Game over for Keith Olbermann.
The cable news anchor reportedly will no longer be a part of NBCs 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.

Ah, it’s safe to watch football again. LOL.
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!
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!
Good! I may begin watching the show again. I gag whenever I see that toilet tick!
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 wasnt proud of America, and Kobe proudly refused, I see this POS differently. And dont get me started on that dwarf costa.
In summation, long ago NBC/GE told me they didnt want me watching their channel or buying their products, and I cheerfully comply. No wonder they lost 250 million on the Olympics
A moment of clarity and sanity from NBC?
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.
I was one who refusesd to watch
Seriously - I can't stand her anymore.
of course the players are unionized and generally members of the Baraqqi Coalition. heck the Steelers owner even got an ambassadorship for his election efforts
I LOVE the NFL and can’t wait for the season to start, and with Oberdouche not sullying Sunday nights, this is going to be the best season...EVAH!
Wonder how Dan Patrick feels about losing his Football Night in America co-host...haven’t heard him comment on this on his morning radio show.
New news to me......
Having Faith Hill sing the opener shows how stupid NBC is.
The demographic of NFL fans that like Faith Hill is probably very small.
Do you really think that matters. :)
Die screaming you scumbag Olberman.
