Top ten lists are always fun, and so is hating Colin Cowherd. After the stunt he pulled on our friends over at The Big Lead we decided to piece together a top ten reasons to hate him. This shouldn’t be too hard and we expect most of you to agree with us. If you come back later today and our site is down, you’ll know the reason.
10. His voice is just annoying. Just listen to an entire show, it’s worse than Jim Rome and his non-stop silence.
9. He has a made for radio face. I’m not saying that I’m Brad Pitt or Johnny Depp, but I’ve certainly got a better mug than him. That is one face that needs to stay on the radio.
8. His damn producer. Can we please get that girl off the air? She never adds anything remotely useful to the show. In fact, she was the one that provided the link to Cowherd. Stop asking her for relationship advice on the air. Your wife Kim wants you to take out the trash. Just do it and shut up.
7. Cowherd’s time slot sucks for everyone not on the West Coast. Seriously, the 10-1 slot? Real glad they put you in peak hours. You’re not morning commute, you’re not afternoon commute. You suck. Everyone listens to Mike&Mike on the way to work, at least they make funny commercials.
6. He hates the WWE. I can understand taking pot shots at wrestling fans, it actually is easy, and while the generalizations are wrong, they work. But taking the death of someone, like Eddie Gurerro, and turning it into a bash session? That’s just shady.
5. He’s a pompous arrogant assclown. Look Colin, I understand that there are a lot of radio personalities that get away with being a bad person, but you can’t pull it off. All you do is demean people, so cut the crap and stop acting like you’re above everyone. ESPN employee? Yes. Blubbering jackass? Yes.
4. His new show, Missing Link, is pure ass. It finds two completely unconnected things and finds some common ground. Somehow, someway, Carl Lewis connects to Dale Earnhardt Jr. I’m connecting Colin Cowherd and the jackass at my local zoo. They both breath oxygen, they both reek of feces, and they’re both from the animal kingdom. That’s enough for me.
3. He insults the intelligence of his listeners by calling them “The Herd.” Congrats Colin, its a fantastic play on words, but what you’re really calling your listeners is incapable of forming opinions on their own. A herd is a group of animals under the control of a human, is that what you think of your listeners?
2. Oh that infamous Wonderlic incident. Really shows that you’re a stand up guy Colin. I always figured rule one of journalism (and academics in general) was to avoid plagarism. Guess they didn’t teach that at Dipshit U.
1. Taking down The Big Lead. That crosses a line Colin. You don’t mess with bloggers, in fact, you mess with Texas before you mess with bloggers. You just pissed off thousands of blogs and millions of readers. Have fun salvaging your reputation you asshole.

Nicely done. Although I didn’t know I was going to have to take a math test to post a comment.
I can see that this diatribe really put a screeching halt on Colin’s career (see ESPN U picking up the TV broadcast rights to his RADIO show). Nice try douche bags.
Colin is terible. He is on in the Bay Area and I tried to listen… ugh Just terrible..an absolute zero
Sorry, but Colin rocks. He is the only one with the courage to expose the “fan” mentality, and the damage it does to sports.
Colin is the prototypical sports radio host. Knows everything about sports except how to play them. He tries way too hard to be cool and connect with sports fans. Condescending to the callers and outright annoying. He does not hold a candle to Tony Bruno..
Sorry guys, but Cowherd does a tremendous job everyday on his show. Because of him alone, I quit listening to FM radio. I think he is spot-on with about 99% of his opinions. I’ve never heard someone talk about sports that I completely agree with. True, he may be a little cocky but he definitely knows his shit.
to me, cowherd is like rice cakes–it may be filling when nothing else is around, but there's no real flavor and very little taste. I listen to his "show" at work sometimes when I am bored, and I have to admit, I trully listen not to agree or disagree with his opinions, but rather to be entertained by the fact that ANY human being is this sure of his own self-righteousness. At the end of the day, he's the know-it-all overly cocky asshole at the bar who you and your friends avoid like the black plague, and don't let in on any of your discussions especially when talking about sports (is it really a wonder a guy is divorced, come on now…). But fuck it, it's amusing.
Rice cakes? Brilliant, what an apt analogy for Cowherd. I wish I had more specific complaints to level at the #1 douchebag on radio today (yes, he's worse than Rush and Garofulo put together) but I stopped listening a long time ago. I wish ESPN would get his ass off the air so I could listen to ESPN at work again.
HA HA milliions of bloggers…get a load of all of you. Not sure how the internet led me to this stupid sight, anywhooo….
lmfao u dorks i listen to colin and the dude is def one of the smartest cats on the radio period hes spot on and brings out a train of thoughts that not many consider jim rome is the clown with all his clones reading into the phone i go out of my way to avoid rome and listen to colin
Cow Terd is a joke. I cannot stand the guy, he is nothing but a gimmick. Next.
cowherd is a fucking idiot. I wish he was off the air!
you are all morons. this is the kind of shit cowherd feeds off of. he forms strong opinions and he stays on message. obviously people are going to get offended. get over it. hes good at what he does and hes going to be doing it for a long long time
He’s the biggest jackass in sports radio. He never offers any constructive insights. It’s all about who sucks, why they suck, why the fans suck, etc. He repeats the same phrases and then takes a 10 minute pause only to repeat the same phrase again. He also made fun of players who mourned the death of Sean Taylor. Classy stuff.
I am sick of his hockey tirad. Leave it be buddy. You sound like a whiny little boy.
sad really sad. Just an all around boring person.
Hating the WWE is probably his only redeeming quality.
Radio show isn't bad, really
Except for when every analogy he makes involves USC or Alabama or Florida football… and the Patriots and sometimes Andy Reid
oh wait
Hating the WWE is good, though… I'll agree with Furley there
In NY, his show does not measure up. Its only to be listened to when WFAN is in a commercial
colins disrespect for tradition and his incessant support of anything that makes more
money no matter how wrong or immoral it may be is gross.
Its all about ratings to coherd. He loves all big city teams, LA , New York, Boston, Dallas, Listen to him dawg little market teams like cincinnati, kansa city, buffalo, jacksonville. He said that if Cincinnati and Kansas City were in the world series he wouldn't watch it, What a great sports fan. Cowherd is a jerk, and he loves that people hate hin.
I am in agreement with the bad comments, they sum up what he is in a nut shell.
You know what would get him the most, is if you all got smart and stopped listening and watch him that would give him a dose of humility, unless he is above that too, which is entirely possible based on some of the comments you all have posted lol.
if you really think that is true then you are dumb
Rice cakes? Brilliant, what an apt analogy for Cowherd. I wish I had more specific complaints to level at the #1 douchebag on radio today (yes, he's worse than Rush and Garofulo put together) but I stopped listening a long time ago. I wish ESPN would get his ass off the air so I could listen to ESPN at work again.
how can you blast Colin? best overview in the industry. best interviews and overall takes
hated that hack since i heard him in Portland
Colin Cowherd? He sucks. Plain and simple.
Anyone who thinks this jabroni is any good must not have any local radio. Try listening to ESPN radio. Most of their on airs are metro sexual sofites like Greenberg, or Van Pelt.. or goonish buffoons like Golic..and lets not forget Booyah StuYah Scottyah..
ESPN has ruined most local radio.. They wiull suck up to Bahstan, LaLa Land and NYC.. and other than that?? They are a big wet beer f*rt.. they stink..
How can anyone call this talking head smart? Almost all these idiots on sports talk radio are complete morons..or washed up jocks that buffoons like Berman can suck up to.. GAWD ESPN sa-sa-sucks sa sa sucks…
TAKES?? he takes it up the a$$… He is a typical ESPN suck up to the big city host.. If you want to see HOW popular any host is CHECK OUT what cities and what times they come on..
When it comes to ratings in the SF Bay Area he doesn't draw flies.. he couldn't draw flies if he was dipped in dung..
All ESPN shows in the San Francisco bay area are low rated.. Mike and Mike? terrible West coast ratings.. which is why they suck up to NYC and Boston same with Cowturd.. read ratings people.. you will see that ESPN is near the bottom.. it is cheap to air.. one board op and that is it..
I HATE ESPN radio.. it sucks.. Cowherd is Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddows love child with rachel being the dad…
Colin gives great sports analysis on the air while playing a pompous character. If you need any proof that he doesn't really take this too seriously you should watch SPORTSNATION. Colin is especially good with Michelle Beadle, she brings out a charming self-deprecating side of Colin that maybe doesn't come across on THE HERD. I know people who've sat in the audience of SPORTSNATION and interacted with Colin on the set and had really positive experiences.
cause you respect her sports knowledge but can't stop thinking about her taking her close off. No heterosexual guy can.
Cowherd recently got married (2nd try for him.) Anyone want to set the over-under on how long this marriage lasts?
"I don't follow NASCAR, but I know that Dannica could beat any one of the 'Good Ol' Boys"
His generalization of NASCAR to a sport of talentless white male hicks in order to appeal to the female sport AM radio listening audience was fucking disgusting. This came over a year before Dannica announced she would race in the Busch League Series. Well, she has the best equipment, which 30 other cars in the 43 car field don't have and she still cant finish better than 30th fucking place. Take your analogies to suburbinite life and sports and shove them up your Colon Cow Turd.
You want to know why Colin Cowherd is an idiot? Just listen to his rant about why Greg Oden was going to be a better pro then Kevin Durant because KD couldn't bench 200. How's that looking now A-hole?
Cowturd takes one point and says the same thing over and over and over and over and over. His bimbo producer needs to help him to think of something interesting to say.
