He is still the snarky and funny person he always was. His show is about sports, but he takes every chance he can get to chime in on issues that extend beyond the sports realm.
He gave a great special comment about The Negro Baseball League and inequality on MLK Jr's birthday.
Last night he slyly entered the fray about the Washington Redskins and whether they ahould change their name. Several sportswriters and others will no longer use that term in their stories.
Keith was providing commentary on the highlights(or lowlights) of the Redskins vs Vikings game. During that time he called them everything but the Washington Redskins. He called them the Washington Generals, The Washington Senators, The Washington Capitols and every other name he could think of that was a name for any Washington sports team.
It took me a minute to catch on, but it was hilarious.

(17,111 posts)There are several KO videos on youtube. I hope this makes it. However, I'll bet he keeps it up.
After Washington plays, watch his next show or DVR it.

KUDOs much to K.O. for doing his best to give his reports real zest!
