Bob Costas Anti Gun Rant...

[MikeBjerum]

It was bad enough in print, but the verbal drama doubles it 

By the way, shouldn't NBC expect a little originality for their multi-million dollar contract with this talking head.

As jaybet suggests, bombarding the NFL with emails might be more effective than doing the same to NBC. It's the NFL image that is being tarnished by the likes of Bob Costas. Bob's political commentary has no place in a broadcast that is licensed and paid for by the NFL. Bob has a personal right to say what he did, but to do it on NFL paid time is not his right. If the NFL leans on him, then other broadcasters will get the message as well. If you want to rant to the NFL: go to NFL.com, scroll to bottom of the page, click on "contact us" and have at it.

Yeah right .   
Seen Hank Jr. on there lately ?

Good point, Tom. So, do you think that silence brought Hank jr down? I don't.

No .
What I think is that the NFL doesn't give a sh!t about your opinion, or my opinion.
They know that there are enough complacent, brain dead, sheep who will continue to keep their profits in the billions no matter what they do.
It's not like they're competing with something important like "Dancing with the Stars", or "2 1/2 Men".

Tom,

The NFL is concerned about everything that happens on a broadcast of their product.  Pressure on the NFL will not hurt.

Bombard the NFL and NBC with polite, short, educated, to the point communications concerning Mr. Costas' comments during an NBC broadcast of the NFL game.

Couple of days ago, I was going to make a post to some thread and  would  have posted something like.......

"Supporting unproductive members of society is fine as long as it is totally voluntary...like with entertainers and athletes."

I was at the Chiefs game yesterday when I got a text about Whitlock's idiot rant. After the 3+ hour drive home I had managed to forget about the idiot's column. I got to turn on the game at halftime when I got home just in time to see Costas' repeated drivel. What a weekend. A coward and a monster commits his crime and, again, anti's use the tragedy to pontificate and confuse the issue. Ridiculous. At least the Chiefs didn't glorify belcher in any way. Just a moment of silence for victims of domestic violence.

Terrible tragedy. I wish the monsters who commit murder/suicide would START withe the suicide part!

 

Dyslexic suicide....... it'd be a start.

The NFL would definitely be a better forum for emails and calls than NBC...since Costas was simply putting his personal touch on NBC's corporate views.

Also, send emails to the companies that advertise with NBC during the games........ The backlash heard from the gun culture on the Wounded Warrior flap a few weeks ago shows that we have the numbers to make a splash when we want to......we just have to all want to at the same time.

We need to bombard both, because in the world of contracts between leagues and broadcasters Mr. Costas represents both.  NBC has a phone number we can use, and the NFL only puts out an email address.  Use them both!

To use improper English....but decidedly proper southern: I done did.
