On Wednesday, longtime sports broadcaster Brent Musburger announced that he will (finally) be retiring. The 77-year-old was with CBS and CBS sports from the late 1960’s until 1990. Upon his firing from the network he took up with ABC Sports and ESPN, for whom he has worked ever since.
You want to know how I know that? It’s a combination of general knowledge of the sports media landscape and a quick Google search. It was all very easy.
That’s why it’s unacceptable that Musburger seems to be completely unaware of former coworker Keith Olbermann’s crossover into serious political coverage for mainstream news outlets.
