Aug 28, 2013 10:26 AM EDT

Keith Olbermann's new show on ESPN2 that airs at 11 PM has so far been a hit through two episodes, as he has been funny, smart and tough as a host and he has already gone through some great topics and on Tuesday night he led off with some thoughts on Johnny Manziel and the autograph scandal that has been surrounding the Texas A&M quarterback.

Olbermann spoke on his own about the situation and he also brought in PTI host Tony Kornheiser to discuss the NCAA and the surrounding situation as well. Both spoke intelligently about the situation that the NCAA and the Aggies are in and said that it was likely that Maziel would be cleared and they also compared it to the Cam Newton situation from a couple years ago, saying that the NCAA would find a way to clear him.

According to ESPN.com, the Heisman winner met with NCAA officials for six hours on Tuesday to answer questions about the autograph scandal and now the school will try and decide whether to play him in their first game on Saturday. The biggest deal will be in three weeks when the NCAA season has its first massive game with Alabama and the Aggies and all eyes will be on Manziel when that game comes.

Manziel and the Aggies play Rice in the first week and according to sources, Manziel has denied wrongdoing and it is likely that the NCAA will clear him.
