I first became familiar with Olbermann when he was the sports guy for KTLA Channel 5 in LA. He was funny, witty, sharp. Then on to ESPN back when Sportscenter was where you went for scores and recaps. But I guess, like the comic actor who wants to be taken Seriously - Jim Carrey? Adam Sandler? - sports just wasnt big enough for him so politics and the rest had to be taken on. And thus today’s Olberman. I seem to remember way back when a certain WNBA player had a restraining order placed on him as he was stalking her.
Olbermann vs. Jones.
Never bet on the white guy.
