Willie Mays Is Everybody's Awesome Grandpa

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 14:05:42 +1900

Last night, Bob Costas hosted a baseball-themed episode of his Costas Now town hall meeting-style show live on HBO. Among the topics discussed were the dearth of black baseballers, the hall of fame candidacy of alleged steroid users and Pete Rose, and the economic divide between rich teams and poor teams. Numerous ballplayers, both current and legendary, dotted the audience and panel ...

Different worlds collide (again) on HBO's Costas Now

Fri, 18 Jul 2008 14:11:00 +1900

Most of us who watched Wednesday night's episode of Costas Now, which featured a very special Buzz n' Will reunion, did so from the comfort of our couches. However, BLS contributor Nick Friedell stayed behind after the All-Star game and was able to file a report from the scene. His account comes after the jump: Evan Longoria couldn't take it anymore. He reached for a box of baseballs and ...

Buzz Bissinger, Will Leitch reunite on 'Costas Now'

Sat, 19 Jul 2008 18:27:23 +1900

I am going to try today to watch my tape of last night's "Costas Now" and watch the British Open live and write a newspaper column simultaneously, so please forgive me for light blogging. So far I have seen Buzz Bissinger and Will Leitch sitting next to each other enjoying pre-show beers and hot dogs, and even hugging. Now Pete Rose is asking for a second chance. CBS Radio sent me a ...

Elfish dork literally feeds off buzz of the crowd

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 12:00:13 +1900

Last night Bob Costas chimed in with a "Hey, it's me, Joe six-pack" comment during HBO's Town Hall meeting on baseball when he resoundingly encouraged the argument that if us zany sports fans are the one's footing the taxes for...

No Chair Throwing Please; Just Some Talk About Sports

Tue, 15 Jul 2008 15:01:58 +1900

"Costas Now," the sports news and interview show, which returns to HBO tomorrow at 9 p.m. EDT, may attract viewers in record numbers -- but Bob Costas isn't sure he wants all of them. "I'd like everyone interested in sports to tune in," he says, "but if all they're looking for is a repeat of 'Bissinger vs. Leitch' I'd just as soon they watched something else."

Aw That's Cute, Leitch And Bissinger Make Up Over Beers And Dogs

Fri, 18 Jul 2008 14:11:00 +1900

I got wind of this ahead of time but I figured that Leitch wanted it to be a surprise. In case you missed Bob Costas' Town Hall Meeting on Baseball last night, he had Will and Buzz Bissinger in the crowd and introduced them before the event began.... So sweet....they look like old friends and there's even some background on the idea.... Whose idea was this? Costas'. He called me late ...

Buzz And Me: An FAQ [Emeritus]

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 14:53:11 +1900

Those foolish enough to miss the season premiere of "Project Runway" — and those not "connected" enough for ESPY tickets — might have stumbled across the newest episode of "Costas Now" last night. It was entirely about baseball. Hey, I love baseball! That didn't make the show any less dull; that is, until Willie Mays and Hank Aaron showed up and chatted for an hour like a couple ...

Costas Does Not Want Viewers if They Are Looking for a 'Repeat of Bissinger - Leitch'

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 14:57:00 +1900

I find it whimsically amusing that over 30 years after he began his broadcasting career (roughly around the time he used the word "blowjob" as a synonym for the word "choke" in an ABA game) he is somehow being redefined by a one-sided shouting match between a blogger and a vitriol fueled author. However, if your motivation for watching Costas Now this evening (9 p.m., HBO, natch) is to see a ...
