I've always like Costas, but I do think he's slipped a bit in his old age.

Feels a bit strange even saying that, as his schtick has always been of the over-eager, over-enthusiastic little kid in gym class, who's maybe not that talented himself, but loves what he's "trying" to do.

I guess, much like myself and most of us "Sports Nerds", who are involved in the collectibles world.

Maybe, that's why he's slipped. It was never really his eloquence or gravitas or improvised soliloquies that attracted people to his delivery. It was mostly his enthusiasm...and he seems to have lost that quite a bit.
