Ah, Cowherd

The Manifesto of Fratboy Nation:

Proudly stupid, sexist, misogynist, borderline racist, xenophobic, homophobic, elitist and infatuated with the toasty aroma of his own farts.

 

No. They get what's called "tax incentives."

 

The few times I tried to listen to his show, the logic he tried to employ was so flawed and so banal, I haven't been able to go back. He really likes to use the 'since A=B, then C=D must be true' logic (illustrated again in the first post above). Only problem is AB and CD have absolutely no rational relationship, and his A=B statements aren't always true.

Worst sports radio show I've ever heard. And I won't be back.

Don't bother yourself with Cowherd, Alma--you're above that.

 

The kicker was that Cowherd actually said <i>spiritually</i> successful, too. <i>Thou shalt not take Medicaid.</i> Or something like that.

I'm just shocked ESPN continues to employ him, and that the old Ombud has devoted a column especially to him. No one else at ESPN even remotely sounds like he does. When they're sober, anyway.

 

I gotta admit...it was the "spiritually successful" line that got me. I'd never heard the phrase before and it just sounds so...inane.

At any rate, I am interested that ESPN bothers to employ the creep. I imagine it's because Cowherd probably goes wherever they tell him to, sells up the affiliates with a glut of dirty stories. They're not supposed to talk about that on air, but it's just as important as the actual show. That's why radio is royally screwed up.

 

Yeah, a spiritually strong father wouldn't want his kids to eat if the government was footing the bill. Gotcha.

 

I'm guessing this rant was spurred by something recently with his ex-wife.

How she lasted as long as she did ...

 

He actually was a decent guy when I knew him, before he went to ESPN. His show in those days certainly was (for lack of a better word) irreverent, but nowhere near what it is now.

 

I don't know that he isn't a decent guy. He just doesn't sound like one.

 

Very, very accurate. I noticed the same thing. He became a REAL asshole soon after he broke up.

I now leave the radio off at that time of the day rather than have him as background noise.

 

Strong.

 

Cowherd is great, I don't see what the big deal is.
