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

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.

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...
