Always interesting guests you bring on. Love you Bill!

Bob Costas on NBA on NBC was incredible, some of the best 90's Basketball memories I have!

5:12 Thank you for mentioning the Stanley Cup!

❤❤❤Bob Costas

Glad Malcolm Jenkins got the shoutout, he is active.

Miss his voice and personality just doesn’t feel the same ..🏁🏁🏁🏁... dude is a legend.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼..💯

Yes, young folks your votes count; because someone takes it if you don't Vote! #NotMyPresident #resist

Bobby Costas bringing some grace and dignity to HBO.

Bob Costas is a National treasure and was the smartest person on that stage.

I'm so proud Mr. Bob Costas addresses many of the most important issues relating to all sports with a humane and concerned perspective. Bringing it out for discussion and discourse. I find many of his answers and opinion

Bob Costas would have made a fantastic Baseball Commissioner - He would have cleaned up that steroid/drug era proactively, and it would have been a model for all other pro sports.

University trustees and alumni make millions off college sports while the athletes make nothing.

I miss Bob Costas, so honest, so ageless, so sophisticated.

for real

it saddens me that the lifetime hit leader, the single season hr leader, and the lifetime hr leader records in MLB all have an asterisk beside them.

Costas is a superb sportscaster. His insights are interesting.

Anybody watching the Stanley Cup playoffs knows it blows the other sports going on right now out of the water, including the NBA playoffs. The Islanders goalie stopped the puck with his neck last night. An NBA player flopped to get a charge call. No comparison.

Any have a clip of the Instagram rant just before this?

Of course sports always goes to politics. It's about in-grouping and out-grouping. We win, you LOSE. Same instincts being roused. Us and Them.

Sports kinda keeps people crazy. We need it.

Now aggression is a bad word? Good Heavens.

Bill seems high at the beginning of this interview

Colin is why I bought my first pair of those sneakers!

As a CU alum who's struggled supporting football because of the injuries, I was glad to hear Bob's reporting. Athletic money is driving too many academic decisions.

In Kaepernick's defence, Muhammed Ali said some unbelievably stupid things, just as stupid as that 'I don't vote' statement.

Humour is sooooo much better when half the audience has no fucking clue what its about......

I disagree with that last statement. What is the end of that road, that we stop supporting sports in schools? So people have to go to exclusive sports schools that only the rich have access to? So kids can no longer use sports as a potential way into college? I agree that academics should be at least as important as sports - but I'd never advocate dumping sports from schools and that seems to be where that line of thought is going.

I agree with their opinion about Robert Kraft.

Played football in UK for nearly twenty years, buying my own equipment, paying my own medical bills, paying for my own travel to games etc. It was sad to see teammates drop away when they could not risk having time off work because they were self employed etc. It is a game you play because you love it, and it is insulting to say players are unaware of the risk, we all know slamming face first into other large humans is unlikely to be great for your grey matter, just like boxers know.

An average professional football game lasts 3 hours and 12 minutes, but if you tally up the time when the ball is actually in play, the action amounts to a mere 11 minutes. Crazy

Sports.

I know damn all about baseball but this interview was entertaining nonetheless.

BOB COSTAS once said that "IRON MAN" CAL RIPKEN JR. should seat down...and not break LOU GEHRIG's unbreakable playing streak.

Bill trivialized the Kraft situation by ignoring the sex trafficking aspect of the massage place. If the staff were all working there by free choice then you can slide into the "he's an old lonely man" conversation. Modern day sex slavery is not a victimless crime by any stretch.

1:36... how was statutory rape just described?

Bob needs to quit the Botox treatments. He could barely smile.

We really talk about nothing...

I’m blown away Bill was able to go five minutes without bringing up Trump.

Football will be the last sport cut from universities, most universities actually make a profit from their football programs. Not just because football is more aggressive either, check out a wrestling match's attendance. America just loves football.

Argh...Bob Costas - ditch those “Roger Stone” glasses, bud!

WRONG, BILL - THE players didn't know the extent of the risks they were taking around head injuries and the NFL went to great lengths to hide the truth FROM them about CTE.

Sportspersons should not be looked up to. It's an extension of that celebrity worship so common in the US (and other places around the world of course).

Like Bob, but he mad bad call , stating Kpernick, isn't thinking or being right because he does not vote, i can relate and understand fully where Collin is coming from. Hell im about to stop,

If we held our highest office, the presidency, to the same standard as the baseball Hall of Fame..(Pete Rose) Donald Trump would be out of office and excluded from the hall of Fame, (the presidency)

American colleges and universities spend more on sports teams than on Academics- the Duke Lacrosse coach makes $2Million. And of course the athletes are short changed but so is every other student trying to get an education and make their way in this world as their tuition dollars support this inverted priority

The entire point of boxing is to give your opponent a concussion before they concuss you. Yet, boxing is the "sweet science." Yes, football is violent. More students get concussions from soccer than football. Cheerleading is more dangerous than gymnastics. You can get hit by a car crossing the street. One needs to know the risks, weigh the risks and benefits and make an informed decision. JMHO

"Maybe the values of football are no longer aligned with those of an academic institution." You do things differently in America I know, but I don't see how the values of football have _ever_ been "aligned with those of an academic institution". Or any physical sport for that matter. The idea that someone can get a scholarship to an Ivy League university, the height of intellectual rigour and attainment, because they're good at catching a ball, running with it and throwing it is completely baffling to me. I've never understood it.

Pro Football ought to have its own _minor leagues_ so we don't have to maintain the charade that many (not all) of these college athletes are remotely interested in, or qualified to get a true college education.

Bob Costas has beautiful skin! Don't believe I've seen better skin on a man before. See guys what exfoliation and good products does for appearance!? Great guest Bill, thank you ♡♡♡

NFL draft in Nashville...bigger crowd than Tchump's inauguration!

Bob Costas wore the same exact outfit as he did last year on Real Time!

Because it's simple and everyone can do it.......try a real sport like hockey where there is skill AND aggression

Appreciate Bill Mahers' semi comedic, semi political show, but if Bob Costas had to explain that, one's team plays once a week than Bill Maher should not pretend to know sports.

ANDREW YANG 2020 PLEASE RESEARCH THANK YOU

Does this guys audience have to applaud every fucking thing

i like costas's wig.and his multiple face lifts.

Organised brain damage lol 😂

Kpernick is very intelligent! ✔

Sorry, but baseball is so dull... and basketball is just endless running back and forth, up and down the court.

I hate hiw tv talks avout voting. Electorial collge picks the president. How was Kap wrong at all. Hillary won the popular vote and that didnt matter. Who are yal trying to fool?

Bill doesn't get football at all, Bob does. Violence is not the leading factor why the NFL is so popular; it's a factor, for a few, but not most fans. The NFL is more popular because the games all mean something...every one is crucial, there is always urgency. Baseball and basketball play so many games that most of them are essentially meaningless...early in the season there are too many chances to make up for a bad performance and late in the season for most teams there is no way to catch up to the leaders. In football, there is also better parity between teams. Even in an era of a dynasty like the Patriots, on any given Sunday they can be knocked off by any other team, and it doesn't always take decades to see a struggling team turn it around or to see a powerhouse team falter. And Bob also is right about playing once a week...most people don't have time to watch their team 5 days a week, but once a week is an event people can plan around...not to mention most games are on free TV and you don't need an expensive subscription to follow your team. If baseball wants to compete, they should shorten their season, and the NBA needs to shorten their interminable playoffs...all those drawn out series are no fun when compared to March Madness or the NFL playoffs.

A nation's favorite sport does reflect its culture. The country would be a better place if a sport like track or swimming were the most popular. Such sports are competition with, not competition against. You don't have to stop your competitors from doing their best to win. They teach people that they don't have to put others down to bring themselves up.

Robert Kraft’s girlfriend is Ricki Lander. The two have been dating since 2012. Kraft was previously married to Myra Kraft, who died in 2011.

Be aggressive, be be aggressive , b-e, a-g-g, r-e-s-s-i-v-e.

Bill condemns Trump for not following the rules, and then dismisses Kraft for not following the rules!

Costas is a bit pretentious, no?

Tax subsidized football, whether college or the stadiums the pros play in is ridiculous. Why are we who don't give a shit about it taxed for this stupid game? I like porn. When are porn sites going to get tax subsidies?

If we destroy every monument to our past - will we HAVE A PAST? I have lived in countries outside of America - they do not appear to be destroying monuments of past, which they have surpassed. BECAUSE THEY HAVE SURPASSED THEM. They are nevertheless, part of their HISTORY.

Bill, get your head out of your butt and call Andrew Yang onto your show. Thank you !

Bob Costas looks like a brown, shrunken, polished wooden doll!😨 WHAT IS HAPPENING!!

Bill - jump into the race.

Kareem AJ is a public intellectual? Never heard anything intelligent out of his mouth - - or any of the others mentioned. Costas is just a slightly smarter sports moron; and as an entertainer, Bill Maher has a vested interest in supporting entertainment as spokespeople. Maher is much smarter than these clowns, but he doesn't do the heavy homework (reading, analyzing, writing, synthesizing new ideas); and Costas can announce a game; whoopee; but he's an intellectual for less smart people. Let's not overrate entertainment and sports ding dongs.

Sports is a waste of time and resources.
