1992-Bob Costas Leaves NFL Live

When Bob Costas stepped down as the host of NBC's NFL Live! studio show at the end of the 1992 season, this retrospective piece was put together. Admittedly, the presence of O.J. Simpson in the piece makes it a little less nostalgic but it's still a nice overview of this phase of Costas's career.

I remember those voices from my sunday football memories as a kid. I remember the game commentators too! I still have an appreciation for Bob Costas, and his (my opinion) undervalued contribution to football in the 80s

I miss NFL live, Costas, and the John Tesh theme music.

He was also their NBA Showtime pregame show until 1997

Too bad when Bob Costas actually left NBC in 2018 he didn’t get a lengthy tribute and a chance to say goodbye. But this is good enough I guess. 4:16 I first saw it on one of Bob’s appearances on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. This video has probably the earliest appearance of Bob Costas on NBC: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2q5e41oZr9rmdE. You can find it at :55 mark of the video. It’s Bob in an NBC (no peacock) red blazer, no glasses and speaking Japanese 4:27 with the Fumble-Mumble-Gumbel. 2:17 Ahmad’s proposal 2:47 Costas and Mr.T.

Good find, Epp, Glad to see you are back in action-got any good hockey posts coming?

I haven't forgotten about Game 3 of the 75 series. The approval for posting it ran into a longer roadblock than I was expecting.

love that memorable mob scene with the late Pete Axthelm at the start.

OJ is such a creep.

[@hectorlopez1069]

In that time, people liked him alot. He was fun to be with.

[@tigermachine6471]

OJ was a pretty decent star of network television back then. Not only was he NBC’s nfl show in house jock, he had a spot on an HBO program for a bit, he did commercial spots for hertz rentals i believe. OJ was doing quite well for a guy that terrorized his wife and seems to have been a completely different person off camera.
