    • While in the 5th grade, Bob Costas had a pencil case that listed all the Presidents names. As he told Conan O'Brian on a 1998 episode of Late Night, whenever he was bored in the back of the classroon he would reread the names and eventually memorized them. When O'Brien challanged him to recite them all in 20 seconds, Costas zipped through Washington through Kennedy, but then slowed down cosiderably for Johnson through Clinton, forgetting Carter altogether.
    • Bob Costas has hosted the Olympics in Barcelona in 1992, Atlanta in 1996, Sydney in 2000, Salt Lake City in 2002, Athens in 2004, and Turin in 2006.
    • Bob Costas was a play-by-play man for the NBA and for Major League Baseball during his early days with NBC.

    • Bob Costas: Were there better baseball players than Jackie Robinson? Yes. Were there more important baseball players than Jackie Robinson? Who?
    • Bob Costas: Baseball isn't brain surgery. I just make sure I'm not frivolous at the expense of the game.
    • Bob Costas: I loved Seaver, but you have to put Clemens ahead of him. He's on a short list of being one of the greatest of all time. In my lifetime, no one was better than Koufax at his best. I would pick Sandy for one game. But Clemens is ahead of Gibson and Seaver at their best.
