Ok...It's not one of the Real Countdowns...Forget I mentioned it.

Bob Costas to Keith on coming over for halftime to give a Special Commentary on Michael Vick (if he, Keth, can write it by then)...

"This is network, Keith. We can send a car. You don't have to hitchhike."

It got more like the real thing at the end.

Olbermann still rocks...but I don't know if this performance is going to put him on Broadcast TV.

I wish!

Did Collinsworth (a known Repug, as I recall) sound genuinely testy about something Keith said or had done earlier on the show? I can't remember what right now, but Costas seemed to be giving Collinsworth a disapproving look from then on. I don't know Costas's politics and I'm not sure I read that part right, though.

If Collingsworth was the talking head with Costas on the sports set, he asked Olbermann late in the show if "Rush Limbaugh was really the worst person in the world? Really? Are you sure about that?"

Wingnut alert...

C'mon Chris, even someone without cable television (such as me) knows that Keith Olbermann's "worst person in the world" is more often than not Falafel Boy over on the Faux channel. And you know what, that sounds pretty accurate to me.

And Costas replied in the spirit of the gag that the honor only lasts until the next day.

I can't find it on the innertubes, but I thought I remember Collinsworth mentioned for a congressional run as a Repug some time back. Maybe it was another former receiver.
