Today's Worst Person

I watch Keith Olbermann regularly, and I recommend his show to you. It has some really lame aspects to it, but for the most part I enjoy it.

Last night we had to give him his moment, as he was one of the very few people in the world who predicted that the Giants would win the Super Bowl. Not only did he make that prediction, but he made it based on the ability of Eli Manning to create fourth-quarter comebacks. So it’s fitting enough that he give himself a minor shoulder injury patting himself on the back.

But he wasn’t willing to settle for that. Oh, no. Manning, according to Olbermann, made not one but two fourth quarter comebacks.

Give me a break you self-adulatory egomaniac. The go ahead score with eleven minutes left was barely into the fourth quarter and was not the result of any kind of hurry-up offensive playmaking. You can’t settle for being right, you egotistical idiot, you have to be some kind of hyper-right.

And then you have to carry your anti-Fox crusade into the sporting arena.

In case you didn’t see the show last night, Olbermann created some kind of fairy tale about Brady’s ankle having been a seriously hampering influence throughout the game. Olbermann claimed that Brady could not either plant or pivot on the ankle and that he saw it clearly as he watched the game.
"I saw it" he said, and then proceeded to blast Fox for not saying anything about it during the broadcast of the game.

Fox didn’t say anything about it because it didn’t happen. I didn’t see it. No one I have talked to saw it. Not one sportswriter in any publication I have read has written a single word about Tom Brady’s ankle. Not one single teammate has said a single word about Tom Brady’s ankle.

Keith Olbermann is the only one who saw it, because Keith Olbermann made it up. He invented it out of his fevered imagination in order to promote his personal, maniacal vendetta against Fox News Corp.

And in so doing he belittles the accomplishment of the New York Giants, in effect saying that they won because their defense was playing against an understrength Patriots team. Shame on you, sir!
