BOB COSTAS STANDS TALL

...doh!

But seriously, the widely-respected commentator is offering up his weekly HBO sports talk show On the Record with Bob Costas to hold a makeup Bull Durham anniversary celebration, and will happily include stars Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon.

Sportscaster Bob Costas says officials were wrong to nix the upcoming event in the wake of anti-war statements by Hollywood stars Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon, and he's looking to stage the event on his own cable TV program.

Costas says he's invited the stars of the film to appear on HBO's "On The Record" "not to talk about the controversy, but re-create what they would have done up in Cooperstown."

Bob is one of the smartest guys in all of sports, and at his height, he'd better be! Anyway we should all get him something nice. Word on the street is that candlesticks make a nice gift...
