ouch! ouch! ouch!! I know that Bob can be hard nosed more often than not. But this is way over the top. How can the producers give one man so much power. If Bob came off the air tomorrow, he would not be sorely miss by america or the sports world at large. There are numerous people that could replace him. But when you set a world record, you set a world record and anyone who saw the event will probably not forget it. There are people who do not take the time of day to watch Bob Costas, but they would tune in to watch the olypians regardless of who the sports anchor/commentator or news provider is covering the event. They need to reel him in... but let's think about this... the damn producers must feel the same way.. they had to authorize it!!! what needs to happens is that other networks need to step up their game a get some control over CBS producres. let's me see,, one network comes to mind... ESPN!!!

Bob and CSB should be ashamed of themselves for doing this... A public apology should be forthcoming for allowing this to happen. The athlets should stand up and address this..

"CHARACTER ASSASSINATION....embarrassing display of BIAS Olympic journalism"

Except when Bolt won the 200 and Costas couldn't give enough praise. Or how he brought up the charity work and money Bolt donated. Sounds like he really wanted to make Bolt sound like a real jerk, huh?

It's simple math, when you think about it.

Phelps= 8(gold medals) + 7(World Records)

Bolt= 3(gold medals) + 3 (World Records)

I came to the following conclusion. There is "no athlete, in the water, that can out swim Phelps" and there's "no man on land that can out sprint Bolt". Costas saw this debate coming, so he'd chosen to take the low road...CHARACTER ASSASSINATION!!!   

Costas' motivive to slander Usain Bolt's accomplishments is as obvious as it gets. Excuse this pun, but it appears that this "Lightning Bolt" foreigner, may had stolen some of "OUR" Phelps'  thunder; now little Bobby wants to cry foul, then take his ball home. I'm just glad that Jim McKay didn't live to see this embarrassing display of BIAS Olympic journalism.  Jim McKay would had sat both men down, together, in an interview. He would had allowed them both to describe their experiences and express their opinions towards each other.  It's been three months Jim, and already, we are seeing signs of how much we miss you.

Sorry Bob Costas, you never had been, nor ever will be... A Jim McKay!!!

That's just my two cents!

Costas needs to relax. Obviously, he can't wrap his mind around what winning a gold medal in the No. 1 event in track would feel like. Bolt had no one around him, knew he had the thing in the bag  and was overcome by emotion knowing he was going to win the gold medal. I guess Costas wants the pride for country and emotional part of the Games, which makes the Olympics so real and refreshing, set aside for robot-like performances. Overall, it's just a silly and selfish thing for him to say. Bolt owes no one anything.

Bolt is fast but I have enjoyed watching the swimming
