Jerry Sandusky Interview With Bob Costas
2011-11-16 17:53:00 Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy Jerry Sandusky. 15 years ago, the name stood for defensive coaching excellence in football and at Penn State. Now, it stands for child sexual abuse while at Penn State. The shocking sex scandal that has brought the Penn State Nittany Lions Football Program (Read More...)
Interview with Olympian Ric Blas Jr.
2008-09-04 15:55:00 Anyone who has visited this site during the Olympics probably noticed my posts about Ric Blas Jr., who represented Guam in judo and served as Guam?s flag-bearer. I became fascinated by Blas because of his size, his MySpace page pictures (including this one on the right) and the fact that he seemed like a cool guy from every article I read about him and the MySpace page comments. Through the power of the internet, I was able to track Ric down and ask him a few questions about the Olympics, Guam and how he always seems to be surrounded by attractive women. Yes, this may be a bit long, but how often do I have a chance to interview an Olympic athlete? (How about never!) During the opening ceremonies of the Beijing Olympics, I and millions if not billions of people saw you as the flag-bearer for Guam. You certainly stood out as a big and imposing person, particularly compared to the other flag-bearers besides 7?6? Yao Ming. NBC?s Bob Costas even said that you may be the heaviest at...

2008-08-09 16:05:00 The guy pictured to the right is Ricardo "Ric" or "R.J." Blas Jr., an Olympian representing Guam in judo. I?m not kidding. Seriously, they really do have judo in Guam! According to Bob Costas during the opening ceremonies where he (Ric, not Bob) was the flag-bearer for Guam, Ric may be the heaviest athlete in Olympics history. Unlike Nadia Comaneci, the Romanian gymnast who won five gold medals, Ric has a MySpace page, which includes many pictures of Ric in action (judo and otherwise). If there?s one person I want to do well in Beijing, it?s Ric, particularly since he could pummel me if I get on his bad side. Here?s a little more about Blas from Guam?s Pacific Daily News (as opposed to Guam?s Atlantic Daily News). Bat-El Gaterer, competing in Taekwondo, is the only religious member of the Israeli delegation. Besides answering some questions about whether or not she would compete on Shabbat, this may be my favorite portion of the interview:Q: But isn?t [practicing with boys]...

Trizz vs. Bob Costas
2008-05-01 14:18:00 I actually wasn?t going to touch on this one, but what the hell I have no class today. So Bob Costas hates blogging, yaaawn get over it he's like the old man who starts every sentence with "kids today" and calls the TV the idiot box. He seems to blame blogging for the decline in print media and

Bob Costas Thinks I'm a Loser
2008-03-17 12:55:00 Bob Costas, HBO/NBC the 16 inch tall sportscaster, apparently doesn't like bloggers. Same applies for Mike Wilbon, Stephen A. Smith, etc. These are his quotes in an interview with the Miami Herald before I get upset: Many newspapers (including The Miami Herald) allow readers to post comments,

Another Guy Who Hates Bloggers: Bob Costas
2008-03-15 01:41:00 I have always respected Bob Costas, and have loved his shows; however, he's off base with his comments on blogs and their importance in the sports world today.MVN's Anthony Hall has an excellent piece on Costas' words to the Miami Herald, in a piece titled "You're On Notice, Bob Costas", which basically calls out the popular sports personality on his words.It makes me wonder what the hell he's been reading.Here's what he says below:From the Miami Herald: "Costas, speaking before he emceed (and donated $50,000) at Tuesday?s Make-a-Wish sports auction at the Broward County Convention Center, doesn?t understand what compels so many nonjournalist sports fans to seek a forum for their opinions.?It?s one thing if somebody just sets up a blog from their mother?s basement in Albuquerque and they are who they are, and they?re a pathetic get-a-life loser, but now that pathetic get-a-life loser can piggyback onto someone who actually has some level of professional accountability and they...

Sandy Clough And Bob Costas Should Get Married
2008-03-14 19:02:00 Because I absolutely love it when dinosaur Old Media types toss out tired, old cliches about sports blogs and bloggers---which they clearly don't understand at all, and often equate with infamous message board dipshits---I have to turn your attention to the giant collective sigh caused by Bob Costas. I like Bob Costas. He's got a great voice, and he knows his shit. He's been a loud critic of Barry Bonds and all of his fellow cheaters in baseball, has ridiculed Terrell Owens and the other attention hogs in the NFL, and has been generally harsh as hell on the culture of stupidity in the NBA. To my knowledge he hasn't actually talked about hockey since 1992, but hey, I know my place as a puck fan.* Anyway, Costas has weighed in on the whole "Blogs As False Controversy" topic with these tidbits of genius: ...it's one thing if somebody just sets up a blog from their mother's basement in Albuquerque and they are who they are, and they're a pathetic get-a-life ...

Lay Off Randy
2007-10-31 15:37:00 NY media bigwigs cackled big time at AOL CEO Randy Falco's expense. Bob Costas had the best zinger: "Randy has three wonderful children," Costas said. "He used to have five, but he had to lay two off." NY Daily News Falco was an NBC suit before he went AOL. (Wife Susan, Miz Meredith, and "Chainsaw Al's" evil twin)AOL grunts in VA hate Randy.Falco is reportedly amused by the media likening him to "Neutron Jack" Welch, former head of NBC's parent company GE. Jack got his rocks off blowing out employees while leaving the buildings intact. But no one compares to "Chainsaw Al" Dunlap's two-year reign of terror at Sunbeam.

Kudos to Costas [EdMcGon]
2007-07-27 18:46:00 From Ronald Blum at theAssociated Press:"A day after Barry Bonds called him a "little midget man who knows (nothing) about baseball," broadcaster Bob Costas said he wasn't upset with the San Francisco Giants slugger and responded with a jab of his own."As anyone can plainly see, I'm 5-6 1/2 and a strapping 150, and unlike some people, I came by all of it naturally," Costas said Thursday in a telephone interview."You gotta love Costas, don't you?http://img68.imageshack.us/-my.php?image=amerlegendslogo5wj-.gif
