Bob Costas anti-gun rant on Sunday Night Football


Recommended Posts

Did anyone else just watch this!? He came right out and blamed handguns for the murder/suicide tragedy in Kansas City. Absolutely sickening! I just wrote my disgust on the SNF facebook page, and to my surprise I was not the only one, many had wrote already. If you feel strongly about this I urge you to do the same and pass the word, we do not need this kind of thing to become the norm.

Yeah I doubt this NFL player bench pressing 425 pounds, I really doubt he could've strangled her to death, so Bob come live with me, Friday night had a really suspicious vehicle lurking in the shadows near midnight, wife and I were finishing a movie, we're the only ones on the road, the 12 gauge got loaded just in case, hoping it was high school boozers but today you never know there's a few driving these mobile meth labs in our county we're hearing, I just don't want to be sitting there unable to defend my family either Bobby. I think most of the blame needs to go to the individual who pulls the trigger Robert.

Hold on new Reality TV...........Bobby C. Goes to Cicero to collect firearms on Friday night at Midnight in dimly lit neighborhoods. He's got this great idea, this idea is poor, like everyone gets but he won't be involved in the ground work of getting it done, someone else right Bobby can go risk their life while I rock Rockefeller central. Must be Big City pollution that gets to some of these guys, they forget where there wheaties come from. I'd watch Robert in Swat gear collecting firearms from hard core criminals in a second. His bullet proof gear would look like swiss cheese.

Just to be clear, Bob is quoting the writing of a Kansas City author of some type. He clearly says he doesn't always agree with what the author "Whitlock" (?) says, but he does seem to agree with "this" article...which is what he is "reading aloud" during the broadcast.

Also, he (Bob Costas) certainly didn't create this segment of the broadcast on his own. This was done with the writers, producers, owners, and teams consent from all the NFL, and NBC sports. To point fingers at Bob in this is simply foolish, and short sighted.

I'm not defending the broadcast, but I am not opposed to it either. There will always be anti gun folks out there. It's a fact of life. There are certainly way too many inner-city, gang-related, senseless shootings, but banning hand-guns will not put a stop to that.

Education, respect, and appreciation for the lives of fellow man will go a long way to curbing senseless violence. But it's a nearly impossible task to educate people who don't want to be educated.

Yep. If I were in "that" tax bracket I'd definitely be following the Democratic party...not!

Not that this has anything to do with this thread, but just for the record, these are the folks that Pres. Obama wants to stick a higher percentage of the taxes with. Ever wonder why he's not getting much support for this reform from the Republican side?

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
