Olbermann, Paypal and more
Posted by Chris

Keith Olberman.jpgIf you haven’t already checked it out, there is a picture of Keith Olbermann on the sportscollectorsdigest.com home page linking you to an archive of stories written by the host of MSNBC’s Countdown, regular participant of the Dan Patrick Show and columnist of SCD.
Keith is an avid collector and quite the historian. I think you will find his stories entertaining and equally informative.

I hate to keep bringing it up, but my Paypal account is still down. I really am getting tired of waiting for Paypal to send me a confirmation code via U.S. mail. Today I emailed them to find out what was taking so long. I have many items I have won recently off eBay and need to pay for them ASAP. You would think that Paypal would splurge for Express Mail on something this important, but I guess not.

If anyone missed it, the NBA Playoffs have started and last night I forced myself to watch some of DEAL OF NO DEAL.jpgthe games. Is it me or does nobody really care about the first round of these games? About ten years ago I would watch every single game of the playoffs that was televised. Now, I am more interested in the winner of The Apprentice than how many points Rip Hamilton scored last night.

I still would rather watch the NBA Playoffs than Deal of No Deal. What a stupid show! What is so exciting about watching a hyperactive contestant jump up and down, trying to win prizes with no talent or real strategy? I heard that it’s one of the highest-rated shows on television. If that’s true, we have truly sunk to the bottom of the barrel.

Are you sure that's Olbermann, or is it really that lefty shooter who plays hoops at the Iola Fitness Center every once in awhile?

And you should watch Phoenix play, they'll restore your faith in the NBA.

Every time I see Keith O, it reminds me of the 1975(issued in 1976) SSPC baseball set, one of my all time favorite sets. I believe he penned some of the players biographies on the backs of those cards. That set has some obscure players and weird photos. Fun set.
