I never agree with him on college football but I love his show.

Cowherd is the best on ESPN radio. He doesn't always tow the company line like those asswipes Mike & Mike.

sometimes I like colin and sometimes I hate get really annoyed with him. Mainly when its obvious he's purely talking bullshite to stir things up. I also can't stand his sports analogies to the real world, he tries wayyyyy too hard with those. Even worse when he keeps relating them to this freaking career.

during the dead summer months he does put on the best show because he still talks pro and college football.

Van Pelt and Gottlieb have better shows since they don't rely on shock bullshite.

If you'd listen to him objectively and not judge him based on if you believe everything he says, he's fantastic. Makes great points, calls it like he sees it, and he's hilarious while doing it. There's a reason he has a 4 hour time slot, and it's not because he sucks. I'm pretty sure if there's one company out there that has their sh!t together it's ESPN


+1

People in Columbus hate him, so I naturally hated him before I gave him a fair chance. But when I got past the whole "CC hates Ohio St" thing that many people in central Ohio think, he's very enjoyable.

Colin's show is awesome. A lot of people do not like how brutally honest he can be and it pisses them off. Now Mike and Mike is bad radio

I love CC's show. Its my favorite behind SVP, and I actually like DG's show as well. I love it when Cowherd goes on his don't do meth rants.....they are fricking hilarious.

is VanPelt on ESPN radio? if so, when? i have never heard his show, yet listen to a lot of talk radio and have lived in major media markets for the better part of 7 years.

i can't stand watching SVP on TV, but he just annoys me visually. I might like him on radio.

His show starts right after The Herd at Noon central on ESPN radio. He and Ryan Russillo are actually quite good. They are humorous and they know their shite. It was Mike Tirico's show at first and they had SVP and Kirk Herbstriet on. But Tirico left to do MNF or something. I didn't like Tirico at first but he was really really really good on the radio. I miss him and Dan Patrick.

His show is on after Cowherds - 2-6 maybe? We have local programming so don't get it. You can listen to his show on espnradio.com I'm pretty sure though.

cool, thanks. I'll give it a listen today.

Yeah, i like Dan Patrick's show as well....most of the time. He can be a little pompous every once in a while, but he's usually pretty good.

Colin is actually my first choice on the ESPN radio lineup. That is if I can find a station on my computer that isn't fricking blocked because of this bullshite filter.

I like CC because he's not a jock sniffer. Interviewing athletes is boring.

The only sports shows worth listening to are CC, Rome and Patrick. SVP and Mike & Mike are too big of fan boys for my liking.

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.
