Chef Jim Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 So it's safe to say that nearly 50% that liked him on ESPN in the past will not watch him on ESPN now because of what he becaome on MSNBC. Count me in as one of the 50% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 (edited) So the entire news industry told him to !@#$ off huh? p.s. where's Kilborn these days? Edited July 17, 2013 by KD in CT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Count me in as one of the 50% Its not the 90's. He cannot just "go back to be a sports commentator" He has exposed himself as a bigot time and time again. Shame on ESPN for putting him back on. .

49er Fan Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Works for both parties since he'll be doing the show out of Manhattan. In Bristol, CT he hated it and a lot of people hated him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dante Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I think maybe he is suited to do one of those daytime Maury type shows. All he's really good for. It's likely someone would take a swing at him in that format as well. Which would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Dan Patrick and Olberman were a classic Sportscenter team. Bob Meese and Charlie Steiner too. What is Kilburn up to these days? That dude was funny. Those were the good old days of ESPN. Now everything is overproduced. I don't understand how anyone can !@#$ up Sportscenter, but they did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Count me in as one of the 50% Never understood why people let the political leanings of entertainers affect their opinion of their day job. For example, I'm not a fan of Alec Baldwin's political leanings but love those Capitol One commercials. And I know people that refuse to listen to Ted Nugent's songs based on his politics. Personally, I love both the music and politics of The Nuge. But his politics doesn't affect my opnion of his music and his music doesn't affect what I think of his politics. That said, now that Olbertard is returning to ESPN I will not be watching that network. Not because of Olbertard, but because I stopped watching ESPN long ago. There's better sports coverage online Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
