in the same time slot

but instead of a full recap of the day in sports

which you can get on SC

it's Olbermann doing his dry, more intelligent than you humor

which stopped being funny right about the time Dennis Miller was on MNF

ironic his show is on opposite the Daily Show

I was hoping ESPN could introduce a new format to deliver highlights, etc...

but this show sucks

and move on. This is such an insignificant issue

>

I don't understand y'all sometimes

Its like you have zero attention span

Not everything has to be gut busting funny to
be entertaining

His "former sports journalist" take on things is
pretty refreshing

Its a dry, sorta cynical take on sports from a guy
who has perspectives on a lot of shit, can draw analogies
of various kinds. He interviews really well, too, gets
different conversations from athletes than normal sports
journalists

O_E: "Acts like an asshole and posts with imperial disdain"




"I ORBITs the solar system, listenin..."

(C)Keith Murray, "

It's eloquent, insightful, meaningful and delivered
in an entertaining way. Media culture has really made
it hard for people to appreciate average to excellent
commentary.

There is no evidence or stat that makes it funny or not. You find it funny or you don't. Someone else also does or does not, there is no swaying someone one way or the other in humor.

Seems simple but feels necessary to say

painful to watch anymore outside of getting scores/highlights if you really need em which u could just get from the internet or ESPN News.

ether the shit out of Pete Prisco, like he did here

For all of his flaws and quirks and "NOT funny," Keith Olbermann is always welcome on my television, for shit like ^ that

But Zootown, black people and media, so...

i find him way played out and it shows me how desperate and how much ESPN has fallen off. if you were going to bring somebody back, then why not Roy Firestone? up close was cool.

diametric opposites politically.

There's a better chance you'll see Sean Hannity on CurrenTV or MSNBC.

for you and Y2

does that validate my opinion

And so is the opinion of someone who finds it funny.

Have you ever found a movie funny that someone else did not?

Has the other person ever found one funny that you did not?

Neither of you were wrong, humor is subjective, not scientific.

funny
entertaining
interesting
you could argue somebody else disagrees

and post your replies in half the threads on this site, as most are based on an individual's opinion

but what I was alluding to in a previous reply

who exactly is watching this?

out west, he's in the 11PM time slot

against SC and The Daily Show

which I would assume are drawing the entirety of his base

instead of being a hybrid of those formats

i.e., pick a handful of sports headlines, and offer deeper insight

and lengthier segments on a few stories, maybe throw in an interview for additional reference

from what I saw of his show, he's not really offering anything different from SC

other than his brand of humor, and maybe an occasional remark or 30 second story that wouldn't make SC

his show feels like charity

For example, sad is sad. There will always be people who are emotional robots and don't find something sad, but most people can come to agreement when a movie or a scene is sad.

Same can be said for something being exciting, suspenseful, surprising (again all of these can have outliers who either refuse to say it is these things or for some reason don't find it those things, but there is a generally accepted definition of what is sad or exciting in a movie)

Humor does not follow these rules, humor is very individual, there is no universal humor. Nothing that is just generally accepted as funny, it's 100% an individual taste.

Anyway, not really relevant to sports, just whenever people start arguing about if something is funny or not it's one of those things that is extra fruitless because they are both right.

he gets suspended, and not even a ripple

http://deadspin.com/espn-suspends-keith-olbermann-for-penn-state-tweets-1687751753

he is irrelevant.

but it was a fundraiser for pediatric cancer for christ sake.

nothing to do with anything except raising money to find a cure.

i was somewhat a fan but he loses major points for that. dicchead.
