Gosh, I really miss those days with the big C band dish backhauls. Every last talking head has one of those moments.

I remember watching a divisional football game once hearing the producer, spotter, director and talking head laying out exactly what the talking head was going to say after the time out, sure enough, when they went “live” the broadcast was verboten to what I had just heard.

Makeup redo’s were common too like you said, what a crazy business.

Bob Costas must not miss Trumps years of lower prices on food and gas and the no wars.

Bob Costas ie a whore but worse than that he was a crappy announcer.
The reason he was crap? It was always how he couched his words carefully, to not describe the action on the field but to bring attention to his sorry ass!

Costas was never in the league of Red Barber, Vince Scully or Mel Allen.

He says 45 isn’t “fit” to be president. That’s one hell of a tired argument. “Fit” means accepting any globalist premise you can imagine. Like pretending that the 2020 election was totally fine.

For most sports:
Football I limit to a few college rivalries, MUTE. For baseball and Hockey, always. unless a player is being interviewed, “know what I’m sayin’?”

Basketbsll, who watches “Hoops?

Blast Costas into phantom zone, give him no respite, attack his family too, like the left does to Trump and conservatives. Make him rue the day he opened his pathetic loser mouth!

The new rules are in effect!

“Every time a 1%-er like Costas goes on about, “The country can’t survive another term of Donald Trump”, it simply demonstrates the self-centered bubble of privilege in which they live.... Their insular lifestyle allows them to avoid the world in which their audience lives - avoid the crime, and the transformation of their communities by illegals.”

* * *

Very fine insights there, mbrfl. Yes, there IS a strong connection between sports and the working class. So after all these decades, we learn Costas is NOT attuned to his true audience. Rather than mingle with fans, he’s been hiding in the high class stadium suites eating caviar and sipping champagne with the Bushie-tailed class.

>>”...there IS a strong connection between sports and the working class. So after all these decades, we learn Costas is NOT attuned to his true audience.”

True, and it’s strange how often we see that happening in the entertainment and sports world. Bruce Springsteen comes to mind when talking about someone whose politic beliefs are so antithetical to the interests of his audience. I don’t know if they start out that way or just let things go to their head over time.

Some years ago, I was in Dallas for a Sunday night football game and we went to a restaurant the evening before the game and just happened to seat at a table next to the Bob Costas and the NBC’s Sunday Night Football group.

That little fart was an unbelievable arrogant asshole. The rest of the group, including Chris Collinsworth, seemed very nice but I could tell they all hated Costas. I really didn’t know anything about him until that night and I learned to hate him as bad as they did,

Well, he did limited himself to “modern presidential history” , but he is still an ignoramus.

Nonsense. Don’t carried away, it has been twenty years since he worked for CNN. That is where he got his start.

Tucker Carlson worked SIX years for CNN, then two years for PBS, then off with four years at MSNBC. He admitted he was a registered Democrat from 2006 until 2020. So, he thought Democrats were better all through the Obama era, and the Hillary era. He said he is like a 70s liberal at the Washington Post.

I wish I could pull up threads from Free Republic's first 20 years. Tucker Carlson was absolutely despised around here. He was considered a milquetoast, self-hating, collaborationist.

How many voters will this Bob Costas sway? Doesn't he give commentary for ball games? Why is he talking about politics?

He looks how you would expect somebody consumed with hate to look.
