This has been out for days. Speculation in some of the other articles I read over the weekend (I believe one came from the Hollywood Reporter) was that ESPN wanted him to stop being mean to Roger Goodell and he refused.

It's probably part that. Awful Announcing also had a good article saying that his and BS's being let go were also big parts of major cutbacks by ESPN. FS1 is also making cutbacks. The rising costs for rights to broadcast live sports is really affecting networks.

I can see TBS hiring him to be the studio host for their baseball coverage. Olbermann would actually be a welcome addition because the baseball coverage for TBS is horrific. It would give them a major credibility boost if they hire him.
