With all the misbehavior of our athletes, I fear that this is just the beginning in blaming guns. Heck, professional sports is full of thugs, so this just makes total sense that they will have a platform for years to come. Have to admit I never saw this one coming.

Bob, you fool, he would have used the knife in the kitchen and jumped off a stadium cat walk.

I f the slave trade was not promoted, there would have been no Jovan Belcher to commit the crime of murder/suicide.

Good think Lizzie Borden did not have a gun!

“Lizzie Borden took an axe
And gave her mother forty whacks.
And when she saw what she had done,
She gave her father forty-one.”

Bob Costas is nothing more than a demented twirp. Let’s see how many murder weapons available.......knives, car exhaust, poison, rope, drug od, motor vehicle, blunt instruments, fists, hands etc.....and many more. Its good the murdering bum took his own life.....the MSM is making him look like a victim. At least, he did the taxpayer a favor by not keeping him fed, clothed and entertained for the rest of his life.

As expected, the liberal weenies on HuffPo are all giving Costas kudos for his stupidity:

What is it about liberals and why are they so totally clueless??? The 2nd Amendment is there to protect the first and ultimately to protect us from a tyrannical government. Whether you own a gun or not, you have the right to defend yourself and a right to own a firearm. If you use it for illegal and/or nefarious purposes, that’s on YOU and not the gun. I mean, really now — this isn’t complicated to understand! But maybe it is for the liberal mind and perhaps that’s why they’re so confused...? Just not smart enough to parse it properly...?

Someone once said that liberals have issues with foresight - or the ability to see long term effects and causes and that’s they they think the way they do. They need to have some kind of political instant gratification always. I really think that might be true— like a cognitive defect. Or maybe not so much a defect as a part of one’s thinking that simply hasn’t been “massaged”. Ok, I’m rambling. Hey this is good coffee!!

Steroids is more likely.

Anti depressants would affect his play on the field—reaction times, endurance, etc.

Steriods can cause manic, explosive behavior.

Someone show this to Costas!

Costas, O.J. Simpson didn't need or use a handgun to kill Nicole and her boyfriend. He just forgot the suicide part.

B.C. is full of B.S. and probably has B.O., and voted for that way too.

It needs to be turned around to a narrative about glorifying drug users in professional sports. That’s the real story here not guns.

The worst of it is, Costas will come to work today patting himself on the back for ‘taking a stand’ and providing ‘edgy and relevant commentary’.

Of course, we know better (and Sunday Night Football’s Facebook page was inundated last night to show it), but NBC won’t do anything and in the end, the drones who can’t do without their Sunday night fix will be right back there next week watching the next game.

If Jovan did not play in the NFL
== = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
If he didn’t play in the NFL it would be on page 11.
If Jovan had been a ‘civilian’ and went to the parking lot and offed himself in front of the Coach and GM, it would have made page 3.

Coach and GM will ‘ride’ this tragedy to keep their jobs - despite a dismal showing by the KCC this year.

Can’t ‘fire’ someone that had the trauma of witnessing a tragedy now can we????

Like an NFL linebacker needs a gun to kill his 100# girlfriend. He could have done it with 1 hand tied behind his back.
