Colin all the way.

I admit that years ago I used to dislike him alot too. But he has evolved and he has gained quite a large following on ESPN radio. He used to make many rasg statements just for ratings...which he admitted. Now he doesnt have to.

I like that he translates alot of what goes on in sports to what happens in real life. He doesnt talk stats either. He can present some very tough and objective opinions which angers many fans and he aint afraid to admit he was wrong. He will say things that have an educational element and makes his listeners think for themselves.

As for Dan Patrick. His radio show began to bore me years ago. Then he got his little group of Danettes. I think Dan is a remarkably good interviewer. But when he plays to the Danettes, it's too much kiss butt for me. Too many inside jokes too. Dan just reports news and comments. He doesnt offer me the same insight on stories like Colin does.

I tried responding to this rationally 3 times. I can't.

This is the most asinine post I've ever read on timesfour.

Evolved

Tough

Objective

Agreed!... well said
I wish Rome would have never started the whole "Clones" thing on his radio show. He was good, until he decided all his listeners had to talk like him and be like him to call in, so now anyone who listens to his show is one of his so-called "clones"?

Gee Jim, just thought I was listening to sports talk radio, not trying to be like you. Roll Eyes

I guess I'm just sick of egotistical people. Patrick is one too. It's all about him.

Boris is right, Colin Cowherd is an asshat. No doubt about it. Still, I can tolerate his show the longest because he focuses on football first (with hoops and baseball next, in that order). I also like that he's willing to make predictions, which Rome and Patrick never do (because then they would have to be wrong half the time, which might bruise their giant egos, and besides, it is way easier to be a Monday Morning QB).

So none of them are perfect, but at the same time, I'd venture it is a lot harder than it seems.
