Yeah I think I’ve heard of Zanesville. Yeah I wasn’t knocking Olbermann’s abilities as a sportscaster. He is a very intelligent guy and as I said I often agree with him not just on politics but sports, he was for example spot on about the Derek Jeter stuff a couple years ago which got him a lot of crap but he’s got that smugness that can annoy people. Didn’t know Dan was a basketball recruit. Interesting. I really like his Just My Type feature in SI where he has a little chat with an athlete or coach.

I was double checking. I had the college thing wrong. He was recruited to play at Eastern Kentucky and then he apparently transferred to Dayton, but I don’t think he played ball for them. He did go into broadcast journalism.

Also share another similar experience with him. Wiki says his father died of cancer when he was 25. I lost mine to same at 24.

And he is a rocker. Huge Led Zep fan.
