Bob Costas will blame the NFL for not providing alcohol counseling.

Was the dead man wearing his seat belt?

If not, Costas will blame the NFL for not providing seat belt counseling.

Bottom line for Costas...

Non-white individuals are NEVER responsible for their own reckless or violent behavior.

Costas will demand we outlaw cars.

I blame Big Oil. If John D. Rockefeller hadn't perfected refining, we wouldn't have the gasoline and diesel to fuel internal combustion engines.

At least there were no innocent people killed.

I’m sorry, you are not innocent if you get in a car being driven by a drunk.

How come nobody in the MSM called costas a racist for suggesting that the NFL has a “gun culture”...costas talked about ‘Cowboys “ in the gun culture...but he sure didn’t talk about the ghetto -rapper-Thug culture.ha.

Hey Costas, it IS the culture...the ghetto Thug culture..not the guns. Funny how this isn’t happening to the likes of the Mannings, or Tebow.

Football is dominated by Thugs. And thugs also carry guns.

Women, booze, 2:00 a.m.

Like Colin Cowherd says: “If at least two of the three are involved, nothing good ever happens.”

The driver Josh Brent is from Bloomington-Normal. If I am not mistaken he has a midemeanor DUI while at the University of Illinois.

Get Bob on the scene. Maybe he can find a gun somewhere.

Jason Whitlock will write another thought filled column about how the alcohol industry is the KKK and how they are purposely putting booze in the hands of African Americans so they can kill each other. Tomorrow, Bob Costas will deliver another sermon about the dangers of drink

Maybe they will have Elmo doing the halftime show one of these weeks about the dangers of sex with minors. This week, though, I am sure it’ll be bashing of cars and the “NASCAR” culture.

I think the rookies still get the welcome to the NFL classes and they cover all of this.

Each team has a referral program if you need. But you have to step up if your problem is not known by the team.

If he ws charged with manslaughter, he was either driving extremely recklessly or DUI. I have been hit (and hurt) by drivers doing both; I have sympathy for neither.

If Josh Brent didn’t possess a car, Jerry Brown, Jr. would be alive today. [/BOBCOSTAS]

Costas will blame the driver, not the car.....without noticing hlw he contradicts himself. And, he’ll probably get some sort of award.

"One thing's for sure. If Brent hadn't had a car, Brown would be alive today."

Go ahead, Bob. Say it. Say it, Bob.
