Robert Quinlan “Bob” Costas is well-known for his NBC Sports television coverage since the early 1980s, and he has been the primetime host of nine Olympic games. For those who may not know, Mr. Costas began broadcasting the 2014 Sochi Winter Games in early February with a very noticeable and uncomfortable-looking red left eye. It didn’t help that he was also wearing a comical pair of dark framed glasses to assist his vision while on set.

The bright red viral infection slowly spread to Mr. Costas’ right eye during the first weekend of the winter games, and it didn’t take long for doctored images of his red eyes to go “viral” on Twitter. [tehehe. Viral.] Some of our favorites include:
