Appearing on “Late Night” with host Seth Meyers on Wednesday, NBC Sports' Bob Costas defended his recent political commentary controversies, including his strong advocacy of gun control:

,br> "You know, I think we live in a culture where people who are angry are more apt to weigh in or people who have an extreme view are more apt to weigh in. and they have more ways than ever to do it," he said.

“Here’s what I would say to anybody who any time they hear the word guns automatically goes off, like, ‘Oh, they’re going to repeal the Second Amendment, Let’s make a bet, you and me," Costas added. "Let’s say over the next five years we’ll do a Google search. We’ll have an independent party monitor it. You keep track of how many good and constructive things are associated with athletes having a gun, and I’ll keep track of all the tragedies and criminality and folly. And let’s see who comes out ahead or behind as the case may be.”
