In Honor of National Cheesecake Day July 30th

[JUNIORWHOPPER]

Bob Costas is a baseball guy. Sure he is great working almost any sport, but baseball is where he is best. I hope that we get to hear him on the World Series again soon, nothing against Joe Buck.

[geyser7]

See this one through  . . .

[dennydog10]

You can tell that Bob Costas picked up a lot of Jack Buck's style of calling a game, unlike Jack's own son Joe Buck.

[druNkwriter]

Costas could read the frigging phonebook to me and I'd never miss a word! GREAT story... thanks for sharing.

I wish I could eat that right now... lol.

[PaniniGuy]

It's hilarious in context - and the type of stories other announcers would lose it over. These guys have to play hosts to all sorts of corporate schmucks and dillweeds every game and make them feel important. As employees of the club, they don't have a choice.

So yeah, from an announcer's point of view, it's hysterical.

[samtart]

when will story ever end??????

[justoriana]

WAY too long a wait for that punchline!

[Jzeaser]

huh... : - I

[tommusicfan19]

Costas is god!

[asannder]

lol

[seanC0LLINS]

it was funny if you skipped every other 5 seconds. seriously

[Rook3800]

Thats funny LMAO Id like to eat that right now.

[j3ss3l33]

LOL, all i gotta say.

[Penumone]

Ehhh. Not that funny

[osamauremama]

i get the baseball story part..... but the "funniest" part is where im lost

[rrefs]

it was at the end where he says "i like to eat that right now"

[SmoothJohnson]

I laughed and laughed

[rodrico50]

bob costas is a little fag.

[ienjoyptl]

hahahaha that was long and worth it.

[comedywannabe101]

costas knows everything

[tomitstube]

I used to like Costas, he seemed to have a sincere interest in the players, and usually didn't deride them for off the field stuff.

Not anymore, he seems like most of the neo-con sports jounalist's out there, who always berate athletes with any dirt they can come up with.

Witness the Sunday night football "indignity" over Plaxico Burress' gun incident. Get a grip Bob, Tiki's trying to explain a possible mindset, he's not defending someone you've allready convicted. Jerk!

[tishtashtishtash]

Oh for heaven's sake, you're taking yourself way too seriously. If half the sports journalists out there aspired to Costas' professionalism, we'd actually have sports shows worth listening to. Who do you look up to? Dick Vitale?

[tomitstube]

"for heaven's sakes"? Wow, I guess you would find this old cornball goober humor funny. If you must know, I watch very little sports anymore, it's so cliched and boring. Like you. Pointing to the sky every time someone trips of a shoelace, boring. What's with "Gawd bless america" at every baseball game now? Ignorant and boring!! It's a fucking baseball game not the McCarthy trial on unAmericanism! In Tampa they dropped the word Devil from their name. Just how lame can sports get?!?!

[tishtashtishtash]

So we've resorted to name-calling. Loverly. Please, let me know when you've graduated from grammar school, then we can talk.

[vandendriessched]

oh yes the 2 tier boxes how fancy

[vaibanez17]

LMFAO @ The Cardinal crew, bunch of horny bastards, he knew what Buck said haha

[jondabomb2020]

yummy

[JUNIORWHOPPER]

Is that really him? Why does he look like Pete Rose here?

[Benjaboy90]

I like it, Costas! It's an anecdote that is more of a story than a joke. It's like something you'd hear VIP's saying in a personal little conversation.

[buckskipper]

God-awful...Costas is the worst.

[tishtashtishtash]

What a wonderfully constructive comment. I will sign up for your course on expository discourse RIGHT NOW.

[jahazielgarcia]

too long for a medium punch line. that could have been shortened and could've been kinda funny..

[poshko41]

yep.

[robertmastroianni]

Gotta love references to oral sex!

[Dswelli23]

very funny...the long setup is for effect.

[raknrollin]

I guess u had to be there. Too long - not that funny.

Thanks anyway Bobby. I'd like to hear Vin Skully tell that one stretched out over 4 innings.

[sunil481]

You had to be there? Ummm...no.  I wasn't there. And it was really funny.

[raknrollin]

I would have been funny if the other guy had some come back like "I like the kind with cherries better" or " my favorite part is the creamy center ..." 3:18 ? seemed like 8:18 at least !!!

Or how about a come backer like "I got your cheese cake ... right here !....swinging" ( get it ?? ... "swinging" is part of the call of the game ) now that would be funny !!!!

Damn - I'm funny. Have a beer.

[tishtashtishtash]

You're the kind of guy who gets insulted and then spends half the night in front of the mirror imagining a whole litany of comebacks you should have thought of at the time, right?

[eatthatpopcorn]

haha...i can image vin skully saying that.

[barnsburystore]

made me snigger, bit long but good ending

[Greazyjaypeazy]

Sure the story went on for a while, but listening to Bob Costas say anything is a real treat. He's this generations Howard Cosell. Enjoy him while you can.

[simeon1957]

funny story, but went on to long

[omm01]

that story is orgasmic

[classicguru79]

that was kinda funny. it made me laugh so it can't be too bad. he is a bit of a rambler, but you gotta love listening to him. smart man.

[Lava1964]

I've heard Costas tell funnier baseball stories than that.

[mkpr03]

thats great.

[pewsterbaby]

As Terry Bradshaw would say, "Not funny." 3 min build up to that?

[way21337]

Yeah, too long.

[sproggino]

Damn... I miss Bob Costas covering the World Series on NBC.

He's like a philosopher who wandered into the announcer's booth.

[crowlights]

LMAO!

[scrltgray]

very funny...definitely worth the wait

[VeiledHeathen]

well, Bob Costas was saying it was the most memoriable experience, not the funniest. Pretty funny though!

[TVME]

That was a funny story!

[jondabomb2020]

he looks younger then he does now!

[romanator14]

....? Well... yeah...

[whitedevil2]

hilarious. took forever to get there, but the punchline was almost worth it.

[cajunsushi]

Lighten up people...funny is funny.

[tomorrowsboy7]

I hope he sticks to his day job!

[aubiedad]

That was LAME!!!!!

[policesquad234]

thought it was pretty funny. just needs to work on the delivery.

[pnutbutrncrackers]

Skip it, viewers. 3:17 you'll never get back.

[tishtashtishtash]

I enjoyed it, and so did several others. Since your in the minority, YOU'RE WRONG. (hehe)

[chuckzuck]

Love the Costas. But this is a looooong way to go for, essentially, a smutty (and lame) punchline.

[mdv08]

not that funny at all and it has nothing to do with baseball.
