That is significant because he is a USC Trojan through and through.

no he isn't...he just jumped on their bandwagon. He went to school at like Eastern Washington or something. Which is actually quite funny due to his propensity to prop up big markets.

The dude is just a ratings whore and literally contradicts himself constantly. He also supports his arguments by actually offering up the opposite as evidence frequently.

I was waiting for him to say "LSU will win the National championship due to being prepared by their very hard schedule which is why they won't go to the national title game."

Guy flip flops on a daily basis. Show is entertaining though.

By far the heard is the best show on espn radio. He has always supported the sec. He is a west coast guy. I dont think he is a "flip floper" I think he changes his reactions based on what actually happenes rather than wrongly sticking to his guns. He shows no bias and his thing is that he just wants to see greatness which is ok in my book. Overall the guy calls it how he see's it and keeps it real. We could use more "talking heads" like him.

Uh, that's exactly what he is, brah.

Everyone loves Labron: "Labron is overrated"
Everyone hates Labron: "I love Labron"

I guess there is a lot of grey area with the term flip flopper. Are you a flip flopper is you said chis johnson was the best running back 3 years ago then last year you say he is garbage? opinions change based on performance I don't think that is flip flopping.

Let's not be coy here. Collin didn't change his perception of Labron with his performance in mind. It was bc of the general population's opinion of him. He went from saying he was overrated to he loved him and that he was great before he played a single game in Miami. It had nothing to do with the championship or the almost championship he had at Miami. He plays shock factor with the public. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Cowherd is still a jackass, but entertaining and good at his job.

For someone who is nationally syndicated he is one of the best. Just because he says something that goes against the team you root for doesn't mean he is a hack. How many times have you mad bold claims and you were wrong? You are not on the radio so everyone dose not hear your mistake. Therefore you do not get ripped by people who are not on the radio. I just appreciate the fact that he speaks his mind and does not go off a script or say whatever the execs want him to say.

Being that he's talking good about my team makes this logically incorrect. My feelings about the man have nothing at all to do with LSU or the saints.

Plenty I'm sure, but I stick by my shite. I don't flip flop according to what will bring me popularity or viewers/listeners.

And I would too if this were in fact what he did. 99% of the time he's just saying the opposite of what he feels the nation thinks. Anyone can build an argument for just about any 2 sides. It's just a coincidence that he always chooses the side that gets people riled up. See skip Bayless...
