Has anyone ever seen Cowherd and Lando in the same place at the same time?
Colin Cowherd
- Thread starter Obliviax
- Start date
He was projecting. He gets hammered and distracted so he believes everyone else will.
I think we all have a “I stopped listening to him” story. 5 minutes after the first time I ever heard him. What a douche.
I remember when Blowherd was on ESPN before getting fired for making prejudiced remarks by the way.
He used to take a few phone calls and it was a complete sh## show. If the caller didn't totally stroke his ego and actually had a different take on a topic from his position he would cut them off quickly, hang up on them then proceed to belittle the caller and that point of view. Basically saying how stupid the viewpoint was. Just Google the words "Gasbag Jerk" and there is a picture of Blowherd's ugly mug.

All of those shows are so bad. I feel embarrassed watching any of them, to be honest. It is like a testosterone frat boy on steroids with the token woman moderating.
So true. I bet I haven’t watched more than five hours total of ESPN talk shows ….ever.
But here is my question...When did Colin Cowherd start talking and looking like Megan Rapino?
Colin loves USC.
Sure, he’s obnoxious but he does actually veer into interesting topics beyond the typical sports radio banter. He’s entertaining, which is his job.
Also he doesn’t hate PSU. He just loves USC, and Harbaugh and Meyer. We’re extra sensitive as he talked up our rivals over the years.

I’m not defending him at all, but I think k he plays a character of sorts at times. Here we all are talking about him. We wouldn’t be if he didn’t make a bunch of “hot takes”.
When Colin was first on ESPN radio, it would be sweeps week (for advertising) and Colin (being the new guy) needed to bolster his numbers. He literally mentioned Joe every day for a week as he knew it would generate discussion / calls. The first year, I thought this was a one off, but Fall sweeps the next year, every day "Joe Paterno". It became a running joke over the years, if his numbers dipped, he would literally start the show "Joe Paterno".
Cowherd's act is much luck that of a pro wrestling villain; what he says and how he acts often has no other purpose than to get under the skin of a large portion of his audience. Another analogy might be a message board troll where the "substance" of the posts is nothing more than an effort to get a reaction. He doesn't upset me, but he doesn't entertain or inform me either, and while I agree that he can get into interesting topics, it just not enough to make me sit through the other stuff.
Spot on, Lando. That video Cowherd recorded at the L.A. Coliseum is a classic. I thought he might have had a few beers in when he recorded it.
There is a (thankfully) small group of sports commentators who display their ignorance and lack of judgment on virtually a daily basis: Cowherd, Skip Bayless, Stephen A. Smith, and Sean McAfee come immediately to mind. They are there because, for some crazy reason, they apparently drive TV ratings. I can't watch any of them for more than a couple of minutes at a time, so I switch the channel whenever they come on.
He was complimentary of PSU. Said it was a very good and impressive win, complemented the team, talked about Warren, etc. He ate crow and did a major flip from ‘people are going to need to apologize to Lincoln Riley’ to ‘USC is young at key positions and isn’t getting it done’ (paraphrasing).
He did say PSU was a good team. Didn’t think they’d beat elite teams like Texas, Georgia, Ohio St but otherwise a very good team.

Funny...he said the LA Coliseum is the best place to watch college football?!
I thought he blamed USC for the loss more than give PSU credit. He said of Allar "There is something there." I mean, he had 391 yards passing. USC has a very talented roster, probably more so than PSU overall. He did talk about how hard it is for a college team to fly 4 hours to play a football game given a) the lack of time the players are allowed to spend on football versus an NFL team and b) how that cuts into practice time. If you have six days of practice, Sat to Sat, you really only get five practice days since one is a complete travel day.
Ahhh, whatever.
