NBC Sports talker Bob Costas caught plenty of heat for launching into an anti-gun rant in the wake of the murder/suicide committed by Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher.
Last night, Costas waded into the subject once more, but this time he brought up the George Zimmerman case to buttress his points.
"What does common sense tell you about the likelihood of that confrontation ever taking place in the first place if George Zimmerman was not carrying a gun?"
Not so fast. Costas' own network is being sued for shoddy journalism involving Zimmerman's case. That didn't prevent the sportscaster from weighing in with more curious quasi-predictions like how he said with certainty that both Belcher and his girlfriend, Kasandra Perkins, would still be alive if the football player didn't possess a gun.

“...the likelihood of that confrontation ever taking place in the first place if George Zimmerman was not carrying a gun?”
Seeing as how Trayvon instigated the confrontation, the question should be “What is the likelihood of that confrontation ever taking place if Trayvon Martin knew that George Zimmerman was carrying a gun?”
Let's continue with the hypotheticals:
What outcome do you think would sorely disappoint me?
How will this end, do you think?
What did I get wrong, in your opinion? Or, where am I off base?
Dang. Maybe this is a way for conservatives to go after the media. Organized, vocal opposition to their slanted reporting during the comment period for their licenses.
Bob thinks he has important things to say. Hey Bob, shut up.
I have been saying this for over 20 years, which is when I turned off my TV to just about everything, and since Fox News was born in 96?? I have not seen a Network Broadcast.
I never watch network news.
How many bullets did Belcher pump into Perkins body? I can only guess what he'd have done with a knife, club or his fists. Belcher was a mentally unstable, big, violent man.
Bob Costas is an example of why the MSM needs to be boycotted, 100%.
A rich midget with a hair piece who lives under the careful watch of armed bodyguards opines for the rest of us about gun rights.
Go F yourself, Bobby.
We need to flood their phone banks with calls screaming for this a-holes removal. They fired Hank Jr for less.
Boycott anyone who advertises during his time on air. Call them and tell them that is going to happen.
This loud mouth fool needs to be unemployed ASAP.
I would hate to be the lawyer for NBC Comcast right now. Zimmerman is going to own this network
“he said with certainty that both Belcher and his girlfriend, Kasandra Perkins, would still be alive if the football player didn’t possess a gun.”
Let’s see, a 250 pound linebacker if he didn’t have a gun, well there is also a pillow, a knife, his bare hands, a blunt object to the skull, a speeding car into a wall...whatever.
If Belcher didn’t have squat except the rage and anger he felt at that time, he would still have snapped her head like a twig. Without a gun, they would have still both been dead, dead, dead.
Costas is a F’ing moron.
Costas, the “Ass Hat”, just doesn’t know when to keep his stupid mouth shut.
