[PEOPLESCHICKEN]

Was he fired from NBC or just covering the SB?????

 

[PEOPLESCHICKEN]

I watched the E:60 episode this morning. Jeremy Schaap is now really fat

 

[podsox]

Costas is so full of himself. I use to like him. Can’t stand him now

Fired from Super Bowl coverage.

 

[skinzfan]

never could stand him, good riddance

 

[beardown07]

That is one dwarf I would like to bitch slap the fuck out of.

File this under, Don't bite the hand that feeds you...

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

I find it funny how strictly the NFL & NHL try to control their narratives... Especially in this day & age of social media & opposing media outlets.

Do they really think censoring these people is a good idea? The backlash from these stories coming out just makes them look worse.

Don't feel any pity for Costas though. You have to be pretty arrogant if you think marring the image of your employer on national TV is a good career move.

 

[CaptainStubing]

yep, if he wants to be a hard-hitting truth reporter then he just needs to stick with that

 

[Nod4Eight]

Fuck Bob Costas. He was always a little too preachy to me.

 

[RP-29]

This was Bob Costas' greatest contribution to society:

Spoiler: Milwaukee Beers BASEketball Announcer

FUCK FUCK FUCK

does this mean that we will be forced to have Chris Harrison or Ryan Seacrest do the olympics next year.

In 2005, NBC killed a halftime essay by Costas that had the following excerpt: "Even as the ratings rise, so, too, does a certain ambivalence. Because as much as we may try to push it into the background, there's a kind of Russian roulette going on on the field tonight and on our television screens throughout the fall and winter, since we know that for all the game's appeal, many of its participants will one day pay dearly for their part in our national obsession."

Bad move. Network has millions invested in televising these games. Last thing they need is someone to undermine the sport.

Costas should have known better.

Costas may be an arrogant little prick, but Goodell is a total pussy that he is too thin-skinned to do an interview with someone who might challenge him. Then again, what else is new with him?

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

Costas is too self righteous for my tastes but I can't say he's totally wrong on the subject of concussions and Goodell is just an arrogant pussy who won't face the criticism and deal with it. I'm not going to miss Costas. i could care less about him.

His ego hasn't stop growing for a while now and he got what he deserved. He wants to be "journalist" great go interview at CNN, nobody turns on the Super Bowl to hear about concussions.
