Bob Costas would like to tell you about Jay Z

Do you know all the words from “99 Problems”? Bob Costas does.

James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

Bob Costas is pretty hip, you just don’t know it. The MLB Network announcer is seeing thing clearly since his eye issues in Sochi cleared up and spied a sign teasing Robinson Cano’s move to the Seattle Mariners.

Most announcers would let it slide, being silent while the cameras did their work -- but no, Bob Costas knows Jay Z and wanted to share it with the world. Listen to him drop his knowledge like it’s nothing. These are the kind of talking points you wont find on a media guide.

Oh no, Costas wasn’t done there. Following the break he was ready to drop some rhymes!
