Flashback: Last year Keith Olbermann took the pants off of Phil Griffin--but now we know who is wearing pants last!

That was The Cable Game on April 21, 2010--nine months ago--when TCG noted that Keith Olbermann was obviously wearing the pants at MSNBC.  Taking them from Phil Griffin, the chief of MSNBC.  Olbermann won that round--the particular incident was getting rid of the completely oafish Donny Deutsch--but obviously Griffin won out on the end.  Yet as we can see, the "Countdown" was ticking for Olby. 

As many observers have noted, Olbermann thanked a lot of people--including the late Tim Russert and David Bloom--but didn't mention any of his current bosses, including, of course, Griffin.  But that's OK, Phil will get over it.
