SVP/Russilo rag on ESPN a ton. I don't see him getting hammered by the network for the comments he made.

ESPN should probably start taking applications from the MSB for a new CEO. Imagine the money they would make if they had the insight from some of the people on here.

I enjoy listening to Cowherd. He may be ridiculous sometimes, but I agree with him on mostly everything he says.

SVP is the man, though, no doubt about it.

Fox is apparently about to throw their foot in the ring.

Cowherd is one of the biggest asshats they employ. Don't put him in the class with SVP and Russilo.

sooo false I met all three of these guys Cowherd is VERY intelligent and a very good radio guy believe it or not is BY FAR my favorite (I used to be SVP & Russillo geeks before I met them all)

SVP is fantastic but he carries Russillo...Russillo is a frat boy who watches sports and thinks he is better than everyone else and doesnt really give much insight...Russillo is a bro first sports radio guy second (which is why I guess people like him)

What is really ridiculous is one of the reasons ESPN goobers list that no one would take Tebow (or TO before him) is that "the circus comes to town".

ESPN is the damn circus. They talk about it like its some sort of uncontrollable slime mold. It's you fricking guys!

Cowherd isn't nearly the douche people make him out to be. He's got a serious case of the know it alls, and he makes really far fetched comparisons, but he knows his shite for the most part.

Truth. Russillo could be gone tommorrow just like Greenberg and no one would notice.

Agreed.

I mean, I can't stand to listen to him just because I don't want to listen to one guy rant for hours, but he does know his stuff IMO.

I listen to Cowherd a lot, and agree with what y'all say about his sports knowledge. He doesn't conform to what's politically correct and doesn't care if he's the only one with his view on a given topic. The man is consistent, but annoying at the same time. He has accolades for his radio broadcasting, so he's obviously doing something right.
