American sportscaster
Bob Costas
Bob Costas has turned the broadcasting world upside down with his impeccable style. He is known for his ability to memorize trivial facts and insert them with precision timing when broadcasting. Costas is also known for his ability to hold his own when situations occur on a live broadcast. The thing he is most known for, however, is his love of baseball. Not the present baseball, but the heroic baseball of the past. Costas hopes that perhaps one day his children can see the kind of baseball he grew up listening to on the radio, and watching on a black and white screen.

Bob, you and I both grew up huge Yankee fans. I was born in New Jersey and saw Mickey Mantle play at the Stadium many times. I just read a great article about him in Golf magazine. Now, I dont know if you are a golf fan but you really need to read this. The October 2008 issue gives a terrific story about his other love...golf. So enjoy. Paul

Hey Bob. As a person born near Syracuse, I am a loyal fan and think you're doing another award winning job covering the Olympics. That said, I want to commend you on the interview between Phelps and Spitz. In my mind Spitz will always be first before Phelps in the fact that Spitz did it will no cap, high tech swim suit, and a 3 meter deep pool. Phelps never mentioned that or even gave Spitz respect for that. Maybe because he's so young. But, I felt Phelps should have deflected the attention off him and remember that he's one member of team USA trying to win medals to win the olympics as a whole. China is significantly ahead in gold medals and that's where it counts. Maybe it's just me, but I've would've been a little more humble if I were Phelps. Keep up the great work, Bob.

Bob, Bob, Bob, What is with this bizarre hair color you have at the Olympics? How can I possibly trust you when your hair is ridiculously phony? Bud--you're well into your 50's. Stop fighting it. Your hair looks ridiculous.

I'm tired of no account pipsqeaks like that talking gasbag Bob Costas deriding Barry Bonds. I am a black man, and if a loser like Costas wasn't of the predominant race he wouldn't get a third of the airtime he does. That sorry white boy couldn't hit a homerun if the pitch was underhanded.I CAN'T STAND THE WHITE MEDIA. BABE RUTH LOOKS A LOT BIGGER THAN ANYONE HE PLAYED WITH! HOT DOGS MY EYE! F--K Costas!
