Olbermann, Patrick reunite for "Football Night"

Former ESPN stars Keith Olbermann and Dan Patrick will reunite in September to call highlights for NBC's "Football Night in America" on Sundays.

Olbermann and Patrick are legendary in sports TV for the 5-1/2 years they co-hosted ESPN's signature "SportsCenter," or as they called it back then "The Big Show." It's been 11 years since they were together on TV, with Olbermann leaving for Fox Sports and eventually MSNBC. Patrick left ESPN last year and has been doing a daily sports talk show for Sports Illustrated.

Patrick's deal with NBC Sports includes working on "Football Night in America" and the years that the network has the Super Bowl, as well as covering the Olympics beginning in 2010. Patrick is contractually prevented from working on NFL telecasts and the Olympics in Beijing for a year. NBC Sports Chairman Dick Ebersol had spoken a year ago to ESPN execs about Patrick, and it seemed to be OK.
