You and I are in agreement on this one.  It seems that others are
beginning to speak out as well.  Olbermann is now history.  Apparently,
he is considering Court TV.  This really does not surprise me.  He never
struck me as much of a sports fan, which was painfully obvious if you
watched him on SC.
I much prefer the SC hosts who have played it straight for the most
part, like Robin Roberts.

How so?  I have been watching his moves closely, and the only thing that
he has done is bring in "his kind of players", which is the same thing
that every new coach with some clout does.
He traded for Heath Shuler and drafted a bunch of guys that nobody else
wanted.  Since Shuler is unproven, and the other guys have yet to play a
down in the NFL, how can you say that Ditka has improved the team?

Lots more with the recent signings of Perriman and Rison.

I did not see much in way of goon play from either team in that series.
... Ask yourself, how would Bugs Bunny have handled this?
