Link: Cowherd gone from ESPN

Now, if we can just get rid of father-son duo in that ridiculous show in the early evening - Si or nay -- or something like that. Incredibly miserable television.
I, for one, think "Corporate America", is what's "Wrong" with America.
It seems to me, right or wrong, that the corporate head's at ESPN, got together, and determined that they should get rid of anyone with any actual unbiased human intelligence, and replace them with a collective group of complete biased dumb asses called "Galloway, Palmer, Kanell, and Sons"...
I used to turn on ESPN TV every morning, or listen to ESPN Radio. I never watch at all now, never tune in, and I don't miss it at all.
I don't won't to watch or hear a group of idiots who have no clue about anything except their biased opinions.

If everyone's favorite sport caster had to talk for a solid hour every day I think he would come off pretty silly. I have listened to ESPN radio and their "non-stop talkers" contradict themselves pretty often. I give them all a break cause they have to be motor mouths. Ever know a motor mouth who didn't contradict himself?
I think everyone needs to remember that Cowherd is paid to be an an entertainer and probably doesn't believe half of what he says. Otoh - he was Jim McElwain's roommate at EWU and he has taken up for us multiple times. Everyone here remembers the ridiculous trolling prediction of Malzahn going to win consecutive national titles but on the morning after we beat Texas he was saying he didn't want to hear anything about Colt McCoy's injury and that it didn't matter. He also defended us when the whole antler spray thing came out, saying he had seen what we did to be such a great team and everybody else was going to have to catch up.
His voice is somewhat whiny but he's not the worst nor the best. He'll never be as "posing as stupid" as Skip Bayless because that's impossible.
And Bayless just says stuff to elicit a rise. I think his whole Tebow schtick was just that and nothing more.

At one point, a while back, he was only annoying to me.
But after his comments about our state, particularly calling Alabama "tornado bait", I began ignoring him altogether. Finebaum had him on to clarify, or at the very least, apologize. He came on, but refused to apologize, and "stood by his comments". I, um, dislike him.

To try and talk about sports every single day for 2 or 3 hrs would seem to be a monumental task. I'd never want that to be my job.
It's like watching the same entertainer each day of the year. You've got to change the channel sometimes. Any of them are only as good as the writers of the material.

I guess I'm in the minority, but I like Cowherd. Have even called in to his show a few times.
I love Paul Finebaum, but can't stand his show.
Anyone who knows my post, knows I look at ESPN as the evil empire. But, what else is there? Fox & CBS invest heavy in Pro football. NBC thinks ND is the only CFB team & opponents are like those selected to play the globe trotters.
Cowherd is no different than any other ESPN guy, I just can't stomach any of these folks talking.
If they really want to help ESPN ratings, fire Beth Mullins, her voice is like fingernails on a caulk board.
Stopped listening to Pawl long ago.
I do like Reece & Mark May / Holtz was fantastic.

After some racial remarks, ESPN has sent him out the Federal Express way - overnight.

Let me be blunt WHY I think this is funny - Colin has spent years ripping on "Southern white guys" and their "consensus opinions" about the Confederate flag, pretending basically that everyone who likes the flag is a racist and for that matter that every white person WANTS the Rebel flag flying (which is part of why he's said he likes Spurrier).
So to hear such a person basically get fired for some twisted racial remarks is - to my mind - a punch line writing itself.

I see no issue with what he said. Most of that nation is poor and under developed so it's only natural the education system is junk. I think it's fitting that the Dominican player didn't understand him even after his small paragraph of explanation.
Hooray for pc. <----sarcasm, no blue font

I don't, either to be honest with you. All he was saying as I got it was, "The DR isn't exactly the USA, the UK, China, or whatever in terms of turning out high-brow intellectuals."
I GET that. But given his ASSUMPTIONS before that "pro-Confederate flag" equals 'racist' - i just find the irony amusing.
it is ironic, and stupidly pc, that he got fired. what he said was the truth and that is my problem with pc behavior: the truth is not tolerated.
If Cowherd wasn't already on his way out, ESPN wouldn't have batted an eye at this. Seriously, he says more offensive stuff all the time. ESPN has been trying too hard to come across as socially aware.
