Sportscaster, Bob Costas, won't be hosting the 2014 Olympics on NBC in Sochi due to an eye infection. He has hosted every year since 1988 including baseball and football pre- and post-games as well. Costas tried to battle through it with special glasses but his eyes were pink and looked bad. His golden voice will be missed. Costas will likely travel back to the U.S. instead of staying in Sochi with the bad enviroment. Matt Lauer and his show called Today Show will be the replacement. His streak has been compared to Cal Ripken Jr.'s streak of 2632 straight MLB games.
