Funny, wife and I said the same thing. Guns do not kill people, it was a tragic event but it was done by an individual. I also don't understand the desire to create a memorial for this person, he killed his girlfriend and left a 3 month old without a mother. What is there to memorialize?

I've been a bit surprised seeing some of the people commenting on this on Facebook.

It's like that other football player that shot his wife - OJ Simpson.

He's got a point seeing as how nobody was ever murdered prior to the invention of handguns.

I can only hope Costas' quote will do for his career what Howard Cosell's "little monkey" comment did for his three decades ago.

Wrong audience, Bobby.
