I don't know how many of you listen to Cowherd, or even ESPN Radio, but Cowherd has proven once again that he is a p.o.s.

On Thursday I was out of the area and was listening to ESPN Radio during his segment. He launched into some monologue about how he has the ability to shut down almost any site just by mentioning it and how it would be amusing to do that to a "random" site everyday. The site he "randomly" picked: thebiglead.com (a site well known for it's criticism of ESPN, but who have attacked Colin only once). Well, he managed to knock the site out in a matter of minutes, for a total of about 48 hours. They are back online now, and have a decent little blog about what happened and about how they have no idea why it happened.

Anyway, ESPN's response to the incident was rather slow until this morning, when their newly hired Ombudsmen called him out on the front page of ESPN.com, saying that ESPN has a "no tolerance policy" to action such as this. What this actually means for Colin now is hard to say.

I guess Colin turned into the FM DJ guy that he always criticizes because he managed to do something off the wall without checking with the lawyers on the legal ramifications of such a stunt. Because what he did, with malicious intent, is very illegal. Not to mention an overall jackass move.

I don't care for his show. He just comes off as a cocky *rick.

His answer to everything.

"sigh"

I hope the new Ombudsman nudges ESPN towards firing his ***! It probably won't happen but Cowherd needs to be put down a peg or two.

thebiglead is a good site too, I now like Colin Cowherd less than I did before, which wasn't much to begin with.

Bad move by Colin, but I love his show. Maybe it's because I'm a huge football fan and that's what he spends most of this time on, but he's my favorite ESPN Radio host.

colin is a jackass the guy does not have very much sports knowledge. He acts like a know it all.. I would love to see him get fired. ESPN needs to bring Eric Kuselis back to radio.
