Contrary to rumors that Bob Costas had been hanging out with the snowboarders, NBC announced it was replacing him with Lauer due to an eye infection...
A double-dose of pinkeye is keeping Bob Costas on the sidelines.
Matt Lauer will replace the sportscaster in tonight's primetime Olympics coverage after his eye infection spread, NBC announced.
Costas's eye infection has been a lingering talking point throughout the Sochi Olympics, ever since he took the air Thursday wearing glasses, his left eye reddened and watery.
After the infection spread, he turned to vodka -- downing booze alongside fellow on-air personality Mary Carillo on last night's episode of "Olympic Late Night."

It's unknown how he caught the eye disease, the FSB had no comment.

as anyone who's ever had pinkeye knows it looks a lot worse than it is but damn it looks bad.
I hope he didn't infect the rest of the crew, it's really easy to spread around.
