Colin Cowturd on Sean Taylor

[memphisskin]

I head the apology, and I came away unimpressed. He basically blamed Wilbon, Stephen A. Smith, Jason Whitlock and Antrel Rolle, saying that he talked to all of them before he came to his conclusion.

Kudos to you Smootsmack, although I must admit that Cowherd's admission that "no one at ESPN ever told him what topic to discuss on air" smelled rotten from the start. But at least he did react to whatever you said, and for that you get a sincere thanks from me.

I seriously doubt Cowherd reacted to whatever I said. Just a coincidence.

I don't want to let him off the hook for apologizing though. What if he had been right? That wasn't the issue. The issue was the hurtful, arrogant, insensitive way he broached the topic, almost belligerently questioning the rationality of anyone who disagreed with him.

He was and still is a jerk.

I used to listen to Cowherd because I was all about ESPN. Well one day I said this Cowherd guy gets on my nerves what else is out there. That lead me to find Shemon and Jdub on Fox Sports Radio. I think they are funny and a class act, that also led me to fin Steve Czaban who I think is awesome. Cowherd pushed his opinion on you too much, I like to sit back and laugh and get sports information.

Czaban makes Cowherd look like Mother Theresa. He definitely pushes his agenda/opinion on you. And you won't find a bigger a-hole. F Czaban.

I'm a Rome guy myself

Rome arguments are so terrible...but I can't get enough of his delivery.

Ever since I saw Schlereth try to do Jim Rome's gig in his absence, I really have a new respect for the guy's delivery. His sports related arguments are...interesting...to say the least.

The best is when Jim Gray sits in for Jim Rome. They couldn't be more different

Poor Jim Gray looks like a deer in headlights when he subs for Rome. I know they're both reading from the teleprompter, but Romey is SO much better at it than Gray. My gosh. I'm almost embarrassed for Gray when he's out there.

I love Czaban's show but I do get the real impression that he is a major a-hole. Just whenever something doesn't go exactly right on the show you can almost HEAR him staring at the producer or his partner wth the death look. But the pace of the show, how they tackle stuff and the comedy is up my alley.

I gotta say I hate Rome. Always have. Ever since Chris Everett almost killed him way back in the day and all Rome could do was give him that shit eating grin and call hm Chrissy. What a punk.

[That Guy]

CC is a worthless punk who couldn't care less about the facts when they get in the way of his advertising dollars... gotta say something edgy, even if it's completely false and everyone knows it.

I like Rome too.

It's a shame that people can't let the Jim Everett thing go. It's a defining moment but it was so long ago, and even Rome admits he was young and dumb at the time and he crossed the line. He definitely wouldn't do that today, and his career is so much more than that one moment.

He's had a huge influence over the sports radio industry, and I think he's the main reason that punks like Cowturd and Czabe exist.
