Olbermann/Espn Radio

[ls317]

Pigs have flown: Keith Olbermann is once again going to cash ESPN paychecks.
ESPN will announce today that Olbermann, a SportsCenter anchor before leaving in 1997, will have an hour-long weekly show on ESPN Radio that will air Friday afternoons and begin this August.

Olbermann's exit from ESPN, where Olbermann was known for catchphrases such as "premature jocularity," wasn't amicable. He then moved to MSNBC to work on a news show that often focused on Monica Lewinsky.

The job, as Olbermann noted in a 1998 commencement address at his alma mater Cornell, wasn't fulfilling: It gave him "dry heaves," and it would "make me ashamed, make me depressed, make me cry."

2. Sounds Like Some Fun Weekend Sports Radio

Keith's never gotten that sports bug out of him...and good! Sports talk radio is loaded with fat-gutted guys who second-guess everything. Fine for those who like sitting around a bar room all day, but it's refreshing when someone like an Olbermann or a Bob Kostas jumps over to radio and has some fun. The listeners are always the winners here. Welcome back, Keith...and good luck <glass crash>
