Got an unrepentant Keith Olbermann fan on your gift list? Get them an award given to KO when he was a local radio sportscaster 25 years ago.

Apparently the Golden Mike Awards people in L.A. gave duplicates of their trophies to the person and his/her station. Recently, the station cleaned out its trophy case putting Keith's Glittering Microphone in the discard pile, then some smart employee grabbed it and put it on eBay (after checking with him and making sure he wasn't missing it). Keith predicted it'd go for $9, bidding is currently over $100. Local media awards. You gotta love 'em.
