Bob Costas Anti Gun Rant...

[TexGun]

As a part of his commentary during halftime of the Cowboys/Eagles game, Bob Costas chose to quote from an article written by a Kansas City sports writer who wrote an article about the murder suicide that took place involving a Chiefs player and his girlfriend this weekend. 

To paraphrase...If it wasn't for our current gun culture that player would not have killed his girlfriend and then himself.  If handguns weren't readily available fewer people would be killed when arguments escalate.

Thanks Bob!  Way to responsibly use your national sport pulpit to spread the ignorance around!!!

Rant off...

Is Bob Costas still alive ?
I thought he did 10 or 20 years ago.

Nope that was just his career.

This isn't his first anti-gun rant.  He is trying to be the next Howard Cosell with his deep thinking ramblings.  Sadly he forgets that he is an idiot.

I heard about this and am hoping it will show up on youtube so I can see it.  Normally I would have had it on, but for strange reasons we are down to one TV and it is on Food Sunday evenings.

By the way, can Costas prove that had guns not been available that it wouldn't have been a knife, bat, rope, car, extension cord ...

Good question. Lets test it. I say we put Bob and say, Michael Vick in a room with a rope, a knife, a gun and a baseball bat and play a tape of Costas calling Vick the N-word. We'll see which implement gets used.

FQ,

With your list Costas will be dead.  However, according to Costas if you leave the gun out of the mix nothing will happen.  Sure, maybe Vick will scream until he has a stroke, but Bobby Boy will be just hunky dorey.

Replace the gun with a pit bull.

Saw it and was really ticked. If an NFL linebacker wants his girlfriend dead he doesn't need a gun. What an opinionated POS.

We really should be blasting the NFL Network with emails, but I don't know how to reach them.

Costas works for NBC.
You could try that route but it would be like banging your head against the wall and just as productive.

MB's blog has a link to the original asshat that wrote the drivel that Costas was parroting.

Now there's a pleasant image!
