Yep, pretty much. A talking head on TV got on his soapbox. What of it? Doesn't add much to understanding the KC tragedy and it was completely out of place.
If frogs could have wings they wouldn't bump their butt when they hop.
lain:
Yeah....Pretty much. Besides, I didn't care about what Bob Costas said before...Why would I care now? :idunno:
Some are saying Bob Costas should be fired for his remarks.
What say you????
What say you????
Canning him would be a little much.
I don't think they should fire him UNLESS... the backlash is so great that it's hurting business.
I would think this sort of thing would blow over quickly.
I have always thought Costas is a smug little turd and of course now I like him even less. But I don't think he should be fired over something like this anymore than I thing Rush Limbaugh should be fired over the stuff he has said that gets liberals all in a fit.
No, But he should put a sock in it. :chuckle:

No. I like to keep people like him where I can see them. Let him stir the pot and whip up debate and awareness of what some people are trying to do to our right to keep and bear arms.
People like Costas leave their studio and are likely driven to their gated communities or buildings with security that keeps out the sort of people those in the hinterlands and in less fortunate financial position are vulnerable to. Or they would be vulnerable to if Mr. Costas' notion of America was in play.
Once we had someone fire from the highway into my acreage. By the time I was at the end of my road my neighbors were there and all of us were capable and prepared to protect my family, our families from the idiot in question. The police (sheriff) arrived twenty minutes later.

You blame the shooter, that doesn't mean you cant look at ways of stopping the next shooter getting a gun.
Bob Costas did a lengthy interview on the Dan Patrick show today. Here is a LINK
I encourage anyone who has an opinion on what Bob did to listen. I heard it on the show earlier today and I think Bob did a pretty good job of explaining himself and I'm not as opposed to what he did as I was at first. But even he said he probably should have handled it differently because he had such a short amount of time. He couldn't adequately address what he was trying to say.
One thing he said is that no one would complain about him using that venue to make his point if they agreed with his point. I don't think I agree with that. I think there is some truth in his and Whitlock's point but I still am not completely comfortable with him using the halftime show to express it.

Not anymore than Don Imus deserved to be fired.
Not at all.
Update:
Bob Costas says gun control segment a bad choice in allotted time frame
Dec 4, 2012
"NBC broadcaster Bob Costas says he erred in trying to take on too complex a subject in too tight of a time frame with his gun-control commentary during halftime of Sunday Night Football—a piece that created considerable controversy in the wake of the murder-suicide committed by Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher last weekend.
Appearing as a guest on The Dan Patrick Show on Tuesday, Costas said he is not out to repeal the Second Amendment, and he wishes he had more time to explain his position than the 90-second segment afforded him.
“If I had to do it again, I think what I would have said was, if you’re looking for perspective on this, if we’re truly looking for perspective on this, and not merely saying, “Well, this is so sad that for a few minutes it took my attention away from the Seahawks-Bears game” … then a discussion should ensue within sports about the football culture, the gun culture, domestic violence, those issues which we don’t have time to address in the limited space here … (they) should be discussed if we’re looking for some kind of elusive perspective after an event like this,” Costas told Patrick..."
