    Keith Olbermann Returning to ESPN

    He'll have a nightly show on ESPN 2.

    Good --- bad?

    Olbermann is unquestionably brilliant. A certified genius.

    Unfortuately, he is also a complete liberal prikk. So for that I hate his guts.

    Democrats are looked down upon now in life mainly because they support the lazy socialist type of America we live in. Les ...Colin Cowerd is 50x smarter than Olber.

    Colin is brilliant. I'm a fan of Cowherd.

    All those guys are brilliant. Most people don't realize that there's only a handful of people in the world capable of doing what these guys do....and do very well.

    only ignorant buffoons can relate to him. never taken this idiot seriously ever since he picked the colts to beat the saints in the sb...... his reasoning for backing the colts: "the saints play indoors and colts played in miami that season (site of sb)." uh, colts also play indoors and saints also played in miami that season.

    A longtime ESPN staffer who works in management estimated Fox Sports will pay Thompson about $900,000 for her first year, and that Fox Sports Live anchors would earn between $300,000-$600,000 per year, depending on the specific talent. "From what I've seen. Fox is paying ridiculous money," said an ESPN management source with knowledge of talent salaries.

    Jay Onrait and Dan O’Toole, who since 2005 have formed a popular, smart and irreverent anchor team for TSN’s SportsCentre, Canada’s most-watched sports news program, join FOX Sports as the primary highlight team for FOX SPORTS LIVE, FOX Sports 1’s flagship news, opinion and highlights program airing nightly at 11:00 PM ET
    Bill Raftery, the legendary college basketball announcer who has been calling games on ESPN – primarily, Big Monday – for years, is leaving for Fox Sports 1.
