Colin Cowturd on Sean Taylor

Steinberg linked to this piece at Awful Announcing, but in cased you missed it, they echo a lot of the Warpath's sentiments:

Awful Announcing: Colin Cowherd Sure Is Classy (http://awfulannouncing.blogspot.com/2007/11/colin-cowherd-sure-is-classy.html)

I'm going to write a letter to ESPN letting them now that I will not support their radio station during the time that his show is broadcast. Chip pointed out correctly that, not only is he a jerk, but his knowledge of sports is extremely superficial.

His handling of this tragedy has been despicable and I can only hope that consequences result from it.

I don't know if that would even help. If you take the time to write a letter, ESPN knows you're listening to this clown. It's one of those situations where any pub is good pub. The fact that everyone is pissed off by his insensitive and immature commentary will probably result in higher ratings. The best thing to do is just turn it off. Don't listen. No listeners = No adv. revenue and then he goes away.

So, did anyone else hear him admit he was wrong today? For those that didn't hear it, basically he said his job is to opine, sometimes he's aggressive and turns people off, but that's life in talk radio.

He did say that he still believes his original opinions were reasonable based on his past. But at the same time, he was wrong. It's not often he does that.

But then, he took a call from some ditz named Jennifer in California who went on to say that she didn't think Colin was wrong, that Sean Taylor DID wind up involving himself with the wrong crowd, though indirectly from his sister.

His HALF-sister you twit. And no, Taylor DID NOT "involve himself" with the wrong crowd by his HALF-sister dating someone who's brother turned out to be a thug.

Some people still can't stand the fact that this was a random act.

I guess it's good that he apologized but I will continue to oppose him in all his insidious forms. His show is the Family Guy to my Cartman:

At least he was man enough to admit that he was wrong.. I still don't have any respect for him because if he was a professional to begin with he would have waited until the facts were out before spewing garbage from his trap..

Yeah at least he admitted he was wrong. I really didn't think he would do that. I'm surprised.

NO it wasn't. This was planned. Plenty of facts point to it.

It was random in the sense that Sean Taylor's past troubles did not lead to his death.

Someone had a frank discussion with his producer last week about the offensive errors of Cowherd's ways. And that's all I'll say about that ;)
