And by Al Gore, and Company! I pledge not to take this into politics, other that to mention Current TV, has latest employer, was co-founded by Al Gore.

I never liked Olberman, even during his ESPN days. He's just unpleasant, and obviously doe not get along with anyone. Here's a snippet.

In a statement, Current TV founders Al Gore and Joel Hyatt said the network was "founded on the values of respect, openness, collegiality, and loyalty to our viewers. Unfortunately these values are no longer reflected in our relationship with Keith Olbermann and we have ended it."

What a slam.

I can't believe that ESPN, MSNBC (twice), and Al Gore, Joel Hyatt and Current TV execs are all that big of deceptive, bridge-burning dooshbags.

Someone should hire Kieth and this Scott Mesterhiem from Bering Sea Gold to do a show to the Death together. As big as these Gold Shows are these days Kieth would revitalize his career if he was to kill this Scott Guy from Nome.

Scotty had quite the blow up mining for Gold this year and from what it seems he's banned from being hired for next Season's Gold Mining up there. If someone hires him the Community seems to be ready to have the Pied Piper run him out of Town....lol

Kieth doesn't seem to be much more popular so misery loves company....maybe they can make it work....lol

I didn't like him on SportsCenter either. He always seemed like he was trying to show how intelligent he was....which nobody watching SportsCenter really cares about. I never watched him after he left ESPN, but knew he had been fired from MSNBC.

From what I've read, he had signed a 5 year/ 5 million dollar deal with CurrentTV. Not sure how, or if, he'll get what's left, but I'm not crying for him.

Deal I saw was 5 year 50 Mil.

50 is correct, it was a typo. There isn't really a difference between 5 and 50 million, is there? :D

I remember when ESPN2 1st started....Keith and Stuart Scott were the original anchors......man did it suck....so one wonders....how in the hell does Stuart Scott still remain on ESPN with all the best gigs? He sucked as much as Keith.

Are all of you on crack? Dan Patrick and Keith Olberman were the best anchor combo ESPN ever had. They were both excellent at their job AND they worked well together. They've been trying to recapture that magic ever since.

Say what you want about his politics or even his personality apart from sports, but he was perfect in that situation.

A quote from the movie Tommy Boy provides the insight and clarity of my opinion of Keith.

But I'm going to be honest with you. I don't like you, probably never will. You're a smug unhappy little man and you treat people like they were idiots.
