“He is a raving lunatic,a walking mental case.”

Maybe that’s why people watch him?

Liberalism: Doing the same thing over and over again, thinking you will get different results.

How many times does the liberal ESPN have to hire and fire this guy before they figure it out that he is a loser that nobody can stand?

ESPN is already losing viewers for being too political and too left.

All I can conclude is they have a death wish. Wow.

I believe most of ESPN's revenue comes from subscriber fees you pay on your cable bill. The ratings aren't that important to them as long as you don't drop the cable altogether.

ESPN is the most expensive content cable providers buy. The ridiculous expense of cable is a major factor for cable cutters, which are gaining momentum. That is driving down subscription revenue and ESPN's revenue. Low ratings also drives down ad revenue, which is where ESPN ultimately is paid. So, they are in an endless cycle of cutting expenses and employees.

Some cable operators are even offering packages without ESPN to offer a lower cost alternative.

For the life of me I can't figure out how bringing Olby back helps with any of this. Looking to lock down the liberal football fan market? Good luck making money from that.

LOL, you simply cannot make this stuff up. I remember when this jerk was a sports announcer on Chanel 5 in LA. He was an idiot then, and he has continued to achieve even greater heights of idiocy since.

Keith is good this time. He has actually been back in various guest roles for a year and a half at the network, hasn’t tweeted anything political in over six months and seems as sick of social commentary as you can get. Not to mention he was never fired by ESPN.
