Bob Costas to return to Olympics coverage after eye infection NBC's Bob Costas plans to make his return to NBC on Monday after being off the air for a week with an eye infection. NBC said Sunday that "Today" host Matt Lauer will sub for Costas one last time on NBC's Sunday night telecast, and that Costas is preparing for his return in prime-time Monday. The long-time Olympics host started duty in Sochi with one eye reddened from an infection that he hoped would clear up quickly. Instead, it spread to his other eye. It made his vision sight blurry and it was difficult for him to work, and his red eyes were a popular topic on social media. Lauer and Meredith Vieira have filled in for him. http://www.foxnews.com/sports/2014/0...eye-infection/ |

Between the pick eye dipshit and the rest of their crappy coverage, this has been a pretty horrible showing from NBC... |

Honestly, this comes up every 2 years, and I've never understood it - especially the last few years. I understand that people have trouble sometimes with their prime time coverage, but what do you expect them to do when most of the events happen between 4am and 10am and when there's about 50 hours of action to cover per day? Not to mention that they show events on FOUR channels all day long, and you can literally watch every single event live online for free, complete with the ability to watch them recorded later.
There has literally never been more access to Olympic coverage than what NBC is giving us right now. |

4 Channels showing coverage, one at a time. It is obviously designed not for the viewer but for the numbers that they can get. Though they didn't even do a good job of that because my Mom didn't even know where to look for curling.

Back in the 90's, no one even knew what curling was because they never showed it at all.

The commentators are atrocious for most of what I've seen. **** figure skating. Other than the US/Russia hockey match there haven't been a lot of replays that I've seen. Costas has to give social commentary. There just isn't anything I like about it or even think they're doing an adequate job of. |
