Olbermann is rarely dead on. Here, he is.
Olbermann is an idiot, plain and simple. Last night is the perfect example of why Jeter is an icon in NY. Yes, he wasn't a good defensive SS. However, he was one of the best SSs to ever put on pinstripes. Also, his ability to come through in big time situations was absolutely incredible. It couldn't have been scripted any better.

In an era of cheaters, Jeter always remained above that. Yes, his playboy style isn't a great role model for kids but it basically remained private. However, the way he played the game was the PERFECT role model for young ball players. Go out there and play the game as hard as you can all the time, and do it cleanly.
