I like how he said "Antron Rolle".
He's a front-runner and admits it, so no harm done.

He definitely is a very intriguing and sometimes entertaining national figure, but I think the best has to go to Jim Rome.

You're absolutely joking, right? Jime Rome? I've heard monks under a vow of silence say more in a minute than he often says in an hour. Here's an example:
"Wow.....*long pause*......yeah.....*long pause*.....because.......*long pause*......*says something obvious yet still obnoxious*.
The guy's a waste, IMO.
Rome is a completely unbearable douche!
I disagree.

I disagree but understand your point of view at the same time. Sometimes he comes off as a complete narcissist, but he makes some very valid points and keeps the audience engaged with humor and off the cuff remarks. Further, I like the fact that he filters out his callers and tries to only bring people who are hilarious, astute, or both.

Every once in a while he comes up with a good point or has a good interview. The rest of the time he's either talking about something completely useless to sports, taking a minute to say one sentence over and over (literally), mocking his own fans, or trashing this or that. His 50 minutes of chaff are not woth 10 minutes of wheat.
You just described sports talk radio. Good job.

Oh no I didn't, not at all. Rome takes what some talk radio guys do some of the time and basically does it all the time. I have literally heard him repeat the same three words for almost five minutes, not changing the dial because of the car-wreck syndrome.
He has been on air since about 1995 if not more. I would be surprised if he was copying anyone. More like the other way around.
You either like his show or you don't. No biggie. I find much better than sappy mike and mike though.
Sorry but I wouldn't even put Roll that high...

8th or 1st on that list doesn't really matter. Those are all guys who can play.
What is really head scratching is in looking at the list, and realizing that Haggens had a very good season and McFadden was ok, you wonder how in the heck that defense was so inconsistent.

Have to disagree on Cowherd. Overall, I think he's fair. He's a fan of Warner and Whiz, and most of the time he treats the Cards fairly. Being objective I can see most "experts" saying the Cards are falling back, based on the players we lost. As a fan I have a lot of hope that we'll be pretty good next year, particularly on defense, if our draft is a good one. ML will have to have a BIG year for our offense to be as good as last year, but will benefit from an improved running game. IMO, Cowherd is NOT a Card hater and shouldn't be compared to Collingsworth or Esaison.

Cowherd can have an extremely patronizing tone (esp. when telling people they don't understand because they don't work in sports or in the media), he cuts people off, and most of his dialogue with fans isn't dialogue at all because he's responding to emails and not always reading them in their entirety. None of it is that big a deal because it's sports radio and entertainment, but it does tend to drive fans crazy when they are in disagreement.
I usually can't deal with listening to Rome's show because of the things described above, but I do like a lot of his interviews--especially when they're with someone you wouldn't expect a nationally syndicated radio show to give 20 mins to. Some complain that he sucks up to all his guests, but I do enjoy the fact that he very much hands over the mic, which is a little surprising considering the way the rest of his show is run.

Very nicely said. I agree.

This is what I hate about Cowherd. No one is allowed to have an opinion but him. If you so much as challenge him on a topic, he'll start spitting puke and vitriol all over his callers. At least Rome gives his callers a chance to get their opinion across, except if they say something vulgar, in which he immediately cuts off the call.

Honestly I just look forward to 1:00 pm. Cowherd and Rome are just fillers till my local sports talk comes on...Which is kinda dissapointing cause I'm not a huge fan of either local talk shows in the afternoon.
They were bakers.I just wonder what Collin's family did for a living when they were handing out last names?
Speaking of a certain kind of bag....

"a portion" - what portion? If this guy is the "christian" he claims to be, shouldn't ALL of that $$$ go to his foundation?
Wait - "his" foundation - Is he the director? Is he paying himself?
He seems like a turd to me.

Arguably the greatest college player of all time and people think he'll fall out of the top 2 rounds. Trying to make a little coin before he joins a team making about 1 mill a year isn't that big of a deal. The fact that he is putting any of the money into charity should be what we look at. It's his money. Nobody says anything when Beanie gets $20,000 for a 4 hour signing at local card shops. Did that money go to charity?
