"We've indulged you all these years. That now ends."
"And I want to say this about Keith Olbermann. I’m sick of your pathetic ass."
"Just adding to what has been true for years: @stephenasmith is a f*cking idiot."
"You'll never hear him mention it again."
"I'm just going old school. And I'm gonna leave a lot of people out."
"That day is today. Fire him."
"They put so much pressure on me because Olbermann left and everybody in the building thought I was picking who my co-host was."
"Whatever else this is, Olivia is responsible for me being born again in dogs. She will always have my support if she needs it... though not the journalistic choices part."
"Mort was the definition of class, professionalism, and friendship."
With ESPN's shift to embracing entertainment, Dan Patrick thinks his SportsCenter with Keith Olbermann would be a perfect fit.
"I thought to myself, 'Holy smokes, I have a long way to go to even get in the realm of that.'"
It was an apology, just not one that people will be pleased with.
The reactions to Reese's gesture says a lot about the sports media world.
"The WBC is a meaningless exhibition series designed to: get YOU to buy another uniform, to hell with the real season, and split up teammates based on where their grandmothers got laid."
"Joe Rogan and the wonderful Aaron Rodgers, who will step in front of microphones and lie through their teeth"
"I lost the majority of allies I thought I had in the media."
"Whenever I do my last broadcast or take my last breath, I will be content that I was honest with the audience, often at the expense of security and money."

"IF YOU ARE A KNICK FAN, THIS IS THE EQUIVALENT OF BEING KIDNAPPED, STORED IN A BASEMENT, BEING TORTURED AND THEY LET YOU OUT WHEN YOU ARE NO USE TO ANYBODY! IF YOU ARE NOT A KNICKS FAN, YOU MAKE ME SICK! I DON'T LIKE ANY OF YOUS, ANY OF YOUS!"
Olbermann's initial tweet was "This pea-brained scumbag identifies himself as Hunter Waltman and we should do our best to make sure the rest of his life is a living hell. And the nitwit clown who wrote this fawning piece should be fired."
It was an exclusive ESPN broadcast due to being a makeup game from a Sunday Night Baseball rainout, so Mets and Yankees fans were forced to watch this broadcast.
