NEW YORK - Keith Olbermann will add a fifth voice to the studio on NBC's Sunday-night football highlights show in the fall, the network said on Monday.
Bob Costas anchors the show, with Cris Collingsworth and now Olbermann as co-hosts. With Jerome Bettis and Tiki Barber as analysts, the former NFL players will outnumber Costas and Olbermann by 3-to-2.
Olbermann, who first became known as a host on ESPN's "Sportscenter," has shuffled between news and sports during his career. His "Countdown" show on MSNBC has been hot lately, with Olbermann drawing attention for commentaries taking on the Bush administration.

As if Collinsworth isn’t bad enough - then they add this guy.

Yet another reason to not watch the NBC Sunday fool’s ball show (as if I needed another reason).

I am so bummed out,I can’t stand this big mouth jerk. NBC must be desperate !! Ratings for Sunday night football will fall. Its bad enough to have to put up with Dierdork and Thiesman.Glad I can mute the TV , but still not happy with NBCs choice.

I can handle Costas and Collingsworth - most of the time.
But Olbermann?
No friggin’ way! That’s asking way too much!
To: Txsleuth
My Golden Retriever could get better ratings than Chris Matthews, that doesn’t mean he deserves a show!

As long as I don’t have to tolerate him during actual
game I’m fine. I’ve long since tuned out all the pre-game chatter.
To: MassRepublicanFlyersFan
Costas, Obermann and a Woman on the sidelines doing color. I’m just glad Vince Lombardi has passed on and doesn’t have to see this.

He was a sports guy to begin with. Why is this surprising?

Olberman is a whining wimp. And above all he is boring and envious. Why him?
