NEW YORK –– New York Jets Head Coach Rex Ryan, New York Rangers Coach John Tortorella and I’ll Have Another’s trainer Doug O’Neill are scheduled to join Bob Costas, a 23-time Emmy Award-winning journalist and one of America’s preeminent interviewers, on the latest edition of Costas Tonight, a 60-minute interview program, to air on Monday, June 4 immediately following Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final on the NBC Sports Network.

Costas will discuss the Jets off-season with Ryan, including the addition of back-up quarterback Tim Tebow and how Ryan sees Tebow’s role with the team in 2012. Costas will also discuss other NFL topics with Ryan, one of the most colorful coaches in the NFL, including the “bounty” story of this off-season and the tragic suicide of Junior Seau.

In addition, Costas will speak with John Tortorella about the New York Rangers and the 2012 NHL Season.

Costas will then sit down one-on-one with Doug O’Neill, the colorful and controversial trainer of Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner I’ll Have Another as he prepares for the Belmont and the elusive Triple Crown. O’Neill is currently facing a 45-day ban from horse racing for allegedly giving one of his horses an illegal performance-enhancing mixture. His suspension, which he can appeal, will begin no sooner than July 1.
