Bob Costas: ‘If Jovan Belcher did not possess a gun, he and Kasandra Perkins would both be alive’
SI.com ^ | Dec. 2, 2012 | SI.com Tracking Blog

NBC sportscaster Bob Costas used his weekly monologue on “Sunday Night Football” to discuss the fallout of the tragedy in Kansas City, urging viewers to move past the cliched coverage of the “perspective” gleaned from the news that linebacker Jovan Belcher killed his girlfriend and then himself Saturday morning.

Costas focused much of his monologue on a column by Fox Sports’ Jason Whitlock, which argued that “current gun culture simply ensures that more and more domestic disputes will end in the ultimate tragedy.” Costas said that although he often doesn’t agree with Whitlock, he found his argument to be spot on this time.

He likely would have bludgeoned her to death

Or like OJ did to Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman, stabbed them to death.

Gun control will do no more to prevent murders and murderers than driver's licenses prevent accidents and traffic fatalities.

Professional football is violent. People have been killed playing football. Should we ban it?

The real problem is football players killing people.

I only watch one show on NBC now, and that’s when it is rerun on another channel.

I couldn’t believe he went there last night. I didn’t watch the 2nd half because of him. I might not watch next week if he’s still on.

Costas' back peddle is so appropriately lame for him.

The boy is excusing the cruel act of murder to advance his political agenda against our 2nd Amendment rights. Typical Leftwing dipshit.

To late. He threw the NFL into the river on his malfunctioning bus. I will never watch the NFL again. They allowed this to hide their own problem.

Just drop the NFL. It sucks these days anyway. No viewers, no ads, no money.

Because he was killed by his own people who had guns. Gun ban didn’t work that well for him.

"If Jovan Belcher did not possess a gun... he and Kasandra Perkins would both be alive"

And if all the handguns in the world were turned into doughnuts... I would never go hungry again!

Frank, did you ever hear anything more stupid... than that?

Yeah, Sammy used to pop off with crap like that... but after I poked his eye out, he came around--

Well, in this high logic, if every man over the height of 5 foot four and one-half inch were killed by a handgun... Bob Costas would be the biggest man around--

And, Bend, if horse manure was a dollar a pound... you could replace old Bob's brain for a quarter and get back two dimes in change.

And speaking of horse manure, while I am glad the Deadskins won last night... I hope and pray they never ever win another game!
