Lisa Aiello DeLeon just wanted to show Keith Olbermann that there was more to Penn State than the Jerry Sandusky scandal.

When she read that the university's annual THON dance marathon had raised more than $13 million over the weekend for pediatric cancer research, she thought of the ESPN host.

I love a story with a happy ending. I’m no Penn State fan, but this is beyond the pale. ESPN should reconsider the suspension and permanently boot Olbie the Obnoxious Buffoon over this.

I thought Olberman’s contract supposedly said he’d be automatically fired if he got involved in any more shenanigans like this. I guess not. Still, I guess it’s just a matter of time,anyway. The guy’s nuttier than a fruitcake.

Who is going to suspend ESPN? They hired Olberidiot twice.

The four day suspension with an apology seems appropriate. Olbermann has been angry for some time about the handling of the Penn State sex abuse scandal and by his own admission was childish in the extreme to take that scorn out on the students for simply being associated with the school.

ESPN is run by a UNC grad. No more needs to be said....

Go ahead and Google unc cheating....it all started with St. Dean of Smith.

One would think Olbermann is overcompensating about something, hmmm...

Considering leftists love homosexuality and pedophilia, no doubt Olberdork absolutely adores the Penn St coach convicted of child buggery.

My Grand Father used to say tht someone would be an A-hole as long as he had one. Olberman sure fits that description.

I think Olbermann just overreacted—so typical of him. Small wonder why he was fired from ESPN in the late 1990’s.

I must admit I enjoy dirtbag Keith Overbite making an ass of himself with regularity.
