What's with this little tiff between Bob Costas and Kieth Olberman??
 

I notice Dan Patrick is involved at times. Costas always little digs on Olberman. Just wondering what started this little fued???

Ford guy
vs
Nissian guy

If I have to look forward to a can of chunky soup for supper
i might as well end it all now

Olbermann is a worthless ****ing douche?

Costas is a McCain guy

Olberman holds Costas sheet up in the air where he cant reach it and makes him jump for it.

okay
that was funny

Olberman took Costas last doughnut

Yes. Olberman is a difficult assbag. That's what I've heard from more than one source.

Costas supports McCain??

I think it's because Costas is one of the eminent sportscasters/journalists of the past few decades, and Olbermann is a slobbering goon

I met Olberman two years ago. I found him to be an upstanding human being. Polite, quick witted and funny.

Perhaps it's because Olberman has about as much business on that show as Dennis Miller did in the MNF booth.

:LOL:

Maybe he's jealous because KO is one of the few sets of initials that is cooler than BC.

FYP

Good catch. I actually like Dennis Miller.

SO what the heck happened to Olberman?

He used to be so cool back on Sportcenter back in the day.

Let's see. Costas is intelligent and Olberman isn't.

I have no other idea.

This.

Dennis Miller was the worst addition to MNF ever. Absolute garbage.

Yep.

This thread really should be in DC.

Olberman should have stuck to sports then at least we may not have ever found out what an idiot he can be.

I'm sure his political leanings have nothing to do with your opinion.

Costas loves 5 dollar footlongs.

Bob Costas is a very, very good sports guy - Olbermann is a self centered ass hat; at least he didn't go as far as ultra ass hat Dan Patrick and use Consort for his hair, though. They are still trying to recapture their early years and it's just not even a little entertaining. I am so pissed at NBC for bringing both of those guys to the show; seriously I don't watch ESPN for many reasons, Dan Patrick was one of them.

****ing ass holes

Why? Neither one knows jack about politics.:D

Let's dust off the resume of Keith "Uberclown" Olbermann.
Years ago he left ESPN when ESPN was a hot item, the move surprised many in the biz, but Keith felt, "doing sports" was beneath his talent and ego. So what happens? He goes out and gets the finger from the big 3 and his dreams of going "National" go down in flames along with his career, nice move. Today on channel 348, he has his little show to vent that the "man" and the "system" are holding him back, lack of talent not withstanding. Good times...
As far as Costas goes, I have it on good authority that Keith spends +$100,000.00 on baseball cards and memorabilia, and he probably out-bid Bob on a Mickey Mantle rookie card on E-Bay or something equally as important.

Olberman started out as a sportscaster on ESPN (with Dan Patrick). Dennis Miller had no experience as a sportscaster before MNF. No comparison.

Bob Costas is a total dick. Napoleon complex.

I find it odd that people liked Olbermann when he was on Sportcenter, but hate his guts now that they know his political views. Seems pretty shallow to me.

Olbermann and Patrick actually started working together at CNN.

Olberrman seems pretty switched on to me, but then I don't have a Repub/Dem agenda to push.

What do you base this on exactly?

I don't know what his political agenda is, I just think he' proven himself not to be funny and is just a bore now, much like Chris Berman, except Keith has a worse attitude

The worst thing that happened to ESPN was when Craig Kilborn got a better gig and his own late night TV show. Everyone else at ESPN thought they could do the same, so they all became hack comedians. At least Kilborn has talent and is truly funny... unlike the other douchebags who are legends in their own minds. As for Costas, I used to like the guy but he seems to have become a caricature of himself.

I don't like Olberman. He bashes FOX because he says they're biased and right-leaning (which is fine if that's what he thinks), but he fails to see the hypocrisy of his own obvious left-leaning agenda. If you want to slam FOX news, fine- go ahead, but don't pretend you're any different.

I think they're both fine sports news readers. As far as why they don't like each other, it probably has something to do with an argument about some old baseball player from 50 years ago that nobody else cares about.

Because Costas absolutely blows.... KO rocks...

Was he a smarmy, egomanial prick back then too, or did he mature into that role?

yeah. A victim of the industry.

I'm glad Costas is above that BS.

And you base this upon??? Oh right, you base this opinion on the same thing you base most of your opinions on... abso-****ing-lutely nothing.

You and Nick really are a match made in heaven.

Now, an opinion based on slightly more than nothing... one of my best friends in college grew up a few blocks from Costas in St Louis. He only met him a few times, but said he was nice as hell.

I will go on record... If you honestly don't like Bob Costas, I am amazed that you have the functional intelligence to get online, much less read this post.

I can understand the people who like the hack that is Keith Olberman... but NOT liking Costas seems pretty outrageous.

Really? You think the only reason people dislike Olbermann is his politics?

The guy is an annoying prick and I'm willing to bet that is why a majority of his haters hate him.

To be honest, I have never been much on either of them.

I have met Bob, he lived next to my old company Owner.... very nice guy. Seems fair on reporting (maybe why he's got this far). Throws a nice charity event at the Fox Theatre every year.

Hes always been smarmy. Its just that in his ESPN days he had better writers and no politics involved.

He based it on WPI being told to go **** themselves when WPI wanted to interview Costas

Good for Bob he knows a crappy Internet based rag when he sees it. Right there with a blog.

LOL...no...but you should know we have Merril Hoge on our radio show every week. He's a nice guy, concussions and all.

You are just happy to lick his drool.

DING! DING! DING!

WE HAVE A WINNER!

DT

Merril Hoge, huh? When you have to name drop Merril Hoge you know you're really stretching for something.
