5kidsforME Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I just really really like him! It almost wouldn't be the Olympics without him. I wonder if he likes covering the Olypmics as much as we like him covering it? :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
battlemaiden Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Oh, I like him too. He is so comfortable and laid back, yet he's witty. Did you hear him when he quipped Michael Phelps, after his goggles malfunctioned, could even win gold with his eyes closed? I cracked up. You know who I can't stand? The lady that critiques the divers. Oooooooh, she drives me crazy. I have to turn it off because of her. Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I loved how he was joking with Shawn Young about not being able to touch the floor the first time she sat down with him to interview but then the second time she was touching the floor. There are a couple of commentators/interviewrs I could do without, especially the one that interviewed the Girls Gymnastic team after they WON the SILVER and made the one girl cry. They're young girls for Petes sake it's over they WON SILVER! The girl couldn't go back and fix her mistake, jeesh! Ok I am done now. :001_huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brindee Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Yeah, I like him too. I also like the lady that does the "out-and-abouts" different places, trying different things,a nd seeing the countryside. I think her voice is interesting, but I like how she reports things and does stuff. I think she also has a good sense of humor! I can't remember her name though....do ya'll know who I'm talking about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DB in NJ Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I like him too. I just wish he'd quit dying his hair with black shoe polish ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NancyNellen Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Yes, I think he's great, too. My brother is a sports writer for the Associated Press and a graduate of Syracuse Univ. My brother received the Bob Costas Award his senior year and got to have lunch with Costas. He said he was just as great in real life. Although I agree about the hair!:tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassenach Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Love Bob Costas. On another note, since we're talking about announcers that we don't like, did anyone catch this? Dh and I were a little taken aback. eww. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathmom Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Yes, he likes doing the Olympics. I saw an interview with him once where he said even if he was offered more $ he wouldn't leave NBC because they have the things he likes to cover. Agree about his hair! Agree about the diving commentator! I turn the volume way down when diving is on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
