Re: Colin Cowherd proves he is a jackass again...
Yeah, that cutting off callers so he can ramble on with the last word is bush league stuff.
Overall, I understand his gimmick is to say outrageous stuff so I barely pay attention to his diatribes cause they are indeed forced. He contradicts himself at least twice a show.
Vic "The Brick" Jacobs is a complete idiot and annoying. A radio station here now has him for when they go to national programming, and WTF is with him saying "Feelin' You!" all the time? Also, they have some clips of when Manny came over and Vic was saying some weird crap. I don't get how anyone likes this guy, he seems like a tool.Comment

Re: Colin Cowherd proves he is a jackass again...
Wait. You hate obnoxious and arrogant hosts and yet...you subject yourself to Mike Francesa? Irony at it's finest, lol!
Bomani is a friend of mine. He's good at what he does and I gotta respect how he got that gig. He basically willed his way onto that station. Beat the door of Adam Gold down until he hired him. Bomani is a great dude.
Bomani's show is so good, a lot of people (myself included) think it's the best thing going on the two stations. Gold and Joe Ovies are unbearable in the morning. I've been meaning to catch up with him at a couple of the remotes he does in the area, we usually chat via email during his show or on facebook.Comment

Re: Colin Cowherd proves he is a jackass again...
Forced and scripted. There's a big debate within the sportstalk community on whether or not it's right to script your "rants". Personally, I think it takes more talent to speak off the cuff. Cowherd and Rome both script much of their show. You can tell sometimes when they misread what they've written...it's a different kind of verbal correction that I can smell a mile away. It just sounds bad.
He presents his facts in a reasonable manner and unlike most big name hosts (he's a big name as he's received many industry awards that cover both sides of the border) he actually lets his callers make a point. Hell, there are some callers like Raptorized John and Bancroft who can talk to Bob to the point that it feels like you're eavesdropping on an actual phone conversation!
if there's one thing I have to criticize him about is that he can get verbose with his answers sometimes and thus when he's presented with more then one question often forgets the 2nd question.
Otherwise he's a great host, has very interesting viewpoints, gets along really well with his co-hosts (he works best with Globe and Mail columnist Stephen Brunt) and more often then not he has some very intriguing guests and more often then not on the "Primetime hour" (national 6 PM hour) the interviews can get extremely in depth.
I just wish a guy like him would get a shot in the States but he's said on numerous times that he doesn't like the format of national sportstalk in the US (especially ESPN Radio) where 90% of the interviews are canned which he detests and he's very much against interviewing athletes because it turns into a cliche fest. (Doesn't mean he doesn't interview any, it's just that they bore him and he'd rather get into the meat and potatoes on issues)Member of the Official OS Bills Backers Club

Re: Colin Cowherd proves he is a jackass again...
For whatever reason, I like Francesa. Arrogant, he may be...but it's not oozing slime like Cowherd. Plus, Mike's been around a long time and made his bones when these other twits were still in grade school.
Cowherd's shock jock mentality and his thought process on fans not being able to question coaches' thinking is just azz-clownish.Last edited by P2K; 05-14-2009, 11:21 PM.Comment

Re: Colin Cowherd proves he is a jackass again...
Cowherd sucks. The best was when he spent about 20 mins in a previous segment ripping small school college basketball teams who missed the NCAA tournament and saying they don't play anyone. He kept refering to St. Mary's schedule, reading off all their games and scores on this huge rant.
Next thing you know he's talking college football defending Charlie Weis and Notre Dame as big college programs w/ big wins and how Charlie is one of the best coaches in college football. Some caller calls in and asks Cowherd what "big games" ND has won the last few years.
He starts saying, "ummm...I think so and so back in -----..." but everytime he went to try and name a big ND win the caller had the schedules in front of him and basically ripped him a new one w/ the date and the losing ND score. He shut-up for a few minutes then began the back track. He sounded pretty pissed he took that call...

Re: Colin Cowherd proves he is a jackass again...
Interesting to read the differing opinions. As I said, I'm on who absolutely loves his show. I find it hilarious, and very insightful as far as a lot of the advice he gives. Is he always right? Of course not, but neither is anyone else on radio.
Either way, he's made himself a big enough name that this thread has extended multiple pages, so he must be doing SOMETHING right.
Reminds me of the Nickleback thread in the OS Supporters forum; not a single poster really said they like them, yet the thread went on, and the majority of the public seems to buy up their songs left and right. So, just like Cowherd, they too must be doing SOMETHING right.
That being said, I'm not exactly trying to debate the issue. If you don't like him, I could care less, and am really not trying to change anyone's mind. Mostly just saying that I DO enjoy him, while pointing out the obvious; that whatever it is you do or don't think he's doing, it's certainly working.
Hell, he has a TV show coming out soon as well.

I thought Paulie got fired, but he's back now. I think him and Mitch should have their own show. Seat Williams maybe the WORST sportstalk personality ever. He is clueless. Now, maybe he does it on purpose to give a different spin on stuff, but he lost all my respect a few years back when he was defending TO after the crap he pulled with the Eagles.
The best is when Seat talks about Ladies night at the Stratosphere, and how he is such a ladies man. He is got to be kidding me. He couldn't get a date in a morgue.Comment
