Its called Trump Derangement Syndrome, and it disproportionately afflicts very high paid celebrities and “journalists” who, deep down, know that they are not worth anywhere near what they’re paid, and who also know that if not for blind luck and genetic happenstance bestowing them with looks and/or charisma that allowed them to succeed, that they could never make it in a profession where competence and effort matter. They are also inclined to pontificate about many things, despite being some of the most obtuse ignoramuses on the face of the earth.
Bob Costas is just one shining example of this.
Some people believe it, but others do it to further the careers, just like there are people who like Trump, but others say they like him strategically to further their careers.
Some years ago, I was in Dallas for a Sunday night football game and we went to a restaurant the evening before the game and just happened to seat at a table next to the Bob Costas and the NBC’s Sunday Night Football group.
That little fart was an unbelievable arrogant asshole. The rest of the group, including Chris Collinsworth, seemed very nice but I could tell they all hated Costas. I really didn’t know anything about him until that night and I learned to hate him as bad as they did,
