Game over for Keith Olbermann.

The cable news anchor reportedly will no longer be a part of NBC’s ‘Football Night in America,’ where he has contributed segments for the Sunday Night Football broadcasts for the last three years.

Sources confirm to Sports by Brooks that Olbermann will not return this NFL season.

According to the report, NBC News officials were behind the decision, because they want the MSNBC host to focus on his program ‘Countdown with Keith Olbermann.’

Smart move by NBC.

I had refused to watch Sunday Night Football because of him, and I wrote them stating as much (not taking credit or anything).

Now they just need to dump that HORRIBLE Faith Hill song.

I couldn’t watch the NBC pregame after Olbemann came on. It was good the first year but it was horrible after that. It’s like homosexuals decided to produce a pregame show. Look to Fox and CBS, both their pregames are great.

Olbermann is a wanker!

It is important that Olbermann has more time to focus on his countdown program. All 75 viewers will appreciate it.

Mr. Olbermann must be from a large family.

I, for one, sent a message to NBC saying I wouldn’t watch as long as he was featured on the show last year.
Didn’t know my message would carry such clout!! HAHAHA!

Translation = "We prefer that Keith just screw ONE pooch at a time"

NBC is poison and I never buy anything GE opting for Sylvania. But I digress.

Anytime that douche appeared or his name was mentioned, I changed the channel. Further, during the Olympics when collinsworth trieed to coax Kobe to piss on the USA by saying he wasn’t proud of America, and Kobe proudly refused, I see this POS differently. And don’t get me started on that dwarf costa.

In summation, long ago NBC/GE told me they didn’t want me watching their channel or buying their products, and I cheerfully comply. No wonder they lost 250 million on the Olympics

I have a GE microwave from about 1989. Big sucker and it still works fine. Always thought I’d get another GE when this one croaks. Not now.

Having Faith Hill sing the opener shows how stupid NBC is.

The demographic of NFL fans that like Faith Hill is probably very small.
