Cowherd

I'm done listening to The Herd. He is such a douche. Caught the last half hour of his show and he was talking about big athletes. I get what he was saying, but he was going too far with it. A guy called in and was talking about the difference between Jason Haywood and another guy (can't remember his name) and was proving Cowherd wrong with ability being better than size. Colin was losing the argument and finally said, you are not getting the point and hung up on him.

This is vintage Cowherd, he is right and everybody else is wrong. Always spins the argument and gives examples in his favor, doesn't let anyone spin it the other way and if they start trying he will interupt and hang up on you.

atleast Rome lets you call in and speak your mind

he may disagree with what you are saying, but he still lets you say it

if Rome is on one side, he atleast lets someone on the other explain and argue thier point

Cowherd hangs up on them!

Refuse to listen, can't stand him specifically because of the point you made above.

I think what Rome and Cowherd do is brilliant. They know what they say will make people angry so they get you to listen more.

Guy on local radio is such a fag that I quit listening. He would take a side, right or wrong, just to upset people and he was always right. Eventually I got sick enough of it.

He is still on the air to this day though so he obviously is getting the ratings.

Cowherd is a joke. He rarely makes a good point; he never backs anything up with stats; hangs up on people who disagree; and is supposed to be "cool" but really he's is such a f*ucking geek he cannot pull it off.

Worst of all, for a gambler, he gives no knowledge about sports. I could deal with this if the rest of the show was entertaining, but it is not. He tries to be funny with little skits sometime and it is just brutal.

Espn radio considers him their "sports culture, offbeat guy" which tells you everything you need to know about ESPN radio's vanilla line-up. Cowherd has made some very racist assumptions about black players lifestyles which has been detailed on the web.
