They tried to pass off this fool a few years ago as a comedian and found out that he’s about as funny as Terry Bradshaw. So, now they’re letting him try to be a new Keith Overbite.

He’s still an unfunny, squirrely little jerk with died hair. And he’s not aging well either

Hey Costas, if I had my way gun ownership would be mandated.
You would be mandated to qualify with an assigned weapon once a month, be well versed in the mainenance care and operation of said weapon.
Don’t want it in your house?
Good, it can be stored in a designated location in your neighborhood that you can reach in no more than sixty seconds.

“I love liberals’ apologies!”

Ain’t that the truth! What I can’t tell is if he still thinks it is 2nd amendment’s fault or football’s. It certainly can’t be the individual’s in the mind of a liberal.

“I’m sorry I didn’t take 90 minutes to clarify what was perfectly clear in the 90 seconds I took to say it. I’m sorry my audience understood exactly what I said.”

I don’t believe him sorry because I think that he meant every word that he said. Got caught, now make excuses to save his network from losing some advertisers. His makeup can’t even cover the terrible facial expressions he made while blaming gun owners. I know he has protection through security, wouldn’t you think..

I am not a believer in apologies. If he worked for me it would have costas is job.

What a doofus. It was a stupid thing to say at halftime, or anytime.

He's within a few years of retirement. Maybe they'll buy him out, since he has ruined any cred he had.

“and given the time that I had, I thought that was on aspect that I could put out there and maybe, maybe I gave the audience too much credit, but I said if you’re looking for perspective, a bit of it could be found.”

Sure,,it was just one of many facets of the cause of that nuts violence. I’m sure Costas was -just as likely- to have discussed the glorification of gangsta thug culture in the NFL, dreadlocks hanging two feet below every other helmet, etc./

"Bob Costas' gun control rant was bad but made worse by one key point -- he lives much of his life with the benefit of armed security." (i.e., men with guns).

Oh, the irony! (or is it hypocrisy?)

"maybe I gave the audience too much credit"

Does Costas not understand when to stop the liberal condescension?

I'm SORRY that the RETARDS who watch me have no GRASP of how brilliant I am, and that they are little uneducated MORONS who dare not have the audacity to breathe the same rarified air that I breathe.

So, my APOLOGIES to the trogodytes who just don't get my intellectual pontification.

Costas, the hypocritical prick, makes a very good living in an industry that routinely produces permanent injury to its “workers”, brain and other physical injuries.

When will republicans, for example, learn that liberals are not nice people? They are disgusting stuck up authoritarian scum. This has absolutely nothing to do with the tragedy Costas was supposed to be discussing. Everyone has experienced leftist jerks like Costas, who interject their political beliefs everywhere they don’t belong.

That guy gave me the creeps from day one.

Glad to see that my intuitions were correct for once.

He's trying to be the next Jim McCay, which isn't much of a goal to begin with, but one he will certainly fail to achieve.

Boy, I'll say. Costas is powdered-up worse than an overdone drag queen.

Did ya think it was a bunch of metro-sexual wanna be fagboys that tuned in by accident expecting a ballet?

To late Bobby. Every time your face shows up the numbers will fall off the cliff. Your facetime career is over. Maybe you can work camera 3 in the upper decks.
