MSNBC talk show host Keith Olbermann may be incredibly polarizing, but his tribute to his mother, who passed away over the weekend, is rather sweet. He said that Marie Olbermann was the person who made him love sports, "It was Mom who introduced me to the game, and in my teenaged years when we went nearly every day, it was she who trundled me and my sister to the ballpark. It was on her tv that I came to love the sport, and by her side that I began to understand it. And, sitting next to her, that I began to understand that I was not going to be any damn good playing it and if I wanted 'in' - maybe I'd better try talking about it."
