I checked sports and news, and jouirnalism threads, and didn't see anything on this. If it's a dp, sorry, but someone must have written one of those coded titles.

Can we hope for these two to be locked in a room, to battle to it out, and neither survive?

Sure. But only if we can throw Glen Beck and a wingnut to be named later into the deal. :D
 
Reading Olbermann's diss of Simmons, and Simmons Twitter retort, it was one of the few times I agreed with them both.

Either Hondo is dyslexic, or he's a bit of a deviant & it was a Freudian slip.

dp= double post. Standard lingo on a couple of other boards I've seen.
 
Don't know about Simmons, but let me weigh in on Olbermann-----any of you out there who hate and diss on Beck, an opposite and equal reaction is warranted Olbermann. I can't possibly believe that he believes everything he says. Just loves to yank people's chains, and he gets paid very well for it.
 
I heard Simmons on Carolla's podcast awhile back and he seems a lot more likable than he does in print.

I'm no fan of Olbermann, but this comparison is...too kind to Glenn Beck. Olbermann is an egotist, no question, but he doesn't read diary entries to his guests on the air, and he doesn't choke up when introducing them...

Also, Olbermann doesn't pander to the lowest common denominator.
