Cowherd has his schtick, but I actually disgree with you. In all of his entertaining occasionally he'll have a an opinion on something that is pretty good. Much like music sports talking heads are an acquired taste. For instance, I can't stand Rome, but a lot of people like his show.
On the subject of Cowherd having an opinion on something that is "original" or "pretty good"....."original" in my history of listening to him means it's retarded and just flat out off the reservation stupid...and "pretty good" usually meant it was so basic that even Maynard could understand it.
i think fedex is getting a bit salty because he has some sort of sports podcast and wants to believe its original and entertaining. but the fact is that all media is the same boring repetitve self serving try to be the first to report or try to be the most shocking media source. It doesnt matter if its world, state, local, news or sports media....its all the same BULLSHIT! They are all trying to get more people to tune into their broadcast in anyway they can.
case in point
Derek Jeter today laughed off insinuations by Skip Bayless of ESPN's "First Take" that his excellent 2012 season was the result of using performance-enhancing drugs.
if after listening to that you are still defending the media in any way you should be shot
What a fucking failure.Comment

I don't really listen to Cowherd, but what I've heard has been beyond terrible. I used to listen to Rome just because he was a jerk...it wasn't really for his sports insight. I can understand Skip Bayliss' schtick because he is basically playing devil's advocate on all sports-related topics. I haven't really figured out Cowherd's angle, though. Its like he used to follow sports so he can talk the talk, but he doesn't really follow sports anymore so his "insight" is similar to a random poster on a team message board. One time he had Wilbon on and they were debating who would get the next Olympics after the Brazil 2016, and Wilbon said it had to be a US city because the US hasn't hosted an Olympics since 1984. Come on...someone at ESPN has a brain, right? Where is that person?Comment

I know you listen to Colin Cowherd, so you probably already know this, but during the summer of Lebron, his show and all of the shows on ESPN TV & radio were wall to wall Lebron. Somebody called up and complained, so in typical Cowherd fashion he ran the guy down and basically said, and im paraphrasing in my best Colin Cowherd:
"Listen buddy, we have very smart people who work here, and we know what hooks listeners & viewers. We get company directives handed to us every morning detailing what to talk about based on what research tells. We aren't going to sit here and break down games, Lebron is THE story, we are going to talk about Lebron. When Favre is THE story we are going to talk about Favre. Normal people don't listen all day like you do in your moms basement, most of our listeners are smart people, professionals, who listen for ten minutes in the car, blah blah blah typical troll Cowherd stuff"
Jets, apparently, are THE story right now. And Cowherd has no professional credibility. He's a corporate chump who gets handed his directive every morning, and finds his troll angle. Cowherd is a fun listen sometimes, but it's obvious he isn't in this to be a great sportstalk host, he's in this to become the biggest star he can possibly be. Shit, he essentially admits that. Cowherd talks about Lebron, Kobe, CFB, NFL, Tiger, Tebow 90% of the time. He admits on air, that the only baseball team he will watch/follow is the Yankees. Sound familiar?Comment
