Former “SportsCenter” anchor and cable news host Keith Olbermann has found a new home — Turner Sports.

Olbermann will serve as a studio host for Major League Baseball coverage on TBS during the 2013 postseason, Turner Sports announced Wednesday. He replaces Matt Winer, who hosted studio coverage the past three seasons.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Olbermann’s deal with Turner has an option for the 2014 postseason.

Turner Sports’ acquisition of Olbermann is quite the surprise. While it was clear that Olbermann would likely have to return to sports after several stints in cable news, previous reporting by The Big Lead indicated he might land at ESPN.

He was good back in the early 90's.

I don't care about his politics but he was good at ESPN all those years ago.

He did seem different though when he had that brief stint on Sunday Night Football for NBC. Maybe not as funny?

he will last one month...then get fired for being an a-hole.

I like Olbermann...but he'd suck to work with.

Dude seems like one of the biggest real life assholes in all of media, but he's quite good at sports.

If I ever see him or Jack Cafferty IRL, it's fricking on.

Everyone that's worked with him that's been asked has said he's truly a pure a-hole. Not a kind bone in his body.
