Bob Costas Begins Sochi Olympics Coverage With Eye Infection

Between the missing shower curtains, brown tap water and computer hacking affecting journalists covering the Sochi Games, NBC’s Bob Costas might have it the worst. He has an eye infection. At the start of NBC’s fortnight (+3 days) of coverage tonight Costas announced, “I woke up with my left eye swollen shut and just about as red as the Soviet flag.” Costas says he’ll be wearing glasses for the next couple of nights.

“According to NBC doctors here, it’s some kind of minor infection which should resolve itself by the weekend,” Costas added.

Seeing Red Eye Bob twitching almost makes it worth watching for a few monites.

Almost.

The only thing that qualifies Costas for anything is that he dumped his wife and married the daughter of an NBC honcho.

I dislike this little twerp. Him & Jay Glazer infuriate me to the point that when they come on, the sound goes off.

It isn’t an eye infection. It was an injury sustained in the after-interview activities with the president.

professionals in the trade refer to it as a “money shot”.

Good grief. Someone please give me one, just one, Olympics thread without the conspiracy theories.

Ugh, I will only watch curling and the biathlon.

Hearing Costas and Co. gush over every athlete as if they are superheroes obtaining immortality by sliding down a hill or on ice, is already making me gag.

I hope he didn't touch the yellow water from the Russian pipes.

In Sochi, Russia, Don’t Touch The Water

Well in Sochi, Russia, you had better not TOUCH the water, either.

When Chicago Tribune reporter Stacy St. Clair, who is covering the Winter Olympics for the newspaper, arrived at her hotel, she was informed that there was a problem with the water and it had been shut off.

Then hotel staff delivered an ominous warning: “Do not use on your face because it contains something very dangerous.”

Unfortunately when one organ is damaged another one is strengthened, and it will likely be his mouth.

It’s a Bobocentric universe.

This year instead of heartwarming stories of athletes overcoming life's obstacles, we'll have to put up with a few on Bob Costas himself overcoming the tragedy of an eye infection.

Probably just been crying himself to sleep at night over whether or not to come out of the closet during these, the rainbow olympics.

“You may feel relaxed and at ease, Bob...just please leave the children in peace.”
