Exactly.

Olbermann and Silver are two of the most hated exemplars of liberal media
among red meat conservatives. I expect that crowd will already be
hyperventilating over KO coming back to ESPN (no doubt we will hear a lot
about how they fired Rush). Pairing him with Silver is pouring grease on
that fire.

Like I say, the two of them are well matched, quite apart from politics;
they both combine a kind of old school love of sports, and especially
baseball, with a more cerebral approach, and they are both quite capable of
talking for hours about baseball without once veering into politics. But I
am worried that pairing these guys up is going to lead to demands to add
George Will to Baseball Tonight.
