Bob Costas is a total dick. Napoleon complex.

I find it odd that people liked Olbermann when he was on Sportcenter, but hate his guts now that they know his political views. Seems pretty shallow to me.

Olbermann and Patrick actually started working together at CNN.

Olberrman seems pretty switched on to me, but then I don't have a Repub/Dem agenda to push.

What do you base this on exactly?

I don't know what his political agenda is, I just think he' proven himself not to be funny and is just a bore now, much like Chris Berman, except Keith has a worse attitude

The worst thing that happened to ESPN was when Craig Kilborn got a better gig and his own late night TV show. Everyone else at ESPN thought they could do the same, so they all became hack comedians. At least Kilborn has talent and is truly funny... unlike the other douchebags who are legends in their own minds. As for Costas, I used to like the guy but he seems to have become a caricature of himself.

I don't like Olberman. He bashes FOX because he says they're biased and right-leaning (which is fine if that's what he thinks), but he fails to see the hypocrisy of his own obvious left-leaning agenda. If you want to slam FOX news, fine- go ahead, but don't pretend you're any different.

I think they're both fine sports news readers. As far as why they don't like each other, it probably has something to do with an argument about some old baseball player from 50 years ago that nobody else cares about.

Because Costas absolutely blows.... KO rocks...

Was he a smarmy, egomanial prick back then too, or did he mature into that role?

yeah. A victim of the industry.

I'm glad Costas is above that BS.

And you base this upon??? Oh right, you base this opinion on the same thing you base most of your opinions on... abso-****ing-lutely nothing.

You and Nick really are a match made in heaven.

Now, an opinion based on slightly more than nothing... one of my best friends in college grew up a few blocks from Costas in St Louis. He only met him a few times, but said he was nice as hell.

I will go on record... If you honestly don't like Bob Costas, I am amazed that you have the functional intelligence to get online, much less read this post.

I can understand the people who like the hack that is Keith Olberman... but NOT liking Costas seems pretty outrageous.

Really? You think the only reason people dislike Olbermann is his politics?

The guy is an annoying prick and I'm willing to bet that is why a majority of his haters hate him.

To be honest, I have never been much on either of them.
