God Bless Colin Cowherd for Supporting America's Team
So there's four words I never thought I'd use to begin a post title. Maybe being on FOX has helped immunize him against the b.s. coming out of the Worldwide Leader in Spite™️. But this was great.
November 13th, 2023 at 2:58 PM ^
Damn. Wow.
November 13th, 2023 at 6:58 PM ^
They say war makes for strange bedfellows. And here is an example.
November 13th, 2023 at 3:11 PM ^
Consider that Stephen A. went on air this morning and said if Michigan goes undefeated they shouldn't be eligible to be in the playoffs in light of the events that are taking place. So... yeah I'm gonna go ahead and say Cowherd wins by default if you want to make comparisons
November 13th, 2023 at 3:19 PM ^
clickbaiters gonna clickbait
November 13th, 2023 at 3:40 PM ^
Stephen A Smith isn’t even his real identity. He’s actually George Jefferson, and he is NOT movin on up.
November 13th, 2023 at 4:13 PM ^
they shouldn't be eligible to be in the playoffs
Based on what? The NCAA said Harbaugh isn't tied to 'Team Stallions' and the NCAA thinks their 'advanced scouting' is not illegal (they've never punished for it).
Stephen A has multiple characters of himself that pop up throughout a single discussion. Annoying. Especially.... WHEN...he....changes... HIS VOICE... aaaand cadence.
November 13th, 2023 at 4:33 PM ^
Based on whatever it takes to get paid...Smith knows outrage sells, outrage + well known brand is highly profitable to the merchants of said outrage.
Its not complicated...
November 13th, 2023 at 4:15 PM ^
But it's OK to have 10+ illegal recruits on a team...
November 13th, 2023 at 5:08 PM ^
Why does anyone watch someone who just says the dumbest shit to piss the most people off? I’ll never understand. It’s just not worth my time to watch this Smith individual.
November 13th, 2023 at 3:06 PM ^
I think Colin Cowherd is excellent. Thanks for posting that.
November 13th, 2023 at 3:06 PM ^
Anyone see Feinbaum and Matt Barie's hit piece today on Moore's emotions and on Michigan fans on the offical ESPN College Football Youtube channel? I have never seen anything like it. The most hate filled, biased, seething commentary against a program and its fans that I have ever seen by purported "national" journalists.
Beyond disgusting. Two rats laying it on a young coach who God forbid showed emotion after being under huge national pressure with Harbaugh out.
Feinbaum's true colors could not be more clear.
November 13th, 2023 at 3:15 PM ^
fuck Paul Finebaum.
November 13th, 2023 at 3:21 PM ^
I thought his name was Pete
November 13th, 2023 at 3:40 PM ^
You are thinking of Paul Thamel.
November 13th, 2023 at 4:16 PM ^
That was some of the worst nearly 7 minutes I have experienced all year. Really, I am not sure why ESPN has gone so off-the-charts with anti-UM bias, but this is probably the poster child.
Don't watch it. You'll regret it. Serious assholery by 2 of the biggest assholes in sports media.

November 13th, 2023 at 10:26 PM ^
Couldn't help myself. I clicked. Got thru almost 2 minutes.
November 13th, 2023 at 6:49 PM ^
Pete Feinbaum, Pat Thamel and Paul Fordeee. The three dickheads.
November 13th, 2023 at 7:59 PM ^
Satan does....
November 13th, 2023 at 3:17 PM ^
I posted this in another thread. Stephen A was on with three other talking heads and the subject was "Was the punishment enough?" I wasn't listening, it was on a TV at the health club but it was a ten minute segment. Was the punishment enough for what? For what hasn't been completely investigated yet, so no one knows what it really was yet? No ESPN on campus.
November 13th, 2023 at 3:39 PM ^
Health club
Tell me you’re old without telling me you’re old. lol.
And it’s 90% I’m older than you!
Thanks for that, needed it on a Monday.
November 13th, 2023 at 7:46 PM ^
Dude, I'm old.
November 13th, 2023 at 9:02 PM ^
It’s all relative.
November 13th, 2023 at 3:20 PM ^
Care to provide a summary of what they were saying? I know Matt Barrie was getting some well-deserved hate from Michigan fans for him and Galloway making fun of Sherrone Moore for his show of emotion after the game. Maybe he's upset that he's getting hate?
November 13th, 2023 at 3:34 PM ^
Smith was saying that Michigan should be banned from the CPF, with Greenberg essentially nodding along and two other guys sitting there not saying anything, thus tacitly supporting it.
Get ready for it. Pressure will mount on BIG and the CFP to keep Michigan out if they continue to win.
November 13th, 2023 at 3:25 PM ^
Finebaum is a joke; he's taken his SEC slappydom to even lower lows than I thought possible. ES(EC)PN is trying to get two of "its" teams (and they are its teams) into the CFB. This is all about that; not one thing more.
November 13th, 2023 at 5:14 PM ^
ESPN likely worried Michigan will take down their SEC in the playoffs, better to keep them out of it somehow.
November 13th, 2023 at 8:22 PM ^
Wow. Too bad they rarely completed a thought. They said so many things as if there was more to say and then they jumped to a different hit angle.
November 13th, 2023 at 3:08 PM ^
The media are so screwed up that Colin Cowherd is not only (somehow) the voice of reason, but I'm actually a fan, now. What is life?
November 13th, 2023 at 3:12 PM ^
I know, right?
With the way this is being fought in the media, it might behoove us to do what we can to amplify voices like his and Wetzel's.
November 13th, 2023 at 3:22 PM ^
I stopped watching/listening to ESPN about 10 years ago or so and that's probably the last time I listened to Cowherd (he was on EPSN radio at the time). I liked him back then, though I can't really say I'm a fan since it's been so long, but he certainly sounds like the same guy he was then.
I am reminded that he had a segment clowning on Michigan fans back around the Rich Rod times where he kept saying the phrase "take off the Wolverine pajamas," and my buddies and I thought it was such an unusual thing to say that it has become a part of our vocabulary.
November 13th, 2023 at 4:18 PM ^
I stopped watching ESPN when they let go of a bunch of people recently and one of them was Neil Everett.. He was pretty much the only thing i watched on ESPN and was on the night-owl shift... and a fellow deadhead :)
November 13th, 2023 at 8:07 PM ^
Hey now
November 14th, 2023 at 9:15 PM ^
Yes yes Weir everywhere :)
November 13th, 2023 at 3:12 PM ^
Love it.
November 13th, 2023 at 3:14 PM ^
Sadly, he, like most other sports personalities, has skin in this game. I can’t help but think how his shtick would change if he were on ESPN.
November 13th, 2023 at 3:19 PM ^
I agree. All these people are doing some degree of playacting. We have no idea how they really view the UM situation.
November 13th, 2023 at 3:24 PM ^
Cowherd is correct. Jim is trolling the trolls. Your move trolls.
November 13th, 2023 at 3:24 PM ^
Good stuff...
I like his Maryland take they can score and they are a trap between to huge games! BEWARE as I believe the team will be
November 13th, 2023 at 3:45 PM ^
This team is the trap.
All the nancies predicting upset alerts before the season…we ham-blasted every one of those “trap” teams.
Urban was right (I’m puking now) this nonsense ensures an enthusiasm unknown to mankind!
November 13th, 2023 at 8:25 PM ^
Urbs also said, in all his years of coaching "he never heard of advance scouting." So Urbs, where did all that video you watched come from? Next week's games from the future perhaps? Yes, almost everyone is acting and all the worlds a stage.
I don't think he totally missed the headline NFL news that New England had cameras on the other team's signals.
November 13th, 2023 at 3:27 PM ^
Weird times we are living in. Cannot believe I have ever agreed with Collin on anything until now.
November 13th, 2023 at 3:44 PM ^
UM agreeing with Cowherd, OSU agreeing with Feinbaum... wtf is college football coming to?
November 13th, 2023 at 3:36 PM ^
That. Was. Awesome.
Bet
Go Blue!
November 13th, 2023 at 3:47 PM ^
I stopped bothering to listen to most talking heads as they are not (mostly) based on facts or due process anymore.
I do listen to Klatt - his position mirrors mine the most.
Investigate the facts. Have the NCAA issue a notice of allegation. There is due process where Michigan is allowed to defend itself. If they are found to have violated rules, they should be punished appropriately.
The B1G's actions did not follow that process: it was unilateral and in violation of the conference rules.
People will give themselves a heart attack by following this too closely, especially listening to every talking head espouse their opinion...Unplug, its honestly a lot better for your mental state.
November 13th, 2023 at 3:51 PM ^
What a bizarrely polarizing issue
