Between Costas's softball questions and Cupid's contrived stories and total fabrications that he used in response, it's difficult to pick out one thing to be most angry about as NBC Sports Network let the two botox phonies switch positions teabagging each other every couple of minutes last night.
Of course Cowardly Bobby wasn't going to face the Boston media, which is why he choose to goto a softie like Bob Costas. But I think I'm most insulted at NBC postulating that Costas is in any way, shape or form a "journalist". After the interview-cum-unquestioned statement to the press Costas gave Cupid a forum for last night, NBC Sports should have immediately placed him on probation for not asking any tough questions.
For example, Cupid took a shit on David Ortiz. Big Papi, the Clutch King, Mr. 2004 ALCS, the one Red Sox hitter who has meant more to this organization than any other position player over the last 15 years. And here Cupid was, on national television -- disgraced as former Red Sox manager -- taking a massive shit on David Ortiz.
"How dare he" is one of the thoughts that should have occupied Bob Costas's vacant mind, but I guess years of botox treatment pushed out any knowledge about sports whatsoever. Here, in front of Costas, was a disgraced Red Sox manager throwing the face of the franchise under the bus, and Costas doesn't think to drag this out for a few more minutes because, at the very least, it'll make damn good television? Costas doesn't decide to use one or two methods to draw more Ortiz comments out of Cupid: either by playing Devil's Advocate or holding Cupid accountable for his comments by pointing out the extent of Ortiz's injuries?
And Costas is supposed to be a professional sports journalist who knows what he's doing in an interview? NBC Sports should be embarrassed. So should Cupid, but it's obvious after last night's interview that he's emotionally incapable is feeling embarrassment, nevermind his inability to push beyond his huge ego to experience a catharsis.
I hope NBC, Costas and Cupid had fun with their little circle jerk. Fuck all of them.
