Bob Costas is an AZZHAT
I actually turned off the Eagles vs Cowboys game Sunday night after his half time anti-gun commentary. Specifically his blatant false, misleading, and incendiary comments that: IF BELCHER DID NOT HAVE A HAND GUN THEY WOULD BOTH STILL BE ALIVE - he does not know that and it would be highly unlikely. It's a dam shame what happened, but it was not the gun's fault. What bullcrap, guns do NOT kill people, you can hold a gun in your hand for eternity and it will not shoot you. Who the he!! does Costas think he is to say crap like that DURING A FOOTBALL GAME? He is entitled to his opinion and expessing it in the proper forum would be acceptable, but that crap Sunday night has really pizzed me off. I refuse from now on to watch any program that Costas is on. I think the Network should can his azz immediately.

I totally agree. Costas has always came across as a dumbass to me and that stunt he pulled lastnight pretty much proved it. There is a huge population of football fans that are calling for him to lose his job over it, and I think that any other outcome would be unfair. Hank Jr. got canned for a lot less. I am always amazed at how stupid people are that think that guns are the problem. Look around your house and see how many things could be used as lethal weapons, and I'm not talking about knives and baseball bats here. The bottom line is Belcher was a scum bag for what he did, and the gun was only the tool he chose to accomplish his cowardly act. He wanted to kill that girl and if nothing else he would have beat her to death.

IMO, Costas is a friggin' government puppet! I bet if one was to dig deep enough he would be tied into Hilary Clinton and her anti-gun clan. To boot that SOB took air time for a football game and used his position as a commentator to spread his semantics. I am completely dumbfounded that NBC hasn't said anything about his dumb@$$ being reprimanded. Then again I've been avoiding all NBC networks and as usual I avoid the media period. This just helps solidify my reasons for avoiding it.

Something else happened on Saturday regarding a NFL team employee. I haven't heard nearly as much about it but a Cleveland Browns grounds keeper hung himself in a Browns equipment shed, he was discovered on Sunday. I only mention this to illustrate that it doesn't take a gun to kill one's self or someone else. The fact that 2 NFL employees committed suicide (and murder) on the same day shows that guns aren't the issue. The Browns ground keeper should still be alive, right?? He didn't have a gun.
The idea that more strict gun control will make the nation safer is completely absurd, on so many levels. Criminals will always have guns, regardless of what laws are in place. Fortunately, things are going in the right direction. More states have concealed carry laws in place than ever before. Castle Doctrine laws have been passed in a number of states and our basic right to protect ourselves, our loved ones and our property is fully intact in most states and cities. I've never been a huge Bob Costas fan but I've always thought he was good at his job, he's never bothered me like a lot of announcers do. I've lost all respect for him after this and agree that he should be fired. Shame on NBC if they don't remove him from SNF.

If we'd had tougher gun laws, OJ wouldn't have shot Nicole Brown Simpson with that knife.

I can only echo what you guys have already said. He should have been canned by now. I would bet he has a body guard who is packing heat. But HIS protection is more important than the rest of ours I suppose. He and others like him make me sick. Maybe there should be a knife mailing stunt where everyone mails a knife to him with the blade painted red along with a note about knives kill as well as guns do. Just ask OJ.

I mostly object to the continued overuse of the word "tragedy".

Would you prefer "unfortunate event"? I think the killing of Kasndra Williams(?), and her orphaned 3 month old, or Gabby Gifford, the 9 yr old and others killed in Tuscon could be considered "tragedies", or at least their relatives and friends might feel so.(?)

How about "murder?"
I'm not saying it wasn't bad. I simply wish to reserve words for their proper applications. "Tragic" used to imply something was brought on at least in part by a fatal character flaw. Unless the woman had dealt with a lifelong addiction to dating violent guys, it wasn't "tragic". Much the same way the 9/11 attacks weren't "tragic".
