I have always found Costas to be an excellent sportscaster, and likable. I don't know where this writer is coming from.
Couric on the other hand... :(

OK, everyone in the room who's gonna watch these Olympics, raise your hands. One, two, three, four, five, six...uh-huh. That's pretty much what I thought.

I do not know who this Tom Knott is(any relation to Don?), but he's smack dab on target with regard to Ms. Couric and Mr. Costas.

I worked with Mr. Costas one evening taping a large awards show. He was positively unctuous.

Ciao, bambini!

Katie? She is the reason I haven't watched "The Today Show" for years and years. Yeah, as if I was missing something anyway.

"...a pair of half-pints who exude a smug, condescending air behind their plastic smiles and pseudo-charm."

Gotta love it.

What they just fire those two old birds and get Simon Cowell and Cathy Griffin. Hey, we're talking ratings here.

I like Costas and I thought he was terrific in the tribute to Dan Marino.
But whether you like him or not, remember this, he's not Pat O'Brien!!! I shudder thinking about how bad and how hard to take O'Brien was at Lillehammer.

I watch CBC because curling is more fun to watch than Katie and Bob making every 5 minute ticker update an essay worthy of an Oprah Book of the Month selection.
