Bob Costas is the gold standard in sports journalism. The guy has so many Emmys he doesn't know what to do with them, a fact that haunts Dan Patrick daily. We caught his latest installment of Costas Now the other night and were much impressed by the way he handled himself in interviews with one of the BALCO chemists, Bud Selig, Curt Schilling, and a roundtable including Gary Carter, Ozzie Smith, and Chris Rock, a.k.a. the "angry black man who thinks Barry Bonds is just fine."
Well, it seems Bonds has taken exception to Costas' tactics and the information he presented, which included the Champaign, Ill.-based chemist saying he's certain Bonds was using steroids. In fact, you might say Bonds has gone as far as threatening Costas, even if you have to read between the lines to come to that conclusion.
Bonds called Costas, "a little, midget man who absolutely knows jack [bleep] about baseball. Never played the game before. You can tell Bob Costas what I called him.
"I can't wait to see him face to face someday."
We're reading between the lines, and it says here that Barry Bonds wants to clothesline Bob Costas. Unfortunately, his knees won't allow him to bend down far enough.
