Colin Cowherd - Has he always tried to interject politics into his radio show?

I've listen to him on and off for years but this year he has seemed to be more and more political.

He's race baiting now with the NBA throws a punch they're a thug, NASCAR does and it's cool.

This board is the epitome of the south and on the cover of TD the comments are making fun of redneck trash about the NASCAR fight. So he's dead wrong.

I turned it off as soon as he started with that weak political troll.

He's got a bit of a point here.

he just saw how easy it was to troll NASCAR fans after the Stewart incident, I guess he's going back for more.

Well, he's not really wrong.

It reminds me of the Broncos game yesterday. Denver had a bad penalty on defense that saved Tom's drive. The camera shows Peyton's reaction and he's frustrated and shaking his head. Of course, because it's Peyton, his reaction is okay because "he knows how important that stop was" or "he's just a big time competitor".

If Cam did that, he's being immature or not being a leader.

Do you not agree with this?
It's accepted to fight in Hockey and Nascar (predominately white sports) but anytime a NBA player gets in a fight he looked at like a thug.

It's true, he's just not tip toeing around it like your used to with the media.

What exactly is false about that assessment?

Still too small of a sample size.

Not to defend nascar but fight over some wrecking you on propose makes more sense than a hard foul.

It's the same shite. He tells you everyday that he's a West Coast guy...he's an Obama/Democrat...he likes progressive, forward thinking...he's into the whole "tech scene", he loves the coast, he loves Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, San Diego, LA, Dallas, Chicago, Miami, New York....he hates heavy food, he doesn't like the South, he's a Pac 12 guy...I can write a freaking biography on him after listening to a few shows.

So this board represents the opinions of the entire south?

I hate basketball and NASCAR equally, and I have no trouble for what he said. Not because of race, but because of the lives these guys lead in the public's eye.

The majority of basketball players are thugs, and that's why they're all broke within 5 years of playing.

Jeff Gordon is squeaky clean. When he throws a punch IT"S BIG NEWS

Bu Cowherd is in the entertainment business, and you just brought his show up on a popular message board, so he accomplished his goal.

Yeah, he typically does. For a good while it was mentioning gun control in every other conversation. I don't care whether you support gun control or oppose it, but that's not the reason I am listening to a sports show. Talk about sports and keep your philosophical views to yourself. He got kind of soap-boxey about it for a while because people would tweet him and ask him to stop talking about politics and he seemed to revel in it, which made it very annoying. I still think he is pretty good as far as ESPN radio shows go. SVP and Rusillo is the GOAT ESPN radio show though.

Hockey fights are pretty fair, and have judges They don't start with a buncha guys yelling "thug-like" obscenities then do the whole "hold me back cuh" thing.

NBA fights remind me of fights my friends and me used to get in during pickup basketball and football games.

The NBA fights aren't thuggish, they're childish, compared to an average fight in some other sports.

Typical libitard, he may have a point, but he only points out the obvious on one side. Call it like you see it on both sides but he won't

NBA doesn't have a way to protect fans from the fighting - especially in the high priced first few rows.

NHL/Nascar - big arse walls inbetween.

ETA - for those of you saying the NASCAR fight was between redneck hillbillies, Gordon is from California and Keselowski is from Michigan. Not exactly redneck hillbillies.

Of course he is liberal. He lives in LA and works for ESPN.
