BOB COSTAS: And for a long time, Ive 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, theres 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 wouldnt have to have that perspective readjusted every time the next tragedy occurs. Its 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 didnt 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. Ive always said, if youre 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 youre going to comment on it at all, it had to be this Sunday. Because this is when the Belcher situation had played itself out.

So if Costas had a handgun then he would literally drool on himself and
only schizophrenics would understand his commentary?

There was no apology in there. He went on to say that no citizen except the military or LEO’s should have access to semi-automatic firearms. He’s an idiot.
Poor little guy. What really irked him is that people called for and are calling for NBC to fire him. I wonder what he thought about Limbaugh and his commentary on that quarterback whose name escapes me. I wonder if he thought Limbaugh should be replaced. Maybe he pontificated about that.
Bob forgot who watches NFL football.
I wonder if Costas has his own private armed security.
“Well I give him credit for at least recognizing his error. Most people never do and much less say it to the public.”
He’s not, though. He’s apologizing for not taking *enough* time ranting against guns and that we, in our ignorance and reactionary thinking, misunderstood his wisdom and insight.
You can expect a lot of this over the next few years as libs feel it’s safe to turn everything into an opportunity to push their political agenda. The only way to counter it is with outrage strong enough to remove them or at least make them in fear of their jobs enough to stick to *doing* their jobs.
Anything less lets them feel immune to criticism; and then you can expect it to get really ugly, strident, and nauseating.
He should be fired
:o)
So he wasn’t wrong to challenge our Second Amendment rights, he was just wrong to do it without having enough time to make an even bigger ass out of himself.
Yeah, putz + putz = bigger putz.
Sounds like a putzaholic. Probably needs a 12 step program...
When I watch SNF, it’s with the sound muted. I’ve been watching the NFL since 1956. There’s nothing left they can tell me.
Amen. That is the bottom line.
He is the typical obama supporter...and after he says something that the public reacts, then they come back and say...WHAT I REALLY MEANT TO SAY, OR I MEANT THIS AND THAT...napscooordinator is is called DEMOCRAT COVER UP...plain and simple...Costas knows he is getting slammed big time...
ever notice how Jay Carnney always tries to explain what the president REALLY, REALLY MEANT!!!!!
hope Costas ends up jobless..would serve him right!
obama does it all the time, knows he'll get corrected by his folks to make it all better and right!
I’ve heard that “apology” before.
Colin Cowherd on ESPN this AM defended Costas and claimed the police are armed to protect us and the NRA is an extremist right wing organization that drives moderates from the GOP!
hope Costas ends up jobless..would serve him right!
Nice. Real conservative of you. No wonder that is the best you can do in life.....lolololol....I did not call you a loser, but......
This midget Costas kid is a pure lefty POS.
