Guest Former Member 207 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I heard this rumor on the radio the other day, and I don't know how factual is it, but at Russert's funeral, Olbermann and Chris Matthews were openly campaigning for the Meet the Press host's position. In fact, it was said if Olbermann doesn't get the spot, he'll leave NBC. In fact, here's the audio clip, and from all places, from one of the Los Angeles' sports radio stations. The show in question does a daily countdown of the day's top sports stories (with a little news and entertainment mixed in). http://www.am570radio.com/cc-common/mediaplayer/player.html?redir=yes&mps=AM570KLAC.php&mid=http://a1135.g.akamai.net/f/1135/18227/1h/cchannel.download.akamai.com/18227/podcast/LOSANGELES-CA/KLAC-AM/080620%20Loose%20Cannons%20Hour%202.mp3?CPROG=PCAST&CPROG=RICHMEDIA&MARKET=LOSANGELES-CA&NG_FORMAT=sports&NG_ID=klac1150am&OR_NEWSFORMAT=Sports&OWNER=&SERVER_NAME=www.am570radio.com&SITE_ID=727&STATION_ID=KLAC-AM&TRACK= Forward to the 14:45 mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAVY 10 Fan 232 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 So much for Tom's (virtually non-existent) retirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrfRptr 3 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Brokaw is the safe replacement plus it gives a nice transition to a new, permanent host. Creates a buffer so the "new guy/gal" isn't the rebound moderator. Sort of like when CBS used Schieffer, safe-move but never permanent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
