Olbermann doesn't understand that he's not brilliant. He's a hack. He's irrelevant.

You'll also note that Olbermann was among the few ESPN almuni NOT invited back for that network's 25th anniversary. Olbermann has a long history of infuriating TV executives (as well as viewers). When his current gig on MSNBC ends (and it will, very soon), he'll be lucky to get a weekend sportscaster job in Omaha.
