Media Approval Ratings: Bob Costas
We once joked that Bob Costas seems like the type of guy who would pee sitting down, but that's a little harsher than our personal opinion toward him really is. He's a St. Louis guy, after all, and it's not everyone who can deal with both Dan Marino and Keith Olbermann.
Our favorite little-known Costas anecdote: After the Bulls won their first NBA title, Costas went into the locker room to interview a euphoric Michael Jordan. Clutching the championship trophy, Jordan sat next to his wife, and both were crying. Costas looked at Jordan's wife and said, "Michael, I see your mother is here." Jordan, competitive as always, eyed him and pointed out, "that's my wife." We love that story. Poor Juanita.
Anyway, do you like the Bob Costas? Do you not like the Bob Costas? Let us know.
