Costas blasts Panthers over handling of Hardy situation

[Cj72]

I used to like Costas years ago but in the last few years he has turned into the Rosie O'Donnell of sports announcers. He needs to realize he is there for entertainment purposes only and that nobody gives a fug about his crybaby view on anything but sports.

Appeal = Not guilty until trial.

Reading is hard.

I'm an attorney and I'm not even going to try and explain this bc most here are obviously very biased.

Sad part is; McDonald's fiance had visible wounds per the San Jose Police report.

 

Hardy's victim did not, unless I'm mistaken.

 

Nonetheless, there was a drum beat against Hardy and the Panthers, and none with McDonald and San Francisco. The media just took San Fran's word.

 

And to add, Hardy was convicted on a misdemeanor (yes we know he has an appeal pending). McDonald is awaiting a felony (no doubt due to his fiances visible injuries). However, you rarely heard the terms "Felony" or "Misdemeanor" mentioned in the coverage. Of course none of all this seemed to matter, or make it into all the media pontificating.

 

Why the double standard/how could this be missed (we know why)!?

I will give a billion pie to anyone that holds up a "fug COSTAS" sign at the game

Wait for a CBS game.

Well Costas didn't rant about McDonald of Niners activated and playing tonight.

He did talk about it earlier

It should be illegal to allow that idiot on TV.

I'm not a huge Costas fan but he is no idiot. What is it that you do for a living?

I actually met him in 1986 at a Cardinals Spring Training game in St. Petersburg.  Back then, the stadiums were set up where the media folk had to walk through the stands to get to the press box (that's how I got to meet Ernie, Sr., Skip, and Pete with the Braves crew in the same timeframe).  He was actually very humble and welcoming, even though he was barely 5'4".  Who knows what the fug happened to his ego.

49ers defensive tackle is playing. Wow.

[Beast_3000]

someone should beat Costas

I'm sure Costas does get beat by whomever his little lover is. He looks like he enjoys wearing diapers and heels.

Greg Hardy will play next week after this

[tondi]

The media, both sports media and the media in general, long ago stopped reporting the news and instead started creating news.  This news they create involves them shoving their worldview down the throats of whoever happens to be tuning in.

Greg Hardy will play next week after this

I don't think so. I think there is a chance the Panthers let him go this week.

The NFL is in a tough spot and I suspect you will see some new rules soon regarding whether to allow a trial to play out or not before making their own decision.

Most employers would fire an employee for being arrested for domestic violence, much less proven guilty. I refuse to defend or feel sorry for any player like Hardy, even if on appeal he's found innocent.

Really? Most employers would fire an employee for a DV arrest? Based on what data?
