Bob Costas To Host Pregame Show From NBC's "Sunday Night Football" Game Site

NEW YORK — Bob Costas will host NBC's "Sunday Night Football" pregame show from the site of the game starting this season.

The network announced Wednesday that it was tweaking the format of the show. The reunited tandem of Dan Patrick and Keith Olbermann will remain in the New York studio to provide highlights. They will be joined by two new hires who recently retired from the NFL: former Indianapolis Colts coach Tony Dungy and ex-New England Patriots safety Rodney Harrison.

Costas will share the onsite set with game announcers Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth.

That means NO ONE cares about Bob Costas.
Literally.

Listen and learn NBC.
Just let Keith and Dan do it and you have a water cooler buzz filled show every week.

Do I have to explain everything to NBC in words of one syllable?
I thought Ben left?

I usually miss most of the pre game on NBC anyway. There usually a game running late on either Fox or CBS that is what I'm watching.

I thought that I was going to forget about this guy until the Winter Olympics.

Wake me when it's over.

bob is a class act and probably trying to distance himself from that clown olbermann. cant believe any major network would let a hateful guy like KO be on a family sports show. but then you realize its NBC.

Costas... the man who prays for the return of platform shoes.

I should record this so as to have a sleeping aid available next time I suffer from insomnia. Although his intense smugness may serve to aggravate me, rather than sedate me.
