"We live in a culture that grows more stupid and graceless by the minute" - Ouch.

1. His opening remarks were particularly refreshingly frank about the state of our country.

Is Bob Costas not the greatest commentator of our times?

2. I'll answer that with.

He was on the Daily Show tonight. It was a riot. ;-)

4. I've been saying for years what Costas said.

My God! Act like you've been there before, instead of this, "Look at me! I made a tackle/scored a TD/caught a pass" horsecrap we see every Sunday. That's what you're paid to do. We didn't pay to see you act like a horse's ass any time you make a routine play.

It's increasingly gotten to where these low-budget acts are costing their teams games in terms of suspensions, penalties and other actions.

It's a sign of how insecure these overpaid prima donnas are.

6. Totally agree...

Touchdown celebrations should be confined to a simple spike (or the Lambeau leap) and celebration with teammates. Anything else is excessive.
