Since early September, comedian Paul Mecurio has been sprinkling his comedy magic onto HBO’s sports coverage in his web series Got No Game with Paul Mecurio. Honestly, its made watching pro athletes more tolerable for us. In a recent spot, Mecurio was interviewed by sports broadcasting legend Bob Costas. That, in itself, isn’t so funny.

What’s funny — not that we want to tell you what’s funny or not — is that Mecurio was outfitted and spoke as a giant asterisk, the symbol that has adorned sports stats in recent years, signifying that a player’s stats are accurate, but with huge exceptions. For example, Rusty McPissypants hit 96 home runs in 2008*… but he did so using an illegal bat while high on performance-enhancing goofballs while taunting the plate umpire or whatever. Get it? Awesome. Now, feel free to watch the video we so verbosely explained.
