Keith Olbermann is the Satchel Paige of Cable News.

9. Satchel Paige is a legend. Olbermann most definitely is not.

That's not meant as a diss toward him. But legends are few and far between. Olbermann is pretty good at what he does, but he isn't the best there is. There are a lot of people in that business who are good at what they do.

I'm not saying you're necessarily arguing that either. What's funny is that one of the examples you use from Paige (calling the outfield in), was actually kind of a dick move. He and Olbermann do have some similarities there. But they aren't comparable as representatives of greatness in their fields. Paige was the best there was. Olbermann is good, but he has never been the best.

Of course, judging somebody's greatness in the field of political commentary is a lot more subjective than judging their greatness on the field of sport.
