Colin Cowherd

[Choonch]

On his show today...he said the Cubs are a lock to lose before making it to the WS. Ok. But, his reasoning?:

 

1) Pressure. He kept saying "Look at what the Cubs have done in August...they aren't hot!" Good thing he did this segment today and not on Friday. The Cubs won 20 games in August.

 

2) He mentioned that Fukudome has been awful. Ok, but he's been awful since June.

 

3) Z's struggles.

 

He also went on some rant about how superior the AL is compared to the NL and how the NL playoffs are usually determined by who is hot at the time. He insinuates that the Cubs are not hot right now and the pressure has gotten to them and they've peaked.

 

He's so arrogant and times like today make me realize why I don't listen to his show very often. I think it's a defendable position to say that the Cubs will get beat in the NL playoffs (there are real concerns), but to be so matter of fact based on the reasons he gave? [-X

does he realize there's still practically a whole month of regular season play to get hot again?

How dare you let facts get in the way of his argument!

Colin Cowherd is about the least aware person I can think of

well, considering he thought the cubs weren't hot in august, my guess would be that, no, he doesn't realize that.

20-8 in August. Absolutely pathetic.

 

Also we lost the 1st game of every month beside June, so losing game 1 of September isnt exactly crushing.

I'm sorry, but we are not discussing Mark Buehrle.

I really hate when someone says something negative about our team and then we whine about it online.

 

It's so Cardinals fan.

His biggest problem is that he deals only in absolutes and is a totally, completely arrogant prick. Other than that, he's ok.

I don't think you read the post. He's not complaining because Colin's being negative, he's complaining because Colin's being stupid.

Agreed. My mistake.

 

But it's a thin line.

Correct, I couldn't care less about what a journalist (not that Colin is one) thinks of the Cubs chances (there are legit reasons for concern) - but the reasons he gave just didn't make sense.

yeah but if we are going to complain every time colin cowherd says something stupid, we'll never have time to discuss anything else.

[burnt out cubbie fan]

shouldn't he be out hawking a vizio tv or something?

[Shilzzz]

The Rush Limbaugh of sports talk radio.

Yep. I do listen to him more in the fall because he covers college football way more than any other national show. For football and some picks/gambling advice he's pretty decent. Anything else and he's terrible.

Cowherd's a tool
