Legendary Broadcaster Bob Costas Joins Us Again!

Bob Costas has seen a lot over his long broadcasting career.  From the Olympics to Major League Baseball, the NFL, the NBA and the ABA he’s been a part of some of the biggest moments in American sports history and told those stories as only he can tell them.

On Thursday’s edition of The Wake Up Call, Costas joined the show to discuss the upcoming Paris Olympics.  He touched on why he believes this year’s coverage should be a call back to past Olympics pre-COVID.  He also discussed his past role of being the anchor of nightly Olympic coverage, what his goals were and how to tell the stories that covered all demographics, from sport fans to the most casual of viewers.

He literally stepped out of the shadows and into the spotlight, and there stood Muhammad Ali.  You hear a lot of sounds in a stadium or arena, but seldom is one of those sounds a collective gasp.  There were a couple of seconds of stunned silence before it gave way to sustained, thunderous applause. – – Bob Costas on Muhammad Ali lighting the Olympic flame to open the 1996 Summer Olympics

Other topics ranged from his favorite Olympic moment, his memories of icons like Muhammad Ali and Bob Knight, his time with the ABA and his thoughts on the current Caitlin Clark craze.
