Olbermann's Mouth

Boneyard · Post by **Boneyard** » March 13 07, 12:53 pm

Get ready for a media frenzy............

Keith Olbermann just said (with all seriousness) "that Albert looks 5% smaller than he did last season. He wasn't insinuated anything, but he just looked smaller to him." on the Dan Patrick Show

Come on!! I understand try to drum up controversy to generate call-ins and e-mails. But, some media idiot will run with this - just like his age crap last year.

Those of you who are/or have been at ST, does this have any validity?

He does look thinner to me. But nothing like a steroid pump and dump. Just in better shape I think. He was kind of paunchy last spring.

It might be possible that Albert lost some weight because of his foot/back issues, etc.

Albert has said he likes to be thinner at the beginning of the season and get fatter as the season goes on, it's part of how he maintains himself. So he probably is 5% less fat right now than he was at the end of last season.

Well, he does look five percent smaller. Plus, I heard that he was retaining nine percent less water, he's making bowel movements 25 percent more and that he is running eight percent faster.

I hate Olbermann with all my being.

What exactly does 5% smaller look like?

From the left wrist to the elbow. His hand is now attached to the elbow itself.

Sounds like a chicken and egg dilemma.
