I miss Bob Costas.

If by that you mean "when he was doing Later and wasn't COMPLETELY smarmy", then I wholeheartedly agree. I find myself saying the same thing during Football Night In America.

I miss the Costas who did the Game of the Week with Tony Kubek.

For the record, that video segment of Daly playing PYL has been removed from YouTube due to a copyright infringement complaint from a third party representing NBC Universal.

Still, it's presence hurt nobody, even NBC Universal itself. Seeing that NBC has a deal with YouTube, if they were going to put the clip up themselves I'd have no qualms. However, this (and 95% of the other third party removals) reeks of big media flexing their muscles just to flex their muscles.

If companies have deals with video sites and force average people to take off their clips, it's only good business for companies to put "official" versions of the clips online. Big media isn't making any friends playing the evil guy.

Then I hope NBC/Universal went through all the proper channels in getting permission to use the PYL Big Board clips.

They would...but they can't afford to! :-P
