Keith Olbermann Is Still A Turkey – update

by

Update: This is why one should always make screenshots of the Tweets that are as wrong as Olbermann’s original Tweet. Tweets have a tendency to disappear into the ether, but it’s still good to have one’s instincts sustained.

Here’s Olbermann’s mea culpa.

Keith Olbermann is back (for the sixth time) at ESPN…. How stupid are they? Answer. Pretty ‘effing stupid.

ESPN is trying to go younger, but it’s still OK with “the olds,” as millennials would say.

The sports media giant wants more of 59-year-old ratings machine Keith Olbermann, who just signed a new wide-ranging deal with the network.

Keith Olbermann Is Still A Turkey

Keith Olbermann is back (for the sixth time) at ESPN…. How stupid are they? Answer. Pretty ‘effing stupid.

ESPN is trying to go younger, but it’s still OK with “the olds,” as millennials would say.

The sports media giant wants more of 59-year-old ratings machine Keith Olbermann, who just signed a new wide-ranging deal with the network.

Here’s what Keith said about his new contract, though technically he’s been on air plenty since January: “Adding stuff like being a rookie 59-year old play-by-play guy, plus the Rip Van Winkle of SportsCenter, only adds to the smorgasbord.”

Olbermann, the former left-leaning MSNBC host, will guest anchor some editions of SportsCenter for what he says is his sixth tour of duty at the Disney owned network.

And Mayor Rahm is Pissed…the ‘fix’ was in.

ABC News reports, “‘Empire’ actor Jussie Smollett charges dropped; Chicago mayor and top cop furious, as prosecutor admits he believes TV star fabricated attack.”

In a stunning move, prosecutors in Chicago dropped all charges against “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett on Tuesday despite acknowleging Smollet fabricated a street attack on himself in an attempt to get a pay raise.

“We stand behind the investigation and the facts revealed,” said Joe Magats, the first assistant state attorney in Illinois, who took over the case when his boss, State Attorney Kim Foxx, recused herself from the probe after it surfaced that she had been in touch with Smollett’s family.

“We believe he did what he was charged with doing,” Magats said in an interview with ABC station WLS-TV in Chicago.

Asked again whether he believes Smollett fabricated the incident, Magats replied, “yes.”

Here are a few of our favorite Jussie Smollett memories.
