Colin Cowherd from the top rope...again.
Supporting Michigan and Harbaugh, trolling OSU and Day. Doesn't get much better.
On a somewhat related note, the Fox Sports/ESPN dynamic is just crazy to me. I'm 45 and I remember waking up and having breakfast before school while watching SportsCenter every morning, and loving every minute of it. Now ESPN is "the enemy". While I'm thankful that we (Michigan) have an advocate in sports media as strong as Fox Sports, it's also so disappointing to feel like we've somehow slipped into Fox News/MSNBC territory. I hate it, but I guess this is the world we live in.

Yeah he has egg on his face too. Michigan not fighting the suspension.

Cowherd is a rage jockey but that doesn't mean he's wrong.
November 16th, 2023 at 5:09 PM ^
He's wrong a lot, just because he randomly agrees with us doesn't mean his garbage is worth sharing.

Rage jockey? Do you even watch Cowherd? He's opinionated, snarky and arrogant sometimes but zero rage. One of the more intelligent and fair sports show hosts IMO. His format isn't fake rage debates. Much smarter and thoughtful than Pat Mcafee or Stephen A. Smith.

I think it has a lot to do with the fact that Fox Sports has connections to the B1G whereas ESPN has connections to the SEC. It's likely just that simple.

It's not just connections, it's a full on proxy war.

ESPN has been so bad lately as to make Fox look relatively professional. I mean even before all this, they had descended into Morton Downey style trash TV for the bulk of their programming.
When I was in the hospital this year, their daytime stuff was utterly unwatchable: sub-moronic 'hot take' shoutfests about LeBron (et al) minutiae. College Gameday is totally geared toward SEC-cornball culture and is just a 3-hour cringefest.
I know this probably started with that dumb show where Woody Paige argues with other low-watt personality sportswriters -- and is given 'points' by some faceless talking haircut douchewad -- but the fact that anyone respects ESPN as a voice of anything anymore is baffling.

Paul Finebaum and Ari Wasserman should be served a defamation suit, IMO

I'd forgotten, if I ever knew, that OSU ilk bitched about refs in Georgia game. Cry me a river all the way to 2016.
Or fell back in MH injury as excuse. Where are all the other, wall to wall five stars?
Aside from which they got a pass to that game even after getting trucked on their own field by a team (X3) minus its "main" star.
How miserable do you have to be to bemoan your lot and luck as a Buckeye fan in recent memory?
I know the question answers itself.

ESPN isn't the enemy, it's that all their programming and studio segments suck.
