Olbermann makes fun of concussed Edwards(Bill's QB - more of a shot against Palin)
Edited on Mon Oct-06-08 09:52 AM by JonLP24
This article is slanted against Olbermann, however I know he said it and wanted to see some of your comments.

He made fun of Buffalo QB Trent Edwards on Sunday, who was knocked out of the Bills-Cardinals game with a head injury.

Edwards was leveled by Arizona safety Adrian Wilson, early in the Bills loss to the Cardinals. He suffered a severe concussion and had to leave the game.

While reading over video over a shot of a disoriented Edwards, Olbermann joked that the quarterback was thinking, "I can see Russia from here."

That was some kind of shot at Sarah Palin as well, the Republican VP candidate.

(From here the article criticizes Olbermann for being out of line, do you think Keith was out of line?)

1. It was a well deserved shot against someone that doesn't deserve to be a VP

2. Tim Russert's going to haunt him for that

:P

edit: it's not like RW announcers never inject politics into football. Once when the Pats were driving on Monday Night Football in 2004, Al Michaels somehow managed to work "Kerry" and "flip-flop" into the call!
