Is that really want football fans want?  Some liberal wise ass getting cute during the game?

Heck, is that what the NFL wants?  You’d think that a group like the NFL would want coverage its games to remain somewhat non-partisan, no?

Discussion question: How much of Olbermann’s rage stems from his history as a sports journalist and his ardent desire to be taken seriously as a political commentator?  There’s nothing wrong with being a sports journalist, and some have risen the genre to an art form (Costas, Cosell, etc.), but I think a lot of journalists who cover sports see themselves as inferior to their “real news” counterparts and thus walk around with a big chip on their shoulder because of it.

Olbermann being the poster boy for this disorder.
