OT- Colin Cowherd to leave ESPN for Fox Sports

[frankeegee1]

Ugh

 

[Osbern61]

He supported Jenner.

Yes he did. I've always liked his show, watched it on ESPN U for about an hour each day, hopefully Fox has him somewhere in my small listening/watching window.

I disagree with Cowherd a lot but I've always liked his show. The problem with being a national radio guy is once you criticize a team or player the sensitive fans will turn on you. The local homers have it much easier.

 

[MrYeahBut]

I have always preferred Le Batard and Stugotz. Cowherd got to be too irritating for me. I quit listening to him a year or so ago. His tv show was ghastly, IMO

 

[gmabel830]

Too bad they didn't pair Bickley with Berry and give us back Chuck and Vince!

I really like Bomani Jones, and hope they pick him to replace Colin in that slot from an ESPN perspective

 

[redheat]

The right time

 

[JS22]

Time to bring back Bruce Jacobs and Mike Golic.

 

[Brak]

It's also crazy to see his pic as when I listen to him, I imagine him being a guy in is late 50's early 60's. Just has a old mans voice IMO.

He's 50.

I thought I would hate Bomani, but I gave him a shot and I like what I hear. He keeps it real. Sometimes, over-accentuates his voice, but his takes are on point.

 

[Finito]

You're probably the only person besides he and his family members to think that Le Batard is better than Colin.

The Le batard show is great. By far the best on sports radio.

 

[RonF]

I liked him, didn't always agree with him, but found his opinions to be interesting. He should do well on FOX Sports.

 

[Goldfield]

Good. Maybe he won't be on my radio station from 10-1 anymore.

This....

 

[RON_IN_OC]

His show sucks, good riddance.

If ESPN had any brains at all they would put the Dan Le Batard show on nationally, one of the best radio shows on the dial these days if you ask me.

Can't stand that show...no substance at all...just gimmicks and fluff, too me.

 

[RON_IN_OC]

Too honest and controversial for ESPN. ESPN spits out softball pablum. His shortened interview with Jim Harbaugh last week was gold. ESPN has parted ways with Michele Beadle, Bill Simmons, Keith Olberman and now Colin Cowherd. See the pattern?

They are also trying to lower payroll, as their profits have taken a hit...

Fair enough. But this is ESPN we are talking about, what isn't fluff that comes from that company.

 

[JCSunsfan]

Does that mean he won't be on the radio anymore? THAT IS GREAT NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He is a pompous moron. Who seems to love to discuss things like

SoCal cost of living is higher because the weather is better

 

[TJ]

Le Batard is filler at best. He in any prime spot would suffer and drive ratings to the ground.

I like to listen to people who know more about sports than I. Le Batard does not.

 

[AZCrazy]

I wouldn't mind a quality local show on 98.7 in that time slot. Leave the unlistenable national crap to the 610 secondary station.

Bertrand Berry is taking over that time slot in Phoenix.

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

I love Cowheard...

Cowherd's time at ESPN ended a little earlier than expected. After his remarks about the Dominican Republic, ESPN cut him lose.

[Iceman]

Wonder if Fox is having 2nd thoughts now about bringing him in?

 

[RON_IN_OC]

Doubt it...Who knows, could have been a calculated move by Cowherd, to get an early vacation.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Not sure about Fox Sports but they may have a spot for him at Fox news now.

There was nothing calculated if you listen to the entire conversation rather than Deadspin's edited clip.
