I assume you don’t live in Los Angeles, Keith Overbite used to do the sports here on CBS 2. He was a whack job even then, I heard stories about how the journalists there couldn’t stand him, said he was insane. They fired him and sent him on his way. He was an idiot then and a bigger idiot now.
Hell, I thought he was on third tier channel 13. He got the can tied to him, and somehow found a fellow traveler at ESPN, fellated him, and got himself a gig.
The rest is history....
You are correct, he cracked his skull on a NY subway in 1980. I had thought it was much more recent. That fact explains what you saw of him in LA, and, thankfully, exonerates his late mother and her baby-handling skills.
