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.

Holy crap... curling and biathlon are the only things I watch too. I read what you wrote and though I was reading an old post I wrote.

Women’s biathlon?

That’s hot.

Maybe ‘ol Bob shot his eye out!?!?!

If he did, then he would blame the easy access to guns. F that MO FO. I don't wish him well.

I’m guessing pink eye from his recent trip to the bath house. Call it preemptive karma for the queer lobbying he’s about to do.

Costas announced, “I woke up with my left eye swollen shut and just about as red as the Soviet flag.”

His eye being red caused him to think of a Communist symbol. Was Costas pining for the days of the workers' paradise?

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe something was squirted into his eye.

You have it? “Spreads”? I’m sorry. Is it anything like the “runs”. Is there anything you can take?
