Variety: ESPN has denied a story by the Hollywood Reporter that claimed the network wants host Keith Olbermann to suspend commentary from his program. “Keith has never been told any topic is off limits for his commentary nor has continuation of it been part of any conversation about his future at the company,” the company said in a statement. Olbermann, who hosts a self-titled show on ESPN2, is widely known for his outspoken behavior and has been reprimanded in the past by both ESPN and his previous employer, MSNBC.
