Bob Costas

[ChessToCheckers]

The mediots are not our "friends." They are only stirring up a new controversy, which happens to treat Tom Brady more sympathetically, but which still regards him as "guilty of something."

Yep! Tom is guilty of something alright: he plays for the Patriots and Patriots have been making fools of the NFL* for 15 years. There it is in a nutshell. QED

This is the definition of too little, too late.

It's definitely "late," but if you read what he actually said it barely rises to the level of "little."

................................................Also Brady I don't think wants to make up. That bridge is burnt and after the Pats win the super bowl this year if Brady does anything like shake Goodell's hand I will be shocked.

Before shaking his hand TB12 should reach in his pants, pull out his cup and hold it up to Goodell's nose and ask him "does this smell funny to you"? Seriously though, he should really rub his hand on his sweaty nut-sack before shaking that goons' hand or do that nasty thing Jason Lee did in Mallrats.

It's odd what BCsaid, because it must have been sanctioned by the NFL*

Or is there a schism growing between owners and media?

Or they are trying to resuscitate Tom Brady after killing him since they know he is good for ratings.

They want to have their cake and eat it too.

Remember the time Bob Costas got a nasty stye in his eye during the olympics? Yeah that was great.

 

[mosey threetupu]

I think the ratings for Sunday night's game will be through the roof, even larger than if Brady were playing.

I agree. NE fans will tune in to see JG and the rest of the country will tune in hoping the Pats get crushed.

Interesting thought and, if true, would prove how delusional they are.

They don't boss NBC around. If they did, Florio wouldn't have been exposing them the last 18 months.

if bob costas comes on my tv for anything the channel is immediately changed.

 

[Actual Pats Fan]

If we'd had more narratives like this when everything first started happening, maybe the league would have felt pressured into a more appropriate penalty. As it was, people like Costas and the like fed off the artificial, national frenzy to boost their ratings, and the league felt justified pursuing their witch hunt.

I don't give two s**ts about Costas standing up for us now that it doesn't matter.

I never liked Costas, mainly because he's full of ****.

 

[Actual Pats Fan]

May be the reason for what he said is Brady not playing on Sunday night during opening week.Brady playing would give them better TRP ratings. BC said a lot of stuff about Brady and Pats before. This one statement doesn't change my opinion of him. That said, I am definitely eager to listen to what Al Michaels and Chris Collinsworth have to say

You're "eager to hear what Collinsworth has to say"? Like I'm eager to go in Monday for my root canal.

What Costas said was 100% only to encourage Patriots fans to tune in to the game. Being within earshot of him destroys more brain cells than multiple concussions.

And, like us Pats fans, he was born.

See, that's an insult to Jiminy

It certainly is an insult to Jiminy height-wise...

 

[Galeb]

Yup, the odds of the Supreme Court hearing the case must not have been very good. Then you have the issue of only 8 justices and no tie breaker. A tie would revert back to the last ruling.

If Brady was more of a "runner", would a tie go to him?

Yes

 

[willard]

Tom Brady, more than 19 months after the initial events in question

This NBC sports writing and Bob is just read the teleprompter. I approved of how that was worded.

You know the guys are going to want to talk about this because they don't want to go too far with Cam Newton not knowing the day of the week after the game.

Costas can go jump off a bridge. far too little way too late.
