Costas has always struck me as a genuine sportscaster, who's instead gotten opportunities to be more of a show host, but would prefer otherwise. Maybe he's sufficiently photogenic and glib, but he strikes me as the type that if the money were as good in local radio, he'd be there, not at the olympic village.

Costas is a melodramatic clown. He may like sports, but he is unwatchable. What sport does he do well? Certainly not basketball. He barely knows the sport. He's OK at baseball, but I'll take Joe Buck, Al Michaels, Vin Sculley, Jonny Miller and a host of others over him. Football? Please. He is horrendous, and certainly not of the caliber of, say, Keith Jackson, Al Michaels, Marv Albert, or the guy on ESPN whose name is escaping me. Hell, I'll take a senial Pat Summeral over him.
