Fox Sports Net

Sportscaster Jeanne Zelasko is back in the Fox studio, anchoring the network's Saturday baseball coverage after a string of off-season misfortune. It actually began in August, though, when her father, Stanley, died of a heart attack at 71 in his home in Escondido. The shock of losing her father, Zelasko said, led to another shock -- learning in December that she had thyroid cancer.

Is Keith Olbermann, to paraphrase the blustering Mike Wallace character in the movie "The Insider," destined to play out his career in "the wilderness of National Public Radio"? Every time Olbermann leaves a job, as he did several weeks ago, when Fox Sports Net abruptly cut him loose, electing to pay out the remainder of his contract, the question of Olbermann's place in the sports highlights game--to say nothing of his off-camera combustibility--is examined anew.

Anyone who had a year-and-a-half in the Keith Olbermann over-under pool is a winner. He lasted exactly that long on Fox Sports Net's nightly news show.
