Abuse of the RIP section has long been a problem here. Fucking Cosby still ain’t dead.

Cosby might as well be dead.

I’ve always thought Costas was a douche.

Liked him when he started. Bulls announcer. Liked his late night interview show. Acquired the smartest guy in the room disease and that was that.

Annoyed the shit out of me when he announced the NBA Finals involving the Bulls; anti-Bulls every year.

He was great doing baseball in the early '80s.

Great job on the Sandberg game.

He got insufferable somewhere in the early '90s or so.

That makes sense because I’m wondering how anyone could ever have a positive opinion of him so timeline fits.

"Strop is on his way out, pointing toward the heavens," Costas told MLB Network viewers. "We can only ask, or wonder, that he is asking some departed relative for forgiveness for this atrocious performance."

I actually liked him on the NBA telecasts. Maybe that's because I started watching the NBA back when he was the main guy during NBA on NBC stuff.

Sad to see him go. RIP

after the Bulls won title #1 me and my buddies took to the streets to riot. We made up posters for the occasion. I had one that said "Perkins blow me". A friend had one that said "Detroit Sucks". Another friend had one that said "Fuck Bob Costas". We ended up on Division with the crowds. The news kept showing footage of it and you could clearly see my buddy's Fuck Bob Costas sign.

The next day Mike North was on the radio ripping on the guy who had the fuck bob costas sign.



We ended up rioting every year the Bulls won and we always brought signs. I always had one that said blow me in reference to someone on the other team like Stockton. My one buddy would bring out "Detroit still sucks" every year even when Detroit wsa bad. Fans LOVED that one. And just for fun we always brought out the fuck bob costas sign which was a big hit as well.

I support at least a 2 week suspension for posters who do this.

Growing up I was raised to believe that Costas + Stone was the dream booth to call a baseball game...

But then I heard the dulcet tones of THE LEN AND BOB SHOW™®© and, well, suffice to say I don't need to hear the playgirls anymore #BestInTheBiz

And then I discovered dream booths are affordably fun at Te'jays!

Costas is great on baseball, but those NBA on NBC years when he replaced the sex addict Marv Albert were awful.

Costas and Isiah Thomas were a terrible announcing duo.

I believe it can be identified as the time he started to call himself a baseball purist.

That and or because of that he was bigger than anything he presided over.
