We interrupt the normally scheduled Obama sucks thread on a breaking matter. Far left Progressive sports caster and failed pundit, Keith Olbermann once again has meltdown. Although he makes valid points in criticism the acts of Penn State students turning a charity event into festival. Olbermann goes overboard and gets personal.

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – ESPN has suspended Keith Olbermann for his controversial remarks about Penn State on Twitter.

On Twitter, Olbermann got into it with students and fans over the school’s annual pediatric cancer fundraiser called “Thon.”

[…]

A student sent Olbermann a tweet saying “We Are!” with a link to the news on the Thon.

That’s when Olbermann responded “pitiful.”

That led to multiple tweet to several people including these:

Olbermann-Pitt Olbermann-Pitt2 Olbermann-Pitt3

ESPN suspended Olbermann over his actions on Twitter and put out a statement.

We are aware of the exchange Keith Olbermann had on Twitter last night regarding Penn State. It was completely inappropriate and does not reflect the views of ESPN. We have discussed it with Keith, who recognizes he was wrong. ESPN and Keith have agreed that he will not host his show for the remainder of this week and will return on Monday. The annual tradition of THON and the efforts of the students of Penn State to fight pediatric cancer should be applauded.

Even when Olbermann has a point, he acts like a jerk.

With the departure of Hank Williams, Jr., ESPN has already selected the music which will precede their Monday Night Football telecast, as the Detroit Lions host the Chicago Bears in an NFC North Division matchup. This will be an exciting game to watch, as The Lions are 4-0 going in.
The video…


And the guy who gets to ask…”Are you ready for some Football?” Why it’s none other than Barry Sanders!

Sanders spilled the beans on Twitter Thursday. As for future MNF games, ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz said that “This is the format we’ll likely use the remainder of the season. We haven’t made any decisions beyond that.”
As long-suffering Lions fan and PFT.com contributor Michael David Smith wrote earlier Friday, “Regardless of what you think of Williams’ comments and ESPN’s response to those comments, we can all agree on this: There’s no one better than Barry Sanders to welcome America to football in Detroit.”

Ah yes…He Who QUIT The Lions! Great choice, ESPN!
