Colin Cowherd- douchebag
I have tried listening to this guy but my conclusions is he is a Limbaugh fan and doesn't understand anything outside his"reality". He was putting down OWS today because he "made it". I have listened to this guy and I think he is actually pretty unknowledgeable about sports. He seems only to understand greed and money.

1. He's a douchebag, but I don't know about the limpball thing.
He's more of a blowhard than anything else. He got dumped here in the DC area about 6-7 years ago. He got replaced by Tony Kornheiser (actually quite liberal), and the second half by John Thompson (former Georgetown coach and father of the current one)

I swear John Thompson is a stoner. He can ramble on for two hours about nothing and at the end of those two hours is still trying to figure out what he started talking about at the start of the show.

2. Total douchebag
The first time I heard him he was explaining how athletes would rather sign with teams where there isn't a state tax. I detected a bit of projection on his part. The Yankees and Red Sox don't seem to have any problems with signing players.

:shrug:

3. that's actually a popular theory
to explain the moves the Big Three made to Miami. It also is used to explain why Toronto can't get free agents (very high taxes, relatively speaking, in Canadia).

4. I like Cowherd
Don't listen to his radio show very often but he and Michelle Beadle make "SportsNation" the best show on ESPN.

6. Locking. Not LBN.
Most sports jocks are righties (except Dan Patrick), but Cowherd is, well, douchier than most.

9. ESPN is overrun with Limbeciles
Except for Korheiser, Wilbon, and Greenberg, their hosts tend to be far right-wing loons who insist on ruining what should be sports talk with unpaid ads for Repukes and slams of Dems. Mike Golic, Dan LeBetard, Reece Davis, Colin Cowherd, Lou Holtz, Chris Fowler, etc. are all right wingers. Meanwhile, have you ever hear any Repuke bashing? Not gonna happen.
