Seriously, Lauer is terrible. He tries to politicize everything.

And Costas doesn't? You must have been under a rock for the last few years.

Costas is terrible. If I want a screwed up opinion on guns or anything else, I'd go listen to patients in a mental ward.

Mejórate pronto, amigo.

Just because he has political opinions you disagree with, you cannot deny that Sr. Costas has the greatest knowledge of Olympic sports. It is a loss to all true sports fans for him to be ill.

Do you mean Jim McKay? If so, you aren't remembering him too well.

Man, you people don't appreciate great broadcasting. Costas is the best.

Would you rather hear Chris Berman yell "back back back" for the millionth time?

Does Costas KNOW he's the best? Yes. And that's ok because he is.

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!! wrote:

Hopefully the little sanctimonious twerp will be quarantined in Siberia in a vault for the next 2 weeks.

Mean and dickish post. Why not worry about the poor US results. Or let us in on how great you are at your job, and how everyone thinks you do?

Bob Costas, Al Michaels, and Jim McKay among American Olympic talking heads were the best.

Matt Lauer, Bryant Gumbel, and Kathleen Sullivan were horrible.

Costas is great and the best at this among American coverage at the moment. He's smart and that helps when you have to cover two weeks of sports most Americans don't care about.

Costas is just a more polished and reserved version of Howard Coselle. He has moments of politicizing and grandstanding but he's interesting and polished.

Bryant Gumbel? You are a racist idiot!

I bet the OP does his job, and unless his job calls for it, I doubt he goes off on random rants about gun control or makes observations geared to what he believes is politically correct.

If little Bobby stuck to the subject, he'd be annoying, but fine. It's when he tries to act like he is intellectually superior to the audience, that's where the revulsion begins.

Maybe he is intellectually superior to most of his audience.

In who's opinion?

There are other forums to show that. He is paid to announce sports.

He went to Syracuse U. He's not intellectually superior to most.

Thank god they pulled him, I couldn't stand looking at him any more!

Obviously the dude is a ham, loves to hear himself talk, and thinks NBC is all that. But at least he wasn't a coward like Vicky Carr, Chuck Norris, Tom Cruise, etc. He kept his Mexican last name. You have to respect that. If not, tell me man-to-man, and I'll beat the shit out of you.

And like José Montaña, even if he does usually go by Joe. To his amigos in the barrio, he will always be José, just like Costas will always be Roberto.

Costas is a pompous a$$. The only reason he has remained where he is is because he's NBC's pet. Anyone who doesn't immediately see how lame this guy is is simply fooling themselves by overthinking and overanalyzing the curious situation as to why Bob Costas has even made it onto our television screens. It's the same reason why Jay Leno got canned even while his ratings were at an all time high. The networks are run by monkeys; vain, naive and stupid monkeys that think too highly of themselves. Costas is one of these, moral of the story is that pink eye is one of the best things too happen at sochi this year.

It's a jewish thing.

I agree Costas is a awful and getting pink eye doesn't make him less so. British commentators should have an exclusive contract to comment on track and no one else. Not even Kiwis.
