- Bob Costas - whose illustrious, 40+ year career as a leading sports broadcaster marches on - lets us in on his professionalism and personal processes. Costas illustrates his perfectionism by sharing a specific call as the Atlanta Braves won the 1995 World Series, and clarifies his “diminishing” memory by listing every U.S. President in chronological order. Plus, long-time producer Bruce Cornblatt, filmmaker Ken Burns, NBC analyst Mary Carillo and former HBO Sports president Ross Greenburg join the conversation to offer high praise for Costas’ talents.

Graham's interviewing skills are A+++. Costas is just a hoot
Bob on his radio show recalled how Ted Williams & Tom Seaver could remember exact at bats or pitches from decades ago.⚾️⚾️
Bob will always be the greatest
Atlanta at last woulda made for great merchandise
Marvin Barnes was absolutely hilarious. Costas also tells the story of the time the Spirits were making a short flight but crossing a time zone. They handed out an itinerary and the flight’s arrival time was earlier than the departure time. Barnes saw that and said something like “I ain’t getting in no time machine.”
You should interview Mary Carrillo and ken burns
Marvin Barns... LOL It's ironic it was about being late, because Bob Costas told a story years ago about Marvin Barns being late to a game and upon his arrival he said "Game time is on time." :-)

Procrastination, works better under pressure, time blindness (always being late)…. Bob has undiagnosed ADHD. All of those traits are indicators and describe me perfectly.
I have those traits as well. However, I take pride in being on time for things. That developed because of work and doctor appointments for my parents which I transported them, then because of my very own doctor visits and projects at work. In classes like history (various kinds), literature, art, trivia and with music (playing and listening) the data just seems to stick. Also I seem to remember things I write down or see very well. However scientific specifics and I guess highly technical things is what I have to work at most.
Thank you doctor.
I was thinking, I'm the same as Bob.
@@seanswinton6242I’m sure a lot of people with ADHD also take pride in being on time - when they are, since most desperately want to be. What you’re describing is not consistent with genuine executive dysfunction.
The way he said Trump lmao
should have forgotten Trump as a joke
@@wetcake9092 speaking of joke's ya know what makes me laugh $ 6 00 Diesel fuel prices or even better a president who cant even read a tele prompter
I guess you're one of the 81,000,000
Trump never had negative GDP FJB
@@anneriordon4131 -- You reacted to Wet Cakes' comment exactly how a true mindless Trump supporter would. You have no idea why diesel prices for your gas-guzzling pickup truck are so high and you just look at who the president is and say 'Biden'. You probably don't even know that Russia invaded Ukraine which is the reason fuel prices are so high. It has nothing to do with Trump or Biden.
@@plane_guy6051 gas was up before Ukraine clearly you're just regurgitating MSM talking points i understand the geo political landscape quite well
You're the Narduar of sports bro
The procrastination describes me to a T. Some of my best essays were written the night before.
Calling the Braves "Team of the 90s" while it was still 1995 turned out to be risky, proven by the Yankees run in the 2nd half of that decade
It was wrong when he said it. Toronto had already won back to back AND beat Atlanta for a championship. They were the team of the 90's until the Yankees came along
Even though Bob Costas is as liberal as they come, he did go on the record stating that he believes Curt Schilling should be in the Baseball Hall of Fame. I will always give him kudos for being able to separate a man that thinks differently than he does, from that same man playing the sport superbly. ⚾
I remember Costas doing an interview where he said that he could recite the lyrics of the opening theme songs of most of the Westerns he used to watch mostly in the 1960's.
I think Costas is as reasonable, thoughtful and common-sense as you get. Depending on the subject, facts, and your own worldview, he may in the moment appear liberal or conservative. But most people are a combination of views, and I think Costas is one of those guys. And agree that Schilling needs to get in.
If you actually cared to find out, you’d realize many liberals felt that way. You’re the one judging sportscasters by their political bent. Typical conservative small mindedness.
@@discosecret6363 Reported ☢️
@Michael Jurek If you understood the “Schilling deal”, you’d understand why being liberal is key. Without that understanding, it’s air.
The memory recall may have something more to do with the presence of those presidents in his life rather than being names to just memorize
no, it's just how memory works and age. It's like why learning piano at a young age sticks with you. You can't learn to play like that once you get past about 13 years old
Did you see the way that Costas mentioned Trumps name? I did not know that Costas was that Left leaning.
Another thing you're inept about, Bob, is your opinion of Presidents. 👍
81 million voters agree with Bob!
@@brianarbenz1329 Get real. Your figures are skewed by fraud. Furthermore, being proud of voting for an obviously corrupt, senile, puppet who was a pedophile back before he lost his marbles is an embarrassing absurdity.
Spoken as only a true Trump-voting mouthy boor could.
@@brianarbenz1329fake news ?
All the awful presidents we have had and Trump is the one he chokes on?
He certainly vocalized his political leaningswhen he lowered his voice to say, "Trump."
I could rip Trump to shreds - and it would have absolutely nothing to do with politics. You’re probably right about Bob - but your assumption is a far bigger problem than his leanings. Because that is how people frame the criticism, conveniently allowing them to outright reject any and all criticism. Right or Left - that’s wrong, intellectually dishonest at best, and stupid.
That, in his vocal disdain for the 2nd Amendment.
Who gives a shit
Yeah, maybe cause Trump is an idiot? Do ya think?
Gotta love the libral elites having to say Trump 😞
46
he is required to say “Trump” like that or he would be classified as racist
And the funny thing is, whether you’re a trump fan or not, there were plenty of complete hack presidents before him. Costa’s a typical liberal sheep.
I love bob but that was so cringe lol
Trump crybabies can't face how horrible their man is. Bob was right to say it that way!
Darn. I liked Bob Costas until he hopped on his political high horse.
I'm with you on that Alex!
He’s always been like that
Yeah, he really makes a fool of knuckle dragging MAGAts. Sorry you got your feelings hurt princess.
I would have said "clinton (eye roll), bush (boring), obama (yuck), TRUMP!!!!!!!, dementia joe."
Well, _somebody_ has to like Trump. He lost the popular vote twice - by 4.5 million, then by 7 million.
Yeah, you would...
.... and Trump again...
Bob that down-inflection you used for “Trump”……10 years from now you’ll be telling someone how 5 seconds later you realized you should have used it for Biden.
No, hopefully there will never be anyone worse than Trump was. He wasn't even a Republican which means that neither are you. He was a perversion of the Republic party in the same way that Hillary was for the Democrats. They are both way too extreme.
@@plane_guy6051 Funny how you assume I’m a Republican (but not a Republican) from my comment. I never mentioned my political affiliation now did I?
Costas is such a hack!
But I'll compliment him as he was the first broadcaster to make sports political and very well ruined the purpose of sports--to temporarily avoid normal life problems.
Well said .
Always liked Bob until his way of saying Trump. Guess you aren’t a true American. Go away Bob!
