Probably a fairly split opinion of KO, but I'm a fan and am excited to see him on there.

Never seen him do sports before but cool nonetheless. I'll probably be tuning in to anything NFL-related so I'll no doubt be seeing this.

Bob Costas, Keith Olbermann, Cris Collinsworth. I am loving this crew.

His voice is pretty money, stoked about that.

He's on Dan Patrick's Radio Show for an hour everyday, where they talk sports (most of the time). He was obviously a longtime SportsCenter anchor before a falling out with ESPN.

Nice.

Great! Another high-profile talking head to espouse silly sports clich

I wonder how long it takes Olbermann to reference a minor league baseball player from the 1970's on an NFL pre-game show.

I still wish Sportscenter wouldn't have let him go. I used to love the "That's deep and I don't think it's playable" references..

I remember one instance, some1 hit a BOMB, the camera zooms in on the players face, and Keith goes "Look at his eyes," it takes a pause then he says "they're looking FAR away." It's hilarious if you actually heard him say it.

I enjoyed his stuff on sports center back in the day. But hes like ehh...now, kinda burnt out from him. Same with most of the Current/former sports center guys. They pop up everywhere now days.
