Heh, at the very bottom of the MSM barrel (even below Dan Rather and Walter Cronkite) are the sportscasters.

Bob, you’re a simple minded buffoon. Stick to the only thing you can do, and leave conscious thought to others.

Hey, Bob. Be honest-say it's the ghetto gang bangers and pop culture influence that we are infiltrated with in society.

Costas needs to make one more statement. Something along the lines of:

“I would just like to confirm what is abundantly apparent to everyone at this point. I am an idiot. I am barely capable of sentient thought. Anything I have ever said should be completely ignored as the ramblings of mush headed dolt who should have never said anything. As a matter of fact, I will never say anything ever again.”

Then the world will can the enjoy blessed silence of a mute Costas.

"What I was talking about here, and I'm sorry if that wasn't clear to everybody, was a gun culture. I never mentioned the Second Amendment. I never used the words gun control. People inferred that. Now do I believe we need more comprehensive and more sensible gun control legislation? Yes, I do. That doesn't mean repeal the Second Amendment. That doesn't mean a prohibition on somebody having a gun to protect their home and their family. It means sensible and more comprehensive gun control legislation." - Bob Costas

Translation: I want it to be so difficult to purchase and be licensed to own a gun that no one will be able to do it. That way, we keep citizens from having guns but can pretend that we haven't really violated the Second Amendment. I'm sure that criminals will be happy to obey all the new, stricter gun laws. I also believe in unicorns. Really.

“Gun Culture, not Gun Control.”

Six of one, half-a-dozen of the other.
We know what the hell you meant.
I’m curious, Bob. Just how would you change the “Gun Culture” if not with more “Gun Control”? Oh, maybe you’d start a movement to expel all the gangster wannabe football players? No. I didn’t think so. Just talk about football, Bob, and keep your anti-gun opinions to yourself.

I think Bob is afraid of the football players he talks and writes about. I wonder if he has the guts to talk to some of them in person about their gun ownership and why such big, strong scary-looking men need guns. I could name a few who would be interesting to hear from.

Looks like he's not used to being questioned. "I am Bob Costas, my mere presence means the event I'm covering is important, and after I have pontificated, there is simply nothing else to add."

I've been hitting the remote when he's come on for years.
