    Pulls stuff out of his @ss to back up his progressive takes on things that arn't the usual banter of sports talk.Example: I've got a degree Anthro/Econ. and the "studies" he cites to back some his rants do not exist and have never existed.

    So your degree means you know of every study ever conducted and a guy that has a staff to research info for his show is makin stuff up?

    Which sounds more likely?

    I've learned to not listen to somebody when they say things like "nobody admits to liking the guy..."

    He's highly successful at what he does, and there's a reason for it.  If nobody liked him, he wouldn't be making millions doing what he does.  I think he's awesome, and he's usually spot on with most everything he says.  He's also of course very good at how he uses his words to get his point across.

    Tell your buddy I admitted to liking him.

    If by staff you mean the producer that keeps his levels up and the guy that has the carousel of sound effects and handles the phone there ain't nobody else scripting the rants.When CC starts talking about human behav. like he did during the NFL,"We all know from numerous studies(numerous- only citation) that we're a more violent population.......... We weren't more violent in the 60's due to comics,TV,rock music,Viet-nam,R-movies or in the 90's with video games and internet porn.CC admits to being Progressive and like a good Progressive he doesn't just entertain you but since he's brighter then you he must teach you also.When he wanders into something that he may not have a great deal of life experience that doesn't stop him from explaining how he "feels" because thats all that matters to a Progressive. Where did he hone this great intellect and field of research?after he dropped out of college to work a TV station in LasVegas?? Don't listen to what he says just listen to how it makes you feel. Not to make this the PoliticsForum but just imagine Obama and the low-information voter.

    None of that means CC doesnt know what hes talking about. It means you go into the show assuming he is incorrect.

    Cowherd gets ratings....he plays the "heel" role on espn radio; pretty much the rest of their radio lineup are cut from the happy-go -lucky mold....Colin is supposed to be the hard truth realist of the group.

    CC is one of those guys that relates every single thing in sports, and in his social commentaries, to money.  Does anyone have any idea why?? I'll give you a hint......it is because he is making 7 figures a year...

    CC equates EVERYTHING back to the dollar......because it is a game he is beating darn near all of us at.  

    For the record, I cannot stand Colin. Just my 2 cents.  I thought that Jim Harbaugh pretty much ignoring CC's stupid interview questions was priceless.  "I am a 4.3 wide receiver Jim...why should I come to Michigan?"......Jim hits him with a question back..."You are?" 

    One more thing....there aren't many ways of speaking more pretentious than the rapid fire abbreviated sentence (which supposedly illustrates a "hard truth") followed by a long pause......like he just dropped some serious knowledge on the listener.  Brilliance on display fellas...

    Give me Jay Mohr on Mohr sports any day...at least Jay can make me laugh.  

    At the end of the day, this stuff is personal preference...so if you guys like him, rock on.

    Don't make it a habit of listening to him, but at least he will offer a take/bet on football games. THAT makes him okay in my book.

    I can understand bragging about winning. Hell, it ain't braggin' if you can do it! But, if he cops to his losses, that makes him unusual in radio/tv.

    The only sports talk worth listening to is 1310 the ticket out of Dallas. Great mix of light hearted humor and hard sports talk.

    If you are not listening to the ticket than your sports talk game is weak and you should be ashamed

    I have to say I'm a little disappointed to see that so many of my Covers brothers enjoy this blowhard. He wouldn't be so terrible if he didn't mention money or IQ every 5 seconds. He also has a really bad habit of trying to be funny, which is even more annoying. Mattbrot has it right with Sports Radio 1310 The Ticket. They aren't hard hitting generic sports analysts like you guys seem to like, but they are great conversationalists and make you laugh. They are one of the many reasons why living in Dallas is enjoyable.

    CC is okay... I like him for many reasons stated earlier.

    I used to listen to his ESPN radio show years ago... I thought that was the best fit for him.

    His common sense and social takes are why my 13 yo. daughter and I like to listen to him.

    What a shame.

    Bill Simmons and Colin Cowherd were the only two reasons I watched/listened to/read ESPN.

     

    Fox Sports is probably going to shower them both with 1.5 times their salary.
