BOB COSTAS: And for a long time, I’ve been wanting to get off my chest my disgust with this idea that every time something tragic happens, no matter what it may be, that in any way touches sports, there’s a chorus of people saying, 'You know, this really puts it in perspective.’ Which is a bunch of nonsense, because if that was true, we wouldn’t have to have that perspective readjusted every time the next tragedy occurs. It’s a bunch of nonsense.
And what I was trying to say was, that if you want some perspective on this, there are a number of issues related to this that we could begin to talk about and think about. The problem was that I didn’t have enough time to get to many of them. And that, I think, was my mistake, to be quite honest, Dan. A friend of mine in broadcasting pointed this out to me yesterday, and I agree with him. He said, ‘You violated your own rule.’ Because we have had this discussion before. I’ve always said, if you’re going to get into touchy topics, nuanced topics, make sure that you have enough time to flesh them out, that you have enough time to make yourself fully understood, or save them for forums where you do. In this particular situation, the timeliness of it was, if you’re going to comment on it at all, it had to be this Sunday. Because this is when the Belcher situation had played itself out.

Hank Williams Jr was fired for less.....
Hey, does anyone remember that retired football player who murdered his ex-wife and an innocent bystander with a knife? Who was that again? Oh yeah, it was OJ Simpson, Bob Costa’s long time studio colleague.
I’m wondering, did Bob, (who knew the killer more intimately than he knew this KC linebacker), speak out against the use of knives?
“And what I was trying to say”
Don’t you just hate that? We hear it all the time from liberals. If they are the smartest people in the world, why can’t they be more articulate? Someone is always having to reinterpret them, or have do-overs.. Truth is, their mouths overload their a—es, then they twist their comments with “what I or they meant to say.”
Well said..too bad that Costas hadn’t used your words.
..The Midget thought he’d put on the brown shirt and get a few feathers in his Odungo cap...but it backfired and the higher ups got flak, so he had to go out and “explain” how being a midget libtard has it’s bumps in the road.
You believe that was an honest apology?
What I believe is, if he didn’t possess/own a gun, he and Kasandra Perkins would both be alive today.
Oh, so now Costas is telling us that we're the idiots who simply didn't understand what he said, huh?
Just another Liberal non-apology, "apology".
Costs is a noisy runt lacking in brains, facts or relevant experience. He thinks he’s smart because he can read other peoples’ words as well as a clever eighth grader can.
What a load of crap. He really thinks, I suppose, that in order to preempt this backlash he was nuanced enough to use words like “a bit” to suggest more issues were plaguing him with his perspective nonsense? And when, incidentally, did he plan to come out with the rest of the “bits”, instead of focusing in on something as non-controversial as gun control.
What really stinks is he hasn’t the guts to stand on his own principles when confronted with what anyone should have foreseen would be blow back. He’s giving us his take during a prime time NFL game.
That's exactly correct, and they never mean it, either.
There is one. It just keeps getting buried.
...the little hair-dyed, botox'ed, limousine liberal, puke bowl hypocrite.
MSG FOR: BOB COSTAS
FM: OLD SARGE
SU: YOUR NON-APOLOGY
PRIORITY: IMMEDIATE
1. FAH-Q!
2. NOTHING FOLLOWS.
EOM
Unbelievable! This POS needs to lose his g’damn job...
I won’t watch SNF if he is on.
Handguns exacerbate our flaws! They bait us...?
Oh yeah, Costas was simply misunderstood. Evil guns, like SUVs, ensnare many, many law abiding citizens to get drunk, sleep with other women, and then murder a girlfriend with whom one has a child. Wow, guns sure are powerful!
Yeah, he could have just called us 'heartless'. :-P
He made a huge mistake and charter got the news today.
