ESPN 980: Cowturd is an idiot

[Drunken Master III]

Ranting and raving over the Jason Taylor deal. Critisizing Dan Snyder for similiar moves in the past. He thinks we are still going to finish in 4th in the NFC East. States that the Giants, Eagles, and Cowboys talent and coaching neutralizes the JT trade. Time to turn this crap off. I knew it was a reason I stopped listening to this clown.

[IbleedBnG83]

Who exactly are you talking about?

[FanboyOf91]

Colin Cowherd, ESPN Radio's resident asshat.

[gortiz]

he really has to be the worst. He can be funny once in a blue moon, but IT IS SOOOOOOOOOOOO OBVIOUS when he has no clue about he is talking about ... he can't even fake it.

[Fifty Gut]

:laugh: I love how people are always praising the talent of other NFC East teams; other NFC East teams that we always atleast split our series with. When the **** did we start fearing our division rivals? I'm more worried about the AFC North to tell you the truth than the NFC East.

[IbleedBnG83]

Havn't heard this guy, but this is the first that almost everyone seems to think this was a smart move by the Redskins. I'm in agreement. If he plays for a few years it will have been worth it.

I started a thread about Pollin yesterday. Some of these guys are the biggest losers. Its almost as they have no idea what they are talking about. I trust my Redskin brethren that this guy sucks.

[purbeast]

on this topic, wtf happened to sports talk 980? i turne on the radio this morning expecting to hear czabe but instead it's mike n mike with some whacky music and al gaudy giving us some DC sportscenter update.

[OxonHillSkinsFan89]

I realize it's ESPN 980 now but they cancelled the John Riggins Show for this clown?

[redman]

Cowherd likes to bash on the Redskins in part because he knows that 'Skins fans will give him all kinds of attention.

He's no good with NFL football coverage, so just ignore him.

[NoleSkin21]

He said we would finish last in the East. He is a loser. He said this deal looks good on paper, but won't help b/c JT will be gone in one season.

How can you argue with any of the points he made? Take your homer goggles off and see that he's giving an opinion that does have merit. Just cause you don't agree with what he's saying doesn't make him wrong.

The giants won the freakin superbowl, the cowboys are clearly better than us. Without playing a down yet, it's a pretty safe pick for us to finish 3rd or 4th in the division. Rookie head coach, new offense, new head man of the defense. Outside looking in, seems exactly like what it is, a work in progress.

Who cares what the national media says, never has won or lost a single game.

[Reic]

Eh, I listen to his show still, and he is one of the more enjoyable shows imho, he is a pretty funny guy.

Who cares about what his opinion is? Sure I have listened to his show and disagreed with him, but that also happens with every single sports talk show I listen to, even Riggo.

Are those the same teams that we waxed last year. We should have swept the Giants despite their superbowl victory. The Cowboys can have all the talent in the world, but you and I know they always choke.

[Stadium-Armory]

It doesn't bother me when people pick us to finish 4th in the div. So what. Everyone had us as 4th last year too. Fly under the radar, and bring the pain on Sunday.

[pvkeeper19]

Regardless of how you feel about the trade, I'm not sure why you were listening to Colin Cowherd to begin with. That was the real mistake here.

Dude sucks.

[Reic]

Coulda Woulda Shoulda.

The Cowboys went 13-3, won the east, and lost to the eventual superbowl champions. There is no reason why they can't be just as good, or even better, this year.

If I were a betting man, I would put them in first place again in the east.

This is the best way to getto Cowherd. He hates being ignored by listeners.

I decided today would be a good day to tune into the new programming. Decided to try to bear listening to Cowherd, but I've already tuned out and have the Dan Patrick show streaming as we speak.

He really is the worst. 980 has been going downhill for a few years now and the recent shakeup didn't help. I am boycotting sports radio until I get Sirius (except Doc). I am really starting to think the goal is to have these hosts be as annoying as possible.

I've predicted the same thing. Am I a loser?

[Sonny Joe Hog]

I really don't get his point of view.

First of all, the Skins were forced to make this move (or some other move) at DE to be competitive.

Secondly, regardless of how good the other teams in the division may be, shouldn't the Skins be trying to win? The obvious answer is "yes" because they owe it to their fans.

His outlook is that of a loser: basically, he's saying that the Skins can't win their division, so they shouldn't even try. That's nonsense.

[Hail Gibbs]

honestly, i don't think its going to be that bad. Just do like me and don't listen to 980 before 12.

After seeing the new lineup you posted I must soften my stance on 980. But Cowcrap is the most annoying radio host I have ever listened to and I don't like M&M either so no more 980 in the AM for me. For some reason I thought there was another ESPN show in the 2-4 slot in the new schedule.

My sports listening was previously spread between 980 and 92.7 and I used to like how 980 offered a different more local flavor.

[IbleedBnG83]

Although it is pain staking to say it, the Cowboys have the best shot at finishing first. But to automatically put the Redskins in last place while the Eagles havn't been consistant and only went to the playoffs two years ago with Garcia, and with the Giants loosing key players like Gibril Wilson, Kawika Mitchell, and Michael Strahan...I mean honestly, the Redskins offense no doubtedly should only improve with the additions, and new philosophy. Yes a new system despite a young QB can be better simply b/c the system before was so unorganized and ran by an outdated coach. The defense is much improved with Jason Taylor in the front four.

[RFKFedEx]

I knew it was a reason I stopped listening to this clown.

Well then why were you listening to him today?

[ouvan59]

I've predicted the same thing. Am I a loser?

Nope, just wrong. :D

[Fan since a Fetus]

I listened to this turd a couple of years ago and he openly admitted that he did not like or watch the NFL. In the same breath he said Art Monk was not HOF material.

Now how do you not watch or pay attention to something and make such a bold statement about that same thing you do not pay attention to? This was the last time I listened to him until unfortunately today. I turned him off after he started talking bad about the Skins.

If you like the NFL, then don't listen to him because he has no idea what he is talking about!

[glonn]

Guys,
Can we please remember what Cowherd said of Sean Taylor's murder and then ignore him? Cowherd has proven to the world that his judgement is non-existant.

If you forgot what he said, here is part of the ESPN ombudsman's reprort on Cowherd's coverage of the murder.

"Cowherd, however, trusted his "gut feeling" to guide him to "the truth." His gut told him that Taylor's "history of really, really bad judgment, really really bad judgment" had caught up with him, and even if the emerging reports that Taylor had "cleaned up his act" were true, "Well, yeah, just because you clean the rug doesn't mean you got everything out. Sometimes you've got stains, stuff so deep it never ever leaves."

His opinion should no longer count here.

[endzone_dave]

I don't think we'll finish last in the NFC East but the timing of the Taylor deal is dumb. You make this kind of deal when you are right on the brink of an NFC Championship, not when you bring in a first year coach and have a young QB. JT will make us a better team but unless he gets us to the promised land, it will be a waste of a couple of draft picks.

[NoleSkin21]

I've predicted the same thing. Am I a loser?


I don't know you. So, I can't tell you. Are you? He isn't a loser b/c of the prediction. He is just an idiot when it comes to everything, hates on everyone. He picked the Cowboys to go undefeated and win the super bowl last season. Plus the thing about Sean last year really makes him qualify as a loser.

[Chanhillbilly]

I can't give the giants any credit. They didn't impress me at all last season and the cowboys are a pac man or TO incident waiting to happen. Too many big egos on that team. Too much drama. The wheels are going to come off that bus this season sending everyone to the bottom of the river...

[doubledeuce]

today is a perfect example of why we need local radio programming in the morning.

there i was, stuck in the usual grind of the morning rush, wishing i could find anything on the radio about the redskins and this j taylor trade... nuthin'. closest i could get was dike&mike who skimmed over it briefly.

we need a local morning radio sports program that follows our teams with a passion. even if i don't always agree with them, i wanna hear the fanatic passion in their voice that shows they care as much as i do. no national program will ever be able to give this to us.

whoever is programming at espn, are you listening? do you hear my pain?

rant over.

[jivelikenice]

He lost credibility to me when he referred to Jerome Mathis and McCardell as ex-probowl players who were overpaid and came here only to not go to the Pro-bowl again.....

[Hail Gibbs]

Quoted for emphasis. I remember listening in the immediate wake of the Taylor tragedy and he was very snide and assured of his speculative assessment of the situation and Taylor's involvement.

[JetSkins]

can't stand listening to the guy

[Avg Joe]

Basically.

This will cut into my Jim Rome listening, but I can roll with this. Doc and Keven Sheehan should be pretty damned good. I hope they don't fool around too much with the format of Doc's show.

[NoleSkin21]

Yeah I heard that too. When he mentioned that Bruce Smith, Deion, Brunell, Mathis, McCardell played for us and had 26 pro bowls before they got here, then after the left they hadnt played in any more. First of all Mathis never even suited up for us, McCardell played like 5 games or something. But, don't like the facts get in the way of a good argument Colin Cowherd, you never do. I really can't believe they put him on Sirius ESPN radio after Mike and Mike go off.

[TankRizzo]

Yeah...I had him on during that segment...I remember why I hate him.

[iwasdoinit]

We beat the giants handily once and led at the half 17-3 in the other game. A key Portis fumble late in the game and the inability to punch it in from the one hurt. we beat dallas easy once and lost the other after a late pick on a play where Campbell could have waltzed into the end zone for the go-ahead score. Beat eagles once and blew a lead in the other game. Injuries have plagued this team but they've still hung in there. Sean Taylor was the most devestating loss of all, but I think we're in pretty good shape. By the way, the Skins are always projected as being a mediocre team.

[McMetal]

And he still has a show while Riggins is looking for work, WHY exactly?

[ECU-ALUM]

I am so glad I don't listen to this jackass anymore.

He can criticize the Taylor deal all he wants and all the past mistakes that this franchise has made. Whatever it's his right.

However what he said about Sean Taylor trying to sound like an authority, and when he was proven wrong did a rationalization for what he said...I swore never again...even if my car is on-fire (and I love my car) and he is the only hope I have for putting it out all I have to say is, "Everyone bring the marshmellows and hot-dogs we are having a cook-out."

[ixcuincle]

Ugh. As someone said above , they need local programming in the mornings instead of Cowherd. I never was a big fan of his , even before his S. Taylor comments. He has a knack for making rude statements like the time a wrestler died and Cowherd paid no respect at all , basically trashed him.

[authentic]

I agree 100% about Cowherd. The guy has a big mouth but with no substance what so ever. I cringe just at the sound of his voice.

[Godfather151981]

Cowherd likes to bash on the Redskins in part because he knows that 'Skins fans will give him all kinds of attention.

He's no good with NFL football coverage, so just ignore him.

I agree that Cowherd bashes the Skins far too much. But I've also heard him say that he grew up rooting for the Redskins. He said once that he loved hamburgers as a kid, and thus Chris Hamburger was his favorite football player, so he rooted for the Skins. Some people feel that it's okay to be harsh on "their own," so perhaps that's his mentality. Either that or he's just part of the ESPN mindset that seems to have anything that goes against the Yankees, Red Sox, Cowboys, etc.

[ECU-ALUM]

Yeah...I had him on during that segment...I remember why I hate him.

Cowherd is a coward. He used to trash Bill Romanowski on a regualr basis, but the day he had him on as a guest you'd though Cowherd was his PR guy.

I would give a year's pay for a couple of the guys from the "U" on this team to just show up in the studios....and then say, "Okay you trashing our team is one thing, and we'll get to that in a minute first off, where the hell do you get off saying that stuff about Sean?"

[authentic]

And he still has a show while Riggins is looking for work, WHY exactly?

I think it would only be right to replace him with someone local (i.e. Riggo). I've sincerely tried to give Cowherd a chance, but the dude is Horrible!! I don't understand how he still has a show. I would rather listen to Czabe and Andy all day every day, instead of this clown.

Hopefully they still have the Bird's eye view with Mike Bird on Wednesdays. Its hilarious listening to that guys homerism for the Chicago based teams (Chokago... lol) and his predictions on big sporting events that have recently fallen throuhg more and more frequently. That's great radio.

[RFK Lives]

Cowherd likes to bash on the Redskins in part because he knows that 'Skins fans will give him all kinds of attention.

Cowherd likes to think he is some sort of intelligent sports shock jock. He is always saying, if you don't like what he says change the station and God forbid somebody starts beating him in an argument on the phone because he just hangs up.

[Veretax]

Isn't this subject redundant? I mean its Cowherd, what more can you say?

[Thirtyfive2seven]

you can't fault the redskins for going out getting Taylor after the injuries they endured on the FIRST day of camp. End of story.

[kingchris626]

He always bashes the skins for some reason. I think it's cause the last 2 out of 3 years we made the playoffs and we played his hometown team. The Seahawks. He's a big time Seattle Seahawks fan. And after we lost to them the first time he said we should have even been in the playoffs.

[RFKFedEx]

It's time for all you haters to put on your big boy pants and stop listening to Colin if you don't like him.

It's time for all you haters to put on your big boy pants and stop listening to Colin if you don't like him.

[ECU-ALUM]

For him to have an opinion is one thing he is entitled to it.

To come off sounding like an authority on a subject...part of his schtick.

To say the things he said about Sean Taylor, when all the facts we still not known (and many other media personalities did this as well so it's not just Colin but he came off as sounding like an authority on the subject worse than just about anyone else)...and when he was proven wrong not even attempt to offer any kind apology but rather rationalize what he did...wrong on every level.

People who wear Big-Boy pants admit when they're wrong about something like that.

I'll rip the radio out of my car and destroy the speakers before I ever listen to him again.

[NattyLight]

I like Cowherd, but it's patently obvious that he hates the Redskins. There's really nothing you can about that.

[RFKFedEx]

Well I'm glad you've got that figured out.

What I don't understand is all of the people in this thread expressing their dislike for the guy when it's clear that they listen to him.

It'd be like me listening to the Michael Irvin show (an individual for whom I can't stand) in Dallas and then writing about how much I dislike him for his views on the Redskins.

Even if he were on in this market, I wouldn't listen to him let alone whine on a message board about his program content.

The giants won the freakin superbowl, the cowboys are clearly better than us. Without playing a down yet, it's a pretty safe pick for us to finish 3rd or 4th in the division. Rookie head coach, new offense, new head man of the defense. Outside looking in, seems exactly like what it is, a work in progress.

Who cares what the national media says, never has won or lost a single game.


We have a lot of work to do (with a new head coach), but we had the Cowboys and Giants beat twice last year. In fact, we pounded the Giants in the Meadowlands late in the season.The Cowboys are extremely overrated until they win a playoff game or two. Let's not forget that they had a new coach last year too, and they made the playoffs.
Zorn just has to come in and let the talents of our offensive players take over. Take shots deep to Moss. Get Portis involved in screen plays more. Utilize Cooley, Sellers, Randle El more. Let's not forget that Zorn has been in the NFL a long time; Longer than most head coaches have. He'll be fine.
In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if he brings a lot of juice to our rivalries. He's gonna hate Dallas in no time if he doesn't already.

[ECU-ALUM]

Forget about whether I agree with Cowherd. I don't need him to tell me 4 or 5 times in the 15 minutes before I finally switched the channel that he's a big man to bash the team on his first day on the station despite the fact that "everyone" expects him to get in the Redskin "parade." I hated his show the first time he was on the air here, and now--somehow--he's back.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm actually thinking about buying a satellite radio. They've torn 980 apart. Yeah, Czaban can be a jerk on the local show, but I actually liked his schtick on the national one. And one thing's for sure: The secrets of the universe are in no danger from anyone on the M&M show....Can't stand that one, either. While we're at it, Dan Patrick...never mind. Bottom line: IMHO, we're screwed.

[Metskins]

Having to deal with Mike and Mike as well as Cowturd, while losing the First Team and Dan Patrick is tough to deal with. It means I take my laptop with me into the shower.

[COWBOY-KILLA-]

He probably does it because he gets a reaction out of skins fans. He's a turd.

[C26 Run]

Well he does work for the Cowboy-ESPN. What'd you expect. :helmet:

[mcarey032]

yeah I heard his logic saying that it gets cold here in DC and that he will get tired of it and retire. Umm, the dolphins play in NE, Buffalo and NY, all colder than DC and not to mention the fact that he used to play in Ohio, it isn't like he has played in warm climate his entire career. He is a great football player and things like weather aren't going to bog down JT. If weather is such a factor, how come the Giants went into Green Bay and beat the Packers in the NFC championship game in what is supposedly the coldest championship game ever played? I thought that the Giants would succumb to the weather? What the hell does he know any way. They should definitely trade him in for Dan Patrick, but that ain't going to happen.

[alwaysaskin]

My question is why does anyone care what Cowturd says after the Sean Taylor comments this asshat made. Cowturd is on the 'pukes' jocks just like most of ESPN. If you look at what BSPN does they have always slighted people for more cowpukes and Boston coverage. Cowturd may know College Football, though he is on Ohio State's Jock year in and year out, but he knows abso-****ing-lutely nothing about anyother sport.
