Yes, he is. And he might have just performed the public service of killing FrancesaDropkick Izzy said:Isn't he a Yankee fan to boot?!!! Someone pass the smelling salts, I think I just heard Suzyn Waldman hit the floor.
Finally, there’s this astounding number. According to Elias, it’s the number of games Jeter has played, in his entire career, in which his team, the mighty Yankees, was mathematically eliminated from some sort of race for some sort of trip to the postseason. One meaningless game in 20 seasons? Whoa. On one hand, it would be nuts to argue that was all Derek Jeter’s doing. On the other hand, what defines his career better than that? A man who lived for the big game -- and played nothing but big games. For 20 years. What better way to put a frame around the career of one of the greatest shortstops who ever turned a 4-6-3?

He is one in real life. Not to annoying levels, though. And he's not a fanboy at all. Plus, to be fair he should be a Yankee fan- he's from NY and he's deep into baseball history.CaptainLaddie said:KO's not a Yankees fan. At least that's what he claims on the tweeters.
He's on a tear.Red(s)HawksFan said:This is Keith Olbermann at his best. You might not like his politics. He might be a blowhard asshole in real life. But in these ranting monologues, he's pitch perfect more often than he isn't.
Olbermann insists that Jeter is not among the top-10 Yankees of all-time as measured by WAR per season with New York, which is a neat trick; the Yankees have had an inordinate number of all-time great players, so it is possible for Jeter to be an obvious Hall of Famer and still not one of the 10 best Yankees of all-time. They are like the Lakers in that way. We would all agree that Jerry West, Elgin Baylor, Magic Johnson, Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant are among the best basketball players in history, right? Well, if those are your top five Lakers, where do you put Kareem Abdul-Jabbar?

Yes that's because he IS a blowhard.cromulence said:
Uh, no. You guys will shit all over KO for a being a blowhard - until he says something you agree with. Now he's a genius. Whatever.

The "yeah Jeets" was the best part about it. If only he could've worked in hopes and dreams.Detts said:Amazing that he was able to work "gift basket" and "yah jeets" into that first segment.
The same one Pokey Reese made with less effort and theatrics.BoSox Rule said:What diving catch? I remember a routine popup in fair territory.
And I remember our shortstop sulking on the bench.BoSox Rule said:What diving catch? I remember a routine popup in fair territory.
yup. in the 12 years since he's been captain, the yankees have been responsible for 7.6% of all MLB salaries paid. They've won 8.3% of the WS titles in that span, or basically exactly what you'd expect based on dollars spent.Clears Cleaver said:KO misses one point. Jeter was named captain in 2003. 12 years, one title and one epic collapse. And the title they won was after a $450m land grab. His reign as "captain" has been poor
