OMGOSH......just saw Keith Olberman on ESPN......

[a kennedy]

Probably should post this in sports. Was just so happy to see him.... is he back? on ESPN I mean? Damn I miss him on MSNBC. He's part of ESPN'S 40 year anniversary. Wish he'd come back to MSNBC to talk about the shit going on with tRump.

[hlthe2b]

1. Does he ever post anything other than sports on his own twitter feed anymore?

He got burned out on Trump before the horror was even in full force.

[George II]

17. Most of what I see of him on twitter is trying to find homes for abandoned dogs in shelters.

[hlthe2b]

18. Good for him...

[onecaliberal]

24. He tweets to help save shelter pets in jeopardy of being euthanized.

[leftieNanner]

2. Oh Keith! We miss you!

I would be happy if he would start up his online video posts again. Anything!!!

But I have missed seeing him on MSNBC so much. Both he and Jon Stewart are sorely missed!

[CaptYossarian]

22. For all we know, he might post here on DU.

We all use an alias.

[Chellee]

34. Keith??

nt

[CaptYossarian]

36. Yes. I would imagine his pseudonym would be "Snarknado".

[Chellee]

38. Or perhaps... CaptYossarian

Nudge, nudge wink, wink.

It's okay, you can tell me. It's you, isn't it?

No, no, you don't have to say anything. You want to be incognito, I understand.

I won't tell a soul. Mum's the word.

..... I LOVED COUNTDOWN!!!!

But, shhhh....

[CaptYossarian]

40. I wish I were Keith. Sorry.

I'm just a guy somewhere in Wisconsin who would like to get sanity back in our country.

[RhodeIslandOne]

3. He does Sportscenter once a month or so

[a kennedy]

10. I don't like ESPN's sports center......but passing through channels.....I saw Keith.....

he introduced a segment for the 40th anniversary of SPORTS CENTER!!!!! Holy crap they’ve been around for 40 years??? He looked great, just miss him so bad.

[Dennis Donovan]

4. I miss the hell out of him!

He got me thru the Bush years.

[lame54]

5. I hope he is treating his staff well

[underpants]

6. He's been back since May. Yes it's nice to see him back.

[GoCubsGo]

8. Covering baseball, no dobut.

The man is a walking baseball encyclopedia. I like him as a sportscaster as much, if not more than I do him as a political commentator.

[underpants]

11. He's sat in on PTI

Kornheiser has a running joke where he calls him Ken Kevin or Kurt

[donkeypoofed]

7. I wish he was still doing the Resistance videos on utube

I watched every single one and I miss him.

[SeattleVet]

27. Yes, that was an excellent series.

Too bad he backed away from it when he did; he could have continued to be a thorn in tRump's side and kept a decent audience.

[SHRED]

9. Him and Phil Donahue

The good old days at MSNBC

[a kennedy]

12. OMGAWD.....I miss Phil soooooooooooooooo much too.

[Peregrine Took]

13. He does a lot of work for rescue animals on Twitter.

He and others ("Anita&quot post photos of dogs about to be euthanized in kill shelters and you can do a PayPal to try to vote to keep the dog alive so he can be fostered at least.

[Pepsidog]

14. He got me through the Bush years.

[Paladin]

15. I miss him like hell.

He ought to be giving trump a daily dose of outrage.

[George II]

16. He's been back on ESPN for a while now, maybe a year or so? But he only appears intermittantly....

...he doesn't have a regular show.

When on MSNBC, he had the absolutely best political show on any network, I looked forward to him ever night.

Both Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O'Donnell owe their MSNBC careers to him, he strongly promoted them.

[Ilsa]

19. He loves Sports.

Glad he landed doing something he loves. He's been on ESPN since January 2018.

[5starlib]

20. They need to bring him back to MSNBC and dump Chris Hayes

Chris Hayes is a total lightweight compared to Keith.

[a kennedy]

21. No, I say he needs to dump Chris Matthews......ugh.

I like Chris Hayes, he at least let’s his guests TALK.

[redstateblues]

32. Totally. Chris Hayes show is a channel changer.

He doesn’t wear well

[mwooldri]

23. I believe Keith has retired from current affairs...

... and has focused his career on sports presentation.

But he is a quirky guy.... BBC did a podcast series, later aired on BBC radio, called Texting Keith Olbermann... Ros Atkins (host of BBC OS on BBC World News Channel) started receiving texts from KO... Worth a listen...

[EndGOPPropaganda]

25. I think Keith got burned out

it's ok, others can carry the torch till he come sback.

[PJMcK]

26. Keith has always been great, but...

...for an interesting perspective, go to YouTube and watch some of his commentaries from "The Resistance." Some of them haven't aged very well and his predictions about Trump's imminent demise have not come to pass. Quite the opposite, in fact.

Still, he has been a voice of clarity in an overblown media fog.

I miss his commentaries and there really hasn't been anyone to take his place.

[USALiberal]

39. Many here say Trump is done weekly. nt

[OAITW r.2.0]

28. His style of politics didn't work with Obama.

He'd be great on MSNBC in the Trump age, though.

[ecstatic]

29. Yep. I think he's how I discovered MSNBC.

Didn't he have Rachel on as a special commentator back then? And, unfortunately, Tucker Carlson. If I recall correctly.

[redstateblues]

30. I miss "The Worst Person in the World!" segment

Keith is the best

[saidsimplesimon]

31. I miss Olberman.

He is a high maintenance "star" for the management at major news networks. Rumors are sometimes accurate, sometimes not

[MasonDreams]

33. MSNBC is for all past, present, and future wars.

They didn't cover Standing Rock and they did cover an empty podium waiting for trump for 45 min. They told us that they were going to show us Bernie at a stadium, but the corruption $$ killed it at the last minute. The past is gone and we cannot return. TV is castrated. Now ya gotta look 3or4 places online and sort it out. Shultz, Oberman, Donahue all shut out, never to return.

[Grins]

35. He's around. On ESPN with Kornheiser..

...a couple weeks ago. And he was terrific! His vast knowledge of baseball and what he sees in a game (that I missed) just amazes me. LOVE to see him on this time of the sports year.

[ReformedGOPer]

37. I live right in the middle of a red(neck) state. He was the first commentator that made me realize

that W wasn't as beloved as I thought. Without Keith, I don't know how I ever would have gotten through Bush's second term.
