Apparently he's a douche off camera, but I've never understood the hate for him as a studio guy (not talking about PBP).

There are many people in sportscasting I dislike more: Jim Rome, Cowherd (would pierce my eardrums with icepicks before listening to either of them), Olberman, the whole ESPN Affirmative Action Crew (Jemele, Stephen A., etc)

35 years on tv with no privacy. He's always been that pro American guy.

Andre "Bad Moon" Rison is his greatest nickname.

Olberman


I can understand the hatred for the other ESPN personalities but not this guy. Olbermann is unquestionably one of the two or three greatest Sportcenter anchors ESPN's ever had and his sports knowledge is off the charts. The biggest problem with ESPN in recent years is that they've had very few Olbermanns and way too many shock-jock types with dumbass opinions such as Cowherd and Whitlock and Skip Bayless.

I really can't understand how people hate a guy like Berman. He brings the great nicknames of the last 4 decades along with some of the best highlight shows for football & baseball calls-the HR derby.

With that, who out there is better? Or what style is better for an SC Anchor or show host to please the masses?

I don't have a big problem with that clip, or a similar O'Reilly clip from the '80s. They're trying to do something live and people are interfering with their concentration. Berman even apologizes during his rant.

This seems much douchier

He's may have said the words but in contex that definitely wasn't an apology.
