilliant thing he has ever said. I sometimes turn over to his show when i need a good laugh.

[TGO David]

I'll tell you what I have noticed lately.... it's that on certain other forums comprised of a significant number of active military and other "industry professionals" who live and die by the gun daily, it's better to listen more than you post.

You should ask them what they think of Olbermann.

[Guest oldsmobile98]

I'm disappointed in y'all. I thought somebody would ask me what this meant.

Now get your racer butt off the air.

A racer is my term for somebody who throws out accusations of racism at anybody and everybody. Kinda like referring to someone as a truther or a birther. And no, I don't mock truthers or birthers. But I do mock racers, like Keith, who said:

And I think, having now been one for 51 years, I am permitted to say I believe prejudice and discrimination still sit, defeated, dormant, or virulent, somewhere in the soul of each white man in this country.

Not being satisfied with just that, he later says in the same broadcast:

I'm not black, so I can't say for sure, but my guess is the reverse feeling still exists, too — the same doubt and nagging distrust, only with the arrow pointing the opposite way.

And I guess it's still there too among Hispanics and Asians and every other self-identifying group...

He's not "one of the best on the air these days". He's a racer. Racism is bad. So too is racerism.
