Some Reaction to Keith Olbermann’s Return to ESPN2

Working on a story that will appear in Awful Announcing on the return of Keith Olbermann to ESPN2. In the interim, I’ll provide you with some Twitter reaction from some of Keithy’s former and upcoming ESPN colleagues. Interesting to see who have tweeted.

Here’s MLB Network’s and NBC Sports Radio’s Brian Kenny who worked with Olbermann at ESPN/ESPN Radio.

ESPN hockey maven John Buccigross had this to say.

SportsCenter anchor Chris McKendry kept it simple.

Baseball Tonight’s Karl Ravech was genuinely happy to hear of Olbermann’s return.

Randy Scott who has not worked with Olbermann shares his enthusiasm for Keithy’s return.

Olbermann referenced this during his media conference call, that he told his childhood friend, Chris Berman about his return at the MLB All-Star Game on Tuesday.

And lastly, we have the reaction of NESN’s Jack Edwards who worked with Olbermann at ESPN in the 1990’s. Jack is always colorful.

I’m sure there will be more reaction down the line. With Keith, there always is.
