Colin Cowherd > Keith Olbermann
That's a great segment every night. Everyone will eventually come around on this show.

Oh come on. Both of them are probably raging #######s IRL, but Cowherd has never said a truly thoughtful thing in his life.

I must agree, I have a couple pets that know more about sports than cowdoosh. Absolutely unlistenable.

I'm not a Colin hater. I listen to his show a little almost every day. Sometimes he's very entertaining, sometimes he's an annoying doosh. Par for the course.
He isn't in the same arena as KO. KO might be a pretentious political doosh in his own right, but this show is perfect for him and it shows. His true comfort zone is sports, baseball specifically, and he is great at it.

Yes and yes. If it were a food analogy, Cowturd is Alpo and Keith is prime rib. They aren't in the same galaxy.Mohawk said:

I knew that would get a reaction. 
I still cannot stand Olbermann, regardless.

I can't stand Dennis Miller or Larry the Cable Guy, but I acknowledge the difference.

Goodell's decision was crap but Olbermann does his typical shtick and takes things way over the top.

Olbermann exaggerates topics more than anyone I have ever met or seen on TV in my life. It's truly disgusting, but I guess people watch it somehow. He would have everyone fired at every position in the world if it were up to him because if they use too much toilet paper to wipe their ### or didn't inform the world that they got out of bed 30 seconds too late he would want heads rolling. What a joke.I knew that would get a reaction.

I've changed my mind. After listening to Mr. Pompous A$$- KO- for the past week on the Ray Rice thing, I have gotten so tired of his over the top style of delivery. Who the hell does he think he is saying so and so must go, etc. etc.? While my politics are sort of in line with KO's, his unbridled arrogance is way irritating.

If you follow him on twitter, he has been spending hours each week insulting trolls and nobodies who have done like 200 tweets and have 3 followers. And usually he is condescending, calling them "goober" or "sonny" and correcting their grammatical errors, along with taking cheap shots at their appearance in avatars. I like Keith, but he has come across in those exchanges as a mean-spirited elitist bully. And he got away with it until today.
In this instance, I don't think he read the link to the person he first responded to. He wasn't saying that the those working for the charity were pitiful, but rather the Penn State students, alumni, and supporters were pitiful (although he never explained why he thought that). It was an unnecessary fight that should have been avoided.

"Mean-spirited elitist bully" pretty well defines him and everyone of his political ilk.

Why? Because we defended ourselves from a public figure who made a blanket statement that we were all stupid after someone tweeted him a message about us raising $13M for children's cancer research?

He is so terrible that I assume all of you saying that you like him are trolling.

I remember reading an article in The Nation a while back that compared him to Edward R. Murrow.
Guessing they'd like to have that one back.

What was he saying was pitiful?

I'm going to assume it all comes back to how butthurt and defensive the PSU alumni and students are about the blowback from the Sandusky and Paterno thing.

He clarified that he was calling PSU students pitiful, not the fundraising. Although, I'm not sure how he thought that was better.

It is better in terms of the specificity of the message!He clarified that he was calling PSU students pitiful, not the fundraising. Although, I'm not sure how he thought that was better.

He's prone to having moments of brilliance, but the bad so outweighs the good that it makes his show unwatchable. The only time I pay any attention to him is basically dependent upon this thread being bumped.
Leeroy Jenkins

Right. But why? And how is a one word comment of "pitiful" in response to the fundraising directed at students ok?He clarified that he was calling PSU students pitiful, not the fundraising. Although, I'm not sure how he thought that was better.

When he complained about JoePa getting his wins back, PSUtwitter was looking for a reason to bait him. When that young lady tweeted the results of THON last weekend, it was obvious that it was a "not all Penn State people" tweet. He probably didn't read the link, took the bait and after that it was game on.
It was a dumb thing for him to do, but I get the sense he's a tad insecure as well as elitist and arrogant. A very bad battle for him.

But he's "ONLY BEEN FIRED ONCE IN 35 YEARS!!"@KeithOlbermann: .@dave_seidel Did you learn that at Penn State too? Fired once in 35 years. Sorry to interrupt your stupidity - carry on.
Rescinded suspensions don't count!!
@KeithOlbermann: @bgsmithdc That's also inaccurate. You'll notice that both the suspensions you refer to were rescinded.
Rules don't apply to me!!
@KeithOlbermann: @bgsmithdc The rules you read applied to interns. Contracts supersede them.
