not saying it's intelligent, i'm saying it's entertainment. If i want intelligence i'm not looking to major commercial media of any type.

I don't see how so many here think his show is intelligent when its essentially him just trying to piss off the lowest common denominator each day. Its lazy IMO.



He also heroically attacks the little guy in almost every argument. Beyond that, the dude makes some of the most tortured and nonsensical analogies you will ever hear.

Although it is pretty amusing when he tries to sound tough and hip and his voice cracks. Happens pretty often.

"Thass what I'm SAYING DAWG" (voice cracks pitifully during 'dawg')

I like CC because he's entertaining. But you lost me on the jock sniffer part... certainly the guy has favorites and when he's talking someone up you'd swear he owes them money or something

he def does, but he makes fun of himself about it as well. today for example he says his ESPN login is "iwonderwhatpete'sdoing" making fun of his love for Pete Carroll.

I think he does a good job for what his overall job is, but if I want to hear game discussion I'm not going with him.

if I want to hear a guy compare everything that goes on in sports to career moves he's made, then he's my guy.

Yeah, he has something of a sense of humor about his own mistakes.

I remember him completely flipping out on a caller a few years ago. CC was spending that show talking up Vick and the caller disagreed. When CC asked him to list some number of QBs he'd prefer over Vick he did five or six and then got to Carson Palmer... the shrieking from CC in response was both alarming and hysterical.

This was when he was still slobbing all over Michael Vick as an under-appreciated winner (since then he went 180 and said the opposite with all the bad leadership decisions he made on the way out with the Falcons).

I had to get in the car for SVP and the difference between his show and The Herd is night and day.



SVP is lightyears better


Cowherd doesnt hide the fact that he only says what he does to get ratings....I dont think he believes half of what he says.

The guy is great. You may not like the things that he says, but the vast majority of the time they are based on fact and not emotion. Unlike the majority of people around here.

Colin's a douche bag of a tool. Every nut finds a squirrel every now and then but most of the time, he thinks he invented the wheel.

I can't really agree with you there. I like him because he is interesting but his shows are largely tangents based on focusing on selective information (to be provocative).

It's intentionally opinionated to be more interesting. He doesn't even care whether or not he believes an argument so long as it's interesting to debate... in fact if he's not sure it leads to more discussion and eats up time like he needs to for 4 hours a day
