Video: Bob Costas on gun control … in the middle of an NFL game
posted at 8:01 am on December 3, 2012 by Ed Morrissey
If you were watching what turned out to be an unexpectedly good and well-played game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Dallas Cowboys last night, then you’ve already seen this strange interlude from Bob Costas last night, in which he used 90 seconds of halftime analysis to pontificate on the need to make handguns illegal. Nothing Costas says in this clip is new or even terribly interesting — Kansas City Chiefs player Jovan Belcher used a gun to kill his girlfriend Kasandra Perkins and himself, so no one should own guns — but the context of his anti-Second Amendment rant was incredibly bizarre, and not just because it came in the middle of a halftime show with “God Bless America” playing in the background:
Why bizarre? Well, if you watched NBC’s Football Night in America last night, you’d already know that the broadcast team could barely even mention the fact that Belcher committed murder. Before and during the game, they used phrases like “lost her life in this tragedy” to describe what happened to his victim and other non-judgmental phrases. Into that context comes Costas to blame … the gun. It was surreal, an experience only interrupted in the post-game show when Rodney Harrison appeared to get a little angry and remind everyone that Belcher killed someone else besides himself. And while I didn’t watch the earlier games during the day, NBC’s crew was not really an exception in how they approached the Belcher murder-suicide story.
Kudos to the Chiefs, however, who dedicated their game yesterday not to Belcher or gun control, but to the victims of domestic violence. That honored the true victim, and highlighted the true social ill.

Thank you for asking on December 3, 2012 at 9:37 AM
Costas = Popinjay.

Should we also HOLD THE TELEVISION NETWORKS accountable for taking advantage of these poor athletes that feel compelled to hurt others?
Practice what you preach about violence………BAN FOOTBALL ON TELEVISION!!!!
Maybe it was the HEAD INJURIES epidemic in the NFL that made him kill?

Big help you turned out to be.

- He could have prayed for the baby girl who is now without parents, and perhaps pointed people toward a college fund NBC was setting up and to which Costas was donating (they are not, to my knowledge).
- He could have asked the team why they had not intervened in the life of this young man with alcohol, pain reliever, and concussion issues.
- He could have prayed for, and expressed condolences for, the families who just lost children, brothers, and sisters, and who are grieving over their loss and this tragedy.
Instead he ranted about the need for gun control. This is a tragedy.
STL_Vet on December 3, 2012 at 9:46 AM
People should begin turning off these networks in mass. A massive massive boycott of not just sponsors.. the very networks themselves.
Don’t tell me boycotts don’t work, They do. The work exceptionally well every time they are tried effectively. The government believes in boycotts. They threaten them all the time. States doesn’t go along with something.. they threaten to withhold school lunch money or road money or some other money.
When Gov. Perry threatened to arrest TSA or whatever he threatened earlier this year…. Obama said.. go ahead… no airline will land planes in your state. That’s a boycott.
If you read history and take a look at pre-code Hollywood. Films ware as trashing then as they are today. But when the Catholic church, and other churches followed… when their congregations actually signed pledges to stop going to movies Hollywood caved and cleaned up their acts.
It’s a myth that boycotts don’t work. But real ones take effort. Honestly… the media gets away with this garbage because we let them.
JellyToast on December 3, 2012 at 9:47 AM
We are told by those on the left we are paranoid about gun control. (Until after the election.) And as soon as they gain a slight upper hand the same people ask why we need guns in the first place.
Any real attempt to disarm legal owners of guns in America will be taking things to the next level. You can call me anything you want, but once they take your guns The Constitution and Bill of Rights isn’t worth the parchment they’re printed on.
PS
Those who value their gun rights but concede “sane” gun laws, just know my comment above is what they most fear and why they know they need to do it incrementally.
Fight every attempt from here on.
hawkdriver on December 3, 2012 at 9:48 AM
“If Jovan Belcher didn’t possess a gun, he and Cassandra Perkins would both be alive today.”
Tell that to Chris Benoit’s family.
munseym on December 3, 2012 at 9:51 AM
NBC never features any gun play in its shows, right Bob?
If guns were outright banned and somehow confiscated, NBC would still glorify gun violence in its programs seven days a week.
Akzed on December 3, 2012 at 9:51 AM
Because no one ever did a murder-suicide by sitting inside a closed garage with the engine running.
Susan Smith killed her sons by driving her car into a lake.
We must ban automobiles.

This from a man who named his child after Kirby Puckett. Nice role model, Bobby.

The same way they sell their war flicks, (another venture they shy away from in real life) by IDing what sells and them making a profit from it.
I’m with JellyToast. Boycott the entire media. Maybe time to return to a Christmas of home made gifts and acts of love.

Just like when black Jesus comes on the TV, when Costas comes on the air I will turn sound down and go grab a snack or go to the bathroom or change channel. When he is done I come back and watch the game or financial channel I was watching before. Everyone should do this. Just start boycotting these charlatans.

As a former die-hard Cowboys fan (prior to the Jerry Jones era) I watched the game last evening. I primarily hung in until the half time show to catch up on the days scores that I missed. I agree the game was better than some of late.
In any event – the entire halftime show – was dedicated to pontificating in general and wee Bob Costas lecturing me about gun control! I got so mad I switched to a re-run of the movie, Heidi.
What a crock of sanctimonious ca-ca!! Somebody try to convince me that when that little career bat boy goes out in public that he doesn’t have ARMED guards to protect his safety…..
A pox on him – his house – and his ilk…. especially his ilk.
They never did mention one score – nor one murder….
Pecozbill on December 3, 2012 at 10:02 AM
Don’t forget, it’s not just Costas who said that, but whoever wrote that horrible speech he was looking into the teleprompter for should take some heat too.
The minute you let any kind of anti-gun legislation pass is the minute you lose your freedom.
Durka-Durka on December 3, 2012 at 10:03 AM
What’s the “point” Dave? That the left ultimately wants to take our weapons? Or was he speaking euphemistically?
Here’s the “point” Dave. You’ll never take away America’s weapons. So you shameless lying f@cks on the left who say that isn’t your goal, stop “your” crying.

NFL better get on the stick to the Human Facelift’s owners and tell him to STFU or perhaps we should start bitching about a REALLY CLOSE LOOK at the league’s members?
harlekwin15 on December 3, 2012 at 10:04 AM
I wish I could hark back to a time when I would hear that phrase about a Jets game, but I can’t seem to hark hard enough or something :/
Yeah, Costas should really have known better…he’s no noob to sports broadcasting. Particularly saying that if Belcher didn’t have access to a gun, he and his girl would still be alive today. That is absolutely a disgusting…for lack of any better word here. I couldn’t believe it when I heard it. But there it is.
Pure speculation here, but if Belcher had driven him and his girl off a cliff into a lake, Not Costas or anyone else would blame access to automobiles for these horrific deaths. Or knives, or poison…seems only guns can be spoke of this way.
Unreal.
JetBoy on December 3, 2012 at 10:04 AM
Did anyone ask Costas? I mean I expect such an uneducated comment from someone like Jason Whitlock in his newspaper, but Costas just embarrassed himself on national tv. My guess is three quarters of the audience he was talking to last night owns at least one gun. Way to insult America. Stick to baseball Bob.
Ellis on December 3, 2012 at 10:04 AM
Dan Patrick show this morning was interesting. DP, who I am neutral on, seemed to agree with Costas. Tony Dungee, who walks on water as far as I’m concerned, was a little more balanced. Said he has never owned a gun, never fired a gun and didn’t see the need for one, but none the less said that argument was over. Said that on opening day of training camp, over 3/4 of *the Colts* players said they owned guns. The team would then bring he FBI in to brief the players on the law, then explain the NFL and team rules for gun possession.

Incidentally, Al Michaels is as conservative as Bob Costas is a leftist.
But a lot of viewers are unaware of that because Michaels, pro that he is, doesn’t use his Sunday Night pulpit as a soapbox to pontificate his political views the way his small-minded, and small, colleague does.
I used to have a world of respect for Bob Costas. Now he’s just another useless elitist lefty to me.
Right Mover on December 3, 2012 at 10:09 AM
We’ve already won the debate on gun control. The public overwhelmingly agrees. Costas is the crybaby.

You joke, but you’re right. Unbelievably right.
Swimming pools kill 100 times more children than guns. Yes. 100:1.

Happy Nomad on December 3, 2012 at 10:14 AM
I’d say that Costas’ little rant from the safety of a broadcast booth was pathetic. I suspect that no one in the stadium heard Costas’ comments because the booing would still be echoing off the rafters this morning. If he truly felt this was something important, he should have manned up and walked out on the 50 yard line of Cowboy Stadium and given that speech – without security or body guards.
2nd Ammendment Mother on December 3, 2012 at 10:14 AM
And Little Bobby Costas will feel so warm and yummy knowing that only police have guns… because that is the definition of a Police State… good job, Little Bobby! Love that advocacy for a Police State as ‘saving lives’ of citizens! Now can you name a Police State where citizens are not the main victims of the Police?
I’ll give ya time to research that, Bobby-boy.
But wouldya shut yer trap until you do the freaking research?

Hey Bob, how much gunplay do you suppose is being depicted on your network’s Law & Order Special Victims Unit episodes each week?
Right Mover on December 3, 2012 at 10:15 AM
Make no mistake.
The Celebrity-in-Chief and his left-media hive acolytes are not going to let this “crisis go to waste” and are going to go full bore (npi) on new ‘gun control’ measures, probably by executive order.
Dr. Carlo Lombardi on December 3, 2012 at 10:16 AM
More guns have been sold recently than people have voted in many areas.
I welcome that genius move by Giggles.
harlekwin15 on December 3, 2012 at 10:18 AM
Maybe its not the gun.
Maybe Football made him do it.
Maybe he could have used a knife, or a rope, or poison or just tackled her hard.
Maybe a sportscaster pissed him off and drove him to do it.
Maybe he forgot to take his viagra, or took too much.
Maybe his wife confessed she was a lesbian and his is a homophobe.
Maybe he forgot to vote or voted more than once and was angry.
Or just maybe
Connecticut on December 3, 2012 at 10:20 AM
Alcohol is probably associated with quite a few gun deaths. Ban alocohol and you’ll reduce those numbers. In fact, alcohol probably kills more people every year than anything else.

2nd Ammendment Mother on December 3, 2012 at 10:14 AM
Costas should give the same speech next week at Lambeau, where half the fans (and probably the team) are hunters.

dentarthurdent on December 3, 2012 at 10:28 AM
Would you expect anything less from the state run media commies at NBC? Was Lil’ Bobbay reading directly from Obama’s TelePrompTer? These are the same people that brought you a football game lit by candles or some kind of green gimmick like that. There are certain announcers that you turn the volume down and just watch the game. Costas is one of them. His shortman’s syndrome he has suffered from his entire broadcasting career has made him unwatchable and not worth listening to.
There are leftists who want to ban football because of it’s violence and injury it causes to athletes lives. Yet Lil’ Cost doesn’t mind collecting a big check to describe a sport where grown men are killing themselves slowly for entertainment. His liberal guilt that has him ranting about guns is absent regarding this.
Rockshine on December 3, 2012 at 10:28 AM
Murdering the girl friend makes him a criminal and killing himself saves us the bother of taking care of him for the rest of his sorry life.
mixplix on December 3, 2012 at 10:30 AM
When gibberish like this takes prominence over personal responsiblity, we know the country is in bad shape. Sports broadcasters are not noted for their intellectual abilities and should limit their duties to sports matters Parroting the MSM does not do their profession any good.
savage24 on December 3, 2012 at 10:31 AM
On twitter: “If Bob Costas can support gun control on the air, then Al Michaels should get 3 minutes to argue for a flat tax.”
costas beclowned himself with that ignorant rant. An armed society is a polite society, but lowlife NFL scum is gonna do what they’re gonna do, gun control or no.

saltydogg14 on December 3, 2012 at 10:42 AM
Bob must be up for a contract extension and needs improve his liberal credentials to his masters at NBC. If was intent on killing he could have done it with a baseball bat, knife, his fists, whatever… there are alternatives to ending one’s own life too. It’s not the gun Bob. Belcher was damaged, he just happened to pick the gun as his weapon of choice.
sacfly on December 3, 2012 at 10:43 AM
NBC, Bob Costas, who would ever have thought that they would team up to push gun control???? Ever check on the results of gun control? Like how has it worked in DC or Chicago? Let us never forget to use a crisis or a tragedy to push for outrageous actions to further the desires of the progressives. Push back so that this never happens.

Sad irony is that Tony Dungy’s son hung himself with a rope. Must be difficult for Dungy to discuss the issue.

The NFL used to be one of the few forms of televised entertainment where I could kick back and just enjoy it without having mealy-mouthed liberal talking points slipped in every 5-10 minutes. Awesome job, everybody.
JeremiahJohnson on December 3, 2012 at 10:58 AM
You mean convicted felons surely. There’s another 30% of people like Ben Rapist-Burglar who go out and commit felonies but are able to buy off the victims and witnesses.
CorporatePiggy on December 3, 2012 at 10:58 AM
Actually – it can. I turned it off. I did not watch it and even this morning cannot tell you the score. When my team plays I will listen on the radio.
I will not watch another NFL game on NBC until Costas is removed. If he shows up on other broadcasts on NBC or the NBCSN, I will turn it off.
It can be done – and the NRA has lots of democrats – time to call in some markers. Thank goodness Mr. Harrison showed some perspective – this is about domestic violence. And as we all know – it ends in many different ways and,unfortunately, death by means other than a gun is not unheard of.
Zomcon JEM on December 3, 2012 at 10:59 AM
I’ve never been a Costas fan but spending many years in the St. Louis area and being married to a St. Louis metro area generational native, I have had to listen to the singing of his praises for decades. This is just one more good reason to not like him.

Dave_d on December 3, 2012 at 11:06 AM
Comrade Costas is just doing what his bosses told him to do. They had to sit him down and have him rehearse that script as soon as the announcement came out that there was an excellent anti-gun crisis out there that was just too good to waste.
Why even comrade Bloomie had to get into the act to further burden folks in New Yawk City with his Marxist spiel on top of Bobbie’s joint announcements.
Its a conspiracy, folks.

In case anyone thinks that Democrats are done with gun control, think again: they’re just waiting to get their entitlement state tentacles in deep enough in order to withstand another 1994 type of backlash. They’re well on their way.

Costas has always been a legend in his own mind and has always deemed his voice a beacon of intelligence. Too bad he gets a platform for sh*t like this.
ultracon on December 3, 2012 at 11:14 AM
Put the whole gun thing off to the side – because on that Costas and Whitlock were very worng – no factual basis for the remark – if someone wants you dead bad enough – you will be, we have seen it way too much.
But from a broadcasting perspective – an extended family member of mine in the sports broadcasting biz told me she turned it off as well – not because of the message he was spouting, but because of his insistennce in spouting any message at all. She found it very unprofessional, and unbecoming of a sports broadcaster, to wade into the subject from a political perspective. In essence, she said Costas showed no class. And if my relative were in a management position within NBC she would be asking for Costas’s letter of resignation today, failing which she would fire him for cause.
Oops!!

The gun jumped into the guy’s hand and made him point at the woman and pull the trigger, and then at himself.
If only those guns weren’t laying around jumping into victim’s hands. This must be stopped.
I just typed like a liberal. Now, I have to wash my keyboard. Actually, I’ll just be a liberal and expect you to wash it for me.
Moesart on December 3, 2012 at 11:17 AM
I don’t think this will end well for Costas. You’ve got brain damage, alcohol, and drugs. He blames the gun culture. That is like arguing the primary reason why there is so many drunk driving deaths is the car culture. Good thinking.
STL_Vet on December 3, 2012 at 11:17 AM
Not just ban football on TV…NBC has entertainment shows that have gun violence…so ban NBC.
raccoonradio on December 3, 2012 at 11:18 AM
Bob Costas should go into political punditry full time if he’s so unsatisfied with his sports commentary gig.
theCork on December 3, 2012 at 11:21 AM
Costas was a script reading, talking-head when he started in Tucson. He, like the most of the talking-heads are mental midgets and outside of a few carefully scripted subjects are basically morons. If you had to be marooned on a desert island the LAST person you’d wish to be with would be a script reader from the TV industry. It would not take long for you to fabricate a weapon of some sort and rid yourself of your problem.
Missilengr on December 3, 2012 at 11:21 AM
Anabolic steroids affect each person differently. There is evidence from clinical studies of hamsters injected with steroids that steroids affect brain chemistry, increase agression and diminish impulse control. These effects continue for long periods after the subject has ceased injecting steroids. Therefore, we should take away guns.
Ted Torgerson on December 3, 2012 at 11:25 AM
I used to like Bob Costas when the only thing he did was baseball broadcasts.
By the way, did anyone mention the student who shot his father with a compound bow and then stabbed him (in a school) after killing the father’s girlfriend? Not a gun in sight in that case.

Would you expect any thing different from the NBC crew? They have a tendency to politicize every sporting event they announce. Olympics, golf and now football.
O.T.
Arnold Palmer was one of my greatest heros in the game of golf and a founder of the Golf Channel. Since, he sold out to these scumbags, I find it very difficult and sometimes painful to watch any of his and their programming, thanks for nothing Arnie. If you can tape delay the programs you watch, then I suggest doing so. At least then you can fast forward their garbage.
