Keith Olbermann Sums Up the Arrogance of New Yorkers

I am not generally a fan of Mr. Olbermann because he comes off as arrogant himself. But he nails it and sums up my general feeling of our neighbors to the north in New York City. The insulting way New Yorkers think and their belief that they are better, smarter, or more important than anyone outside of New York makes me ill. It's one reason I don't trust the owner of our basketball team the Philadelphia 76ers, one Joshua Harris. One day it could be the Newark New Jersey Sixers. He does own the New Jersey Devils hockey team too. But that's a story for another day. The bottom line is this: Soccer will never be a popular sport among Americans no matter what the New York Times says. Any sport that ends with a tie and everyone is OK with it, is a sport that's not for me. My apologies to the Sons of Ben and fans of the Philadelphia Union. Your stadium in Chester is awesome.

By the way Tony Bruno of 97.5 The Fanatic makes a regular Friday appearance on the Keith Olbermann show. So all in all Mr. Olbermann can't be all bad. Tony's take on the DeSean Jackson situation with the Philadelphia Eagles from a few weeks ago is spot on. See both videos below.

Atlanta Falcons Asante Samuel Rips into Eagles Head Coach Andy Reid

Even after a disappointing 30 to 17 lost to the Atlanta Falcons, I feel the Philadelphia collection of sports writers and media gave cornerback Asante Samuel too much airtime. Yes of course everyone is looking for a story, but it was overkill. The former Eagles player was a little miffed about being dissed by Andy after the game.




Reminds me of another legendary rant by another spoiled overpaid athlete.
