Probably should post this in sports. Was just so happy to see him.... is he back? on ESPN I mean? Damn I miss him on MSNBC. He's part of ESPN'S 40 year anniversary. Wish he'd come back to MSNBC to talk about the shit going on with tRump.

(15,056 posts)I would be happy if he would start up his online video posts again. Anything!!!
But I have missed seeing him on MSNBC so much. Both he and Jon Stewart are sorely missed!

It's okay, you can tell me. It's you, isn't it?
No, no, you don't have to say anything. You want to be incognito, I understand.
I won't tell a soul. Mum's the word.

(32,073 posts)The man is a walking baseball encyclopedia. I like him as a sportscaster as much, if not more than I do him as a political commentator.

(5,477 posts)Too bad he backed away from it when he did; he could have continued to be a thorn in tRump's side and kept a decent audience.

(28,243 posts)He ought to be giving trump a daily dose of outrage.
George II
(67,782 posts)...he doesn't have a regular show.
When on MSNBC, he had the absolutely best political show on any network, I looked forward to him ever night.
Both Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O'Donnell owe their MSNBC careers to him, he strongly promoted them.

(10,299 posts)... and has focused his career on sports presentation.
But he is a quirky guy.... BBC did a podcast series, later aired on BBC radio, called Texting Keith Olbermann... Ros Atkins (host of BBC OS on BBC World News Channel) started receiving texts from KO... Worth a listen...

(1,117 posts)it's ok, others can carry the torch till he come sback.

(21,987 posts)...for an interesting perspective, go to YouTube and watch some of his commentaries from "The Resistance." Some of them haven't aged very well and his predictions about Trump's imminent demise have not come to pass. Quite the opposite, in fact.
Still, he has been a voice of clarity in an overblown media fog.
I miss his commentaries and there really hasn't been anyone to take his place.

(32,641 posts)Didn't he have Rachel on as a special commentator back then? And, unfortunately, Tucker Carlson. If I recall correctly.

(7,888 posts)He is a high maintenance "star" for the management at major news networks. Rumors are sometimes accurate, sometimes not
MasonDreams
(756 posts)They didn't cover Standing Rock and they did cover an empty podium waiting for trump for 45 min. They told us that they were going to show us Bernie at a stadium, but the corruption $$ killed it at the last minute. The past is gone and we cannot return. TV is castrated. Now ya gotta look 3or4 places online and sort it out. Shultz, Oberman, Donahue all shut out, never to return.

(7,184 posts)...a couple weeks ago. And he was terrific! His vast knowledge of baseball and what he sees in a game (that I missed) just amazes me. LOVE to see him on this time of the sports year.
