In reply to Bob Costas: The reason I won't be at Super Bowl

Good for Bob! In my heart of hearts mostly hate professional football so of course I am going to say that.

Truth be told, though, I do and have always paid some attention to some stuff on it because: I never wanted to be a total outcast to friends, family and society at large.

So here's what I've seen over the years: a Bob Costas who always wanted to be a serious journalist and pundit talking the great eternal themes. Greek myths! Allegories! Man vs. nature. man vs. man, man vs. himself. Oh the humanity. He worked for another network but he fulfilled this old canard to the max:.. the thrill of victory... and the agony of defeat... the human drama of athletic competition... This is "ABC's Wide World of Sports!"

And actually, I am thinking of the level of ridiculousness that Costa's commentary reached sometimes precisely because I just skimmed over and was quite impressed by this op-ed by Frank Bruni: The Existential Hell of This Year’s Super Bowl. I thought wow, now that's how you would do the Costas's shtick if you really wanted to be good at it.
