Bob Costas, who said football “destroys people’s brains” in November, won’t be part of NBC’s Super Bowl coverage
-
Costas previously said that he expected to retain his hosting duties for the Super Bowl after Mike Tirico was named as his Olympics replacement, as The Big Lead points out. So The Big Lead says “there’s reason for skepticism” that Costas’ comments about football and its impact on players’ brains may have something to do with his omission from today’s NBC’s official Super Bowl broadcasting team announcement.
