NFL Murder-Suicide Leads to Anti-Gun Pontificating at Half Time
Bob Costas pitches gun control during half-time commentary at the Eagles-Cowboys game
Bob Costas made his case for gun control during halftime of the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys game Sunday.
His comments were spurred by Saturday's tragic murder-suicide, in which Kansas City Chiefs starting linebacker Jovan Belcher,25, fatally shot his 22-year-old girlfriend Kasandra Perkins -- also the mother of his 3-month-old child -- then drove to the stadium and shot himself.

Good point. Without a gun, there's just no conceivable way a starting linebacker for a professional football team could have killed a 22 year old woman...
