The liberal mindset..NOTHING, NOTHING is ever your fault, its always someone elses fault..hey let’s blame the gun..not the guy who actually murdered his girlfriend in front of her mother and baby, nah let’s not blame him..let’s blame the gun..or the knife, or his bare hands, or the car..or anything else except the actual KILLER who I hope is burning in hell right now

Costas is a typical marxist POS using dead bodies to propagandize and score political points. Like Barry diverting coffins from Dover for a photo op.

Mental illness killed that woman but nothing is to be gained At the moment from pointing that out. Barry OTOH has some gun grabber stuff waiting in the wings. What a vile bunch these limousine liberals are.

Costas is trying to protect football (and his own job) by blaming guns for a murder/suicide committed by a football player. Send an e-mail to NBC.

I had a slew of games recorded today, I just now erased them.

Watching a real classic now, “The Long Long Trailer” Lucille Ball and Desi Arnez.

One of the most shameless, over the top examples of demagoguery I've ever heard. Costas playing the idiot quotes the bigger idiot Jason Whitlock and blames handguns for the murder-suicide in KC. Then goes on to state how many young men might still be alive if not for the availability of handguns.

Completely lost any respect for Costas. Might as well have been Himmler stating that if people want guns they should join the SS or SA.

Any notion of personal responsiblity was totally ignored.

Umm, I thinking that if maybe the wife had a gun then maybe she would still be alive?

Costas went on a 10 minute anti-gun screed. “If he would not have had a gun, both he and his girlfriend would be alive.” - WHAT? By that logic, we need to ban football as well, since it leads to higher instances of violence against women. Is Costas prepared to push for the death of his bread and butter, the NFL? And has he never heard of knives, bats, pills, fire, or carbon monoxide? I guess this is our world now with the adults in this country now being the minority.

Has nothing to do with the NFL or watching football, so your annoyance with TV is not germane. It’s about openly advocating keeping people from having handguns.

Yes, he is, and ultimately a Comcast employee.

By not offering someone else a chance to rebut his idiotic rant he did violate the law. Of course the criminals running the FCC right now would never enforce the law or their rules against a liberal nut job. I just wonder if Costas was not working with some Obama brownshirts on this moronic diatribe.

NBC should talk. A lot more football players (and thus their spouses and kids) have had their lives RUINED by the concussions that NBC seems to saviour - in the name of profits.

(p.s., this is how you hit the libs back)

he'd of been happier if the POS simply beat her to death???

the only real difference the gun made was him committing suicide...

Another stat that people don’t talk about is that people that cohabitate have a higher rate domestic violence than people who marry. Under costas logic, cohabiation should be outlawed.

I missed that..watching finale of the BEST show on TV next to Blue Blods which was Boardwalk Empire.

I am now turning off the Dallas game. What a total idiot CostASS is!

As Homer Simpsons said,” My, my..what all these stars don’t know!”

I think Costas needs to go to Chicago, where they have the strongest gun control laws in the country..I think 7 people died last night in Chicago from you guessed it..GUNS..but..but..how can this be..Chicago has such a harsh gun control law..also any sports fan knows that Jason Whitlock is a douche bag

Yep, the ahole who told his audience of the “failed” Bush presidency, but no comment on Obama’s epic fail, has now gone after guns. Wanna bet that he either owns one or uses bodyguards who have guns?

I stopped myself. NBC has decided to blame the method instead of the reason. FU NBC.

Any mention of the guy in Wyoming who used a bow and arrow to kill his father and himself??

Another smug Liberal whose answer to all ills is to take rights away from people and enslave them to government. Buzz off Costas you leftwing nut.
