Keith Olbermann Has No Idea Who Chauncey Billups Is
By Brett Edwards

Keith Olbermann is now the poster boy for left wing political news commentary, via his Countdown show which airs nightly on MSNBC. But it didn’t used to be that way. Olbermann spent over 20 years as a sports broadcaster, including five as an anchor on ESPN’s SportsCenter. So it was a little surprising when, as they showed Chauncey Billups at the Gore-Obama rally in Michigan last night, Olbermann went flipping through his notes to try to figure out what team Billups plays for.

Here’s a hint, Keith: the rally’s in Detroit. It’s not like Billups has toiled away in obscurity either, the guy has played in the Eastern Conference Finals for the last six years. I guess Keith is much like the rest of us, in that at times, our real job is all-consuming and leaves us little time to pay attention to sports.
