Keith Olbermann & NBC's Sunday Night Football: An Insult To NFL Viewers

NBC's Liberal Agenda: Mixing Politics With Sports Antagonistic To Conservatives

Keith Olbermann is the most strident anti-conservative on television. I won't call him a liberal. I won't call him a leftist and I certainly won't call him a journalist. The truth is Olbermann hates 50% of Americans who, according to recent polling, now consider themselves conservative. Therefore, the question begs to be asked: Why is the host of MSNBC's "Countdown with Keith Olbermann" a part of NBC's "Sunday Night Football" coverage?

Olbermann's MSNBC show--which gets whipped nightly in the ratings by Bill O'Reilly (The O'Reilly Factor--FOX News Channel)--is possibly the most biased ...

Why not? That's what he is.

I detest this guy, but I can’t bitch too much about this. I enjoyed it when Rush was in the booth for ESPN, at least until they fired him.

Whenever I see his disgusting mug on TV, I change the channel quick, before I puke.

Why would I have any interest in knowing what Overbite thinks about football on Sunday after he loudly calls me an idiot and a racist on Friday?

That's all . Don't watch the opening , grab a beer at half time. The late game 1/2 reports are old news.

NBC gets one NFL game a week, and this is what they do with it?

Maybe we should find some enterprising bar owner to treat Olber-girl like some used to do with Howard Cosell when he was on MNF back in the day?

I wrote NBC and told them I would not watch their pregame as long as they had Olbermann on and that he added ZERO to the coverage. I don’t like political commentators of any stripe covering football.

We love football in this house, will watch pretty much any game, any time. However, when I see this guy’s face as a “commentator,” the channel quickly turns. Surely the network has to know that he is poison for them.

I wrote the same email last year. Didn’t even get a reply. I refuse to watch the pregame or halftime, and can barely bring myself to watch the game on NBC. I switch to NFL Network and ESPN whenever Olberman is on.

I will not watch a picosecond of NBC’s pre or postgame coverage as long as that asshat is on the set.

Personally I can’t stand any of the half-time commentaries by the LIBERAL RETARD LEFTIST media, whether it is college level or professional, on any sport. The commentators are just loud mouth schmoozers, and pander excessively to politically correct words & phrases. They advocate “green” crap here & there, slobber over 0bozo, etc, etc., I hate em. Guess that’s why I enjoy going to local high school football games and discontinued my Direct TV altogether.

I wouldn’t refer to Bob Costas as likeable. He speaks well and is knowledgeable but he can be pretty arrogant at times. Olbermann was a smarmy jerk when Dan Patrick was carrying his behind on Sportscenter. My problem with NBC’s coverage is Collinsworth. He is so arrogant.

I'll quote myself as posted at http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2333154/posts-

I don't care if it's the Superbowl or the World Championships of Tiddlywinks, I will not watch that scumbag.
