ave you been watching the Sunday night football pre-game show on NBC, "Football Night in America"? It's a stupid name, but that's not what I'm going to expound upon here. This is what I'm wondering: is it just me, or does Chris Collinsworth haaaaaaate Keith Olbermann?
Maybe I'm imagining it, but it seems like every time Olbermann says anything, Collinsworth replies snidely/angrily (thinly disguised as "jokingly." We've all done that, right? We have a really annoying aquaintance, everything they say just cheeses us off, but it's not socially acceptable to call them an idiot to their face, so you pretend to inject humor into . . . calling them an idiot).
Also, I'm 75% sure that when Costas threw it over to "Olber-time," Collinsworth actually sneered. Sneered.
So, has anybody else noticed this? If not, keep your eyes open, and maybe you will.

Olbermann is a rabid left winger, who isn't that entertaining. Maybe that has something to do with it?
In Chris Collingsworth's defense, Keith Olbermann is absolutely terrible on that show. Self-righteous indignation over politics is one thing, equally smug/misinformed comments about sports are just plain annoying.
Collingsworth and Olbermann are two of the most pompous, grating, self-important people in the world. You notice the show keeps them in seperate rooms. If these two men were ever in the same place with Brent Musberger, the universe would explode.
