You may have seen a headline pinging about the World Wide Web on Friday, lauding the time sportscaster Bob Costas is said to have "chugged" a beer thrown to him by a fan while he was working the 2011 Belmont Stakes.*

Costas, as usual, will anchor NBC's Olympics coverage for the next two-plus weeks. The beer-chugging anecdote has been a bit of sports-fan lore for years, but it just got thrust back into the news cycle with the 2016 Olympics about to begin.*
