I e-mailed as well, saying I wouldn’t watch as long as he was on. And I didn’t.

I really, really, hope this is true. I always had to change the channel to avoid this dolt.

So will he be gone from all NFL broadcasts, I wonder? What a blessing!

I’ve got a feeling somebody might have been listening. Sports and politics do not and SHOULD NOT mix. Olbermann is a DNC shill.

Why on earth would they take some guy who actually went to an aggie college off the air? He must have learned something about football, in between milking goats and and germinating soy beans...

;>)

No I am not kidding. But it is a free country, you can certainly give your money to people who consider you garbage if you want.

I gotta concede though. Olbermann is a helluva sports anchor. Say what you want about his leftist politics but the guy knows his sports.

Not sure how reliable this guy is but I refuse to watch the NBC pre-game show while Olbermann is on it

My neither. And I have emailed the network and sponsors saying as much. I imagine they know he is hurting advertising revenue.

Maybe the new owner Comcast is starting to exert their will? Perhaps this means the end of the stupid “green” week on NBC where they turn off the lights in the studio? I’ve never seen anything more stupid.

Actually - like others here - I turned him off at half time and at the end of the game. I can’t stand the man and hope this is the beginning of him being totally removed from the airwaves.

I’m sure with you on that!! I refused to watch it at all, and I missed more than one kickoff by being late to change the channel just to be sure I would not hear that reprobate’s voice, or any of his snotty comments.

Best thing to happen to televised football since Lawrence Taylor ended Joe Theismann’s career live one Sunday in 1985...
