Football’s back, which led viewers to wonder: what would be the subject of Bob Costas’ lecture for opening night?

Thursday night NFL and I forgot about the Bob Costas involvement. Can't wait to be lectured at halftime. #Kickoff2014

I've so missed Bob Costas' halftime musings. What's on tap for tonight? Support for Hamas? Impassioned defense of IRS targeting? #NFLKickoff

What controversial political topic Bob Costas will give commentary on this year? #Russia – #Ukraine? Same-sex marriage? #Ferguson?

For some, it doesn’t matter what the topic.

How much support could we get for a Kickstarter campaign to buy out Bob Costas' contract, just make him go away? #justshutup

I cannot even begin to express how much I despise the holier-than-thou attitude of Bob Costas.

One of the great things about watching #NFLKickoff #NFL on DVR is you don't have to listen to the Bob Costas lecture. #liberalsknowbest

Was really hoping Bob Costas would lecture us from his moral high ground during half. THATS how much I've missed football #DrugsNGunsRBad
