If you know anything about Keith Olbermann, you know he’s The Worst Person in the World to help ESPN pull out of its social justice spiral and get back on course covering sports. But according to USA Today, The Sultan of Sanctimony, the Colossus of Condescension, is returning to Sports Center as a guest host. And the timing couldn't be any, well, dumber, just a day after the Wall Street Journal published an article titled, “How a Weakened ESPN Became Consumed by Politics.”

Olbermann’s been back at the network doing a variety of odd jobs (light carpentry, cleaning the ladies room, poking through the desks of laid-off producers for unopened snacks -- I kid, I kid.). He’ll be doing radio and making a variety of appearances on network shows.

Must be due to the new ESPN boss. 
ESPN’s new boss is Jimmy Pitaro, a longtime Disney executive

We will see even more socially-conscious (read dumb) moves by ESPN as it is absorbed more and more by the king of social-conscious companies, Disney.

Sportscenter is the worst show on television.  Well, maybe the second worst behind Saturday Night Live.

Keef will go off the rails if not before the NFL season kneegoers act up, then just or shortly there after.
