The broadcaster also told the paper that he will continue to work for MLB Network, where he’s set to take part in its Hall of Fame inductee announcement this month, along with calling 20 or so games for the network.

Biggie Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Good. I don’t have to listen to him push his personal political views on me while I’m trying to ENJOY WATCHING SPORTS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that I think about it, I don't remember seeing him much this season on Sundays. I always enjoyed him, but 40 years seems as good a time as any to wrap things up.

I remember he used to have those words of wisdom at halftime but it’s been a while, certainly not this season. As for the pre game it’s been Dungy, Harrison and 2 white guys.

BuckFly Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I believe his late night show was "Costas Coast to Coast". I like the that show quite a bit. One guest. in depth, but laid back. EDIT: Side note, in 1988 during the Olympics in Seoul a local radio station got his number and called him to talk him. This call/interview was not set-up in advance and Costas luckily happened to be in his room. For almost 20 minutes he sarcastically ripped them for getting a hold of him in SK, and in between jokes he would answer questions honestly and with great insight. I used to like him, but on that day never was he ever as funny before or since. Deadpan, sarcastic, relatable and charming, all in one shot. In that bygone era it is what you would call radio gold.
