He's Back! Keith Olbermann To Host TBS' Postseason Baseball Coverage...

I'm not a real sports fan, so it is a bit immaterial to me, but many here continue to wonder what is next for KO--here it is...

Keith Olbermann will return to cable television as a host for TBS' in-studio coverage of the Major League Baseball postseason, the Hollywood Reporter said on Wednesday.

Olbermann will lead TBS' studio show from Atlanta, along with analyst Dennis Eckersley, according to THR's Marisa Guthrie. His hosting duties will start in October. Guthrie added, "Sources say the deal has an option for the 2014 postseason as well." Turner Sports also tweeted the announcement on Wednesday.

Olbermann also recently wrapped up a nasty legal battle with Current, which reportedly ended with both sides settling outside of court. A source told Deadline that Olbermann will receive a "a significant payout" from the network.

He's one smart guy, and he's on the right wavelength politically. But I hope they stay on his good side.

I remember a former ESPN co worker with Keith responding when he was asked if Keith burned his bridges there, his answer was no , he didn't blow up his bridges - he napalmed them!
