A site that relies on the donations of its users is going to be able to afford to hire Keith Olbermann? You're kidding, right?

That being said, I don't trust this article, either. I wouldn't be surprised if KO has approached ESPN. From his Twitters and appearance on Craig Ferguson's show, I get the impression that he really misses being able to spend more time on baseball. Whether or not ESPN has outright reject him remains to be seen. This story was posted on Yahoo, and they can't be trusted.

If he wanted to do that, he'd start his own forum. GoCubsGo Mar 2013 #13

If he wanted to, he could. But I don't think he wants to become a left 'Glen Beck'.... marble falls Mar 2013 #14
