In an interview with SI.com’s Richard Deitsch, the savior of democracy himself admitted that he read Deadspin. If you’ll recall Deadspin linked to an article I wrote about his nomination to the cast of Football Night in America on NBC. A post where I named him to my list of the top 5 most self-important people in sports. Now none of this means that the Savior reads this blog but I think it goes without saying that my assessment of Olbermann as an ego manic when you consider what Olbermann relayed to Deitsch: that he Googles himself — “probably” once a day is probably pretty spot-on.
Olbermann explains his egomania this way:
“‘I will confess: There is a bookmark for that. I probably do that once a day. There is a lot of stuff out there that is completely untrue and you have to know what is out there and whether you should call a lawyer.’”
So not only is he arrogant enough to Google himself “probably” once a day but he’s also so wildly insecure that anything he sees that isn’t true — he’s got his attorney on Line 1.
I’ve said this before. I don’t necessarily disagree with where Olbermann stands politically but I don’t need that mixed in with my football. The second I hear anything slightly political come out of Olbermann’s mouth on that broadcast I’m turning the channel.
