Bob Costas is tasked with weaving the societal issues of the Sochi Olympics together with the athletic events from his lofty perch. Ultimately that was going to lead to the incredible television moment of him saying the words "Pussy Riot" on national television. That happened on night one when he also happened to have a weird infection in his left eye that just added to the… uniqueness… of the moment.
Predictably, Twitter exploded.
Bob Costas with a herped-up eye has to say the words Pussy Riot. –"I've lived too long," a haiku by me

Don't be amused too long. Tomorrow night Costas will lecture us on how immature we are for finding humor in him saying "Pussy Riot"

Seeing Bob Costas say "Pussy Riot" might have been one of the greatest moments in TV history.

All this uproar over Bob Costas saying "Pussy Riot". Ever since I heard him say "Feel these nipples!" In "Baseketball", nothing fazes me.

If the rest of the Winter Olympics give us nothing else but this moment, it will have been worth it.
