A few things...
1. His take on Harbaugh not leaving the NFL was shared by many. I see nothing wrong with anything he said. Sure, it ended up being incorrect. But his opinion during that 4 minutes were not disrespectful or outlandish. It was an opinion many share(d) about Harbs, CFB, NFL and the UM gig.
2. Sports radio is largely repetitive and unimaginative. Cowherd is repetetive, but he is actually creative. I might not agree with all of his opinions, but at least they make me think. Mike Golic, on the other hand, has never said anything ever that I did not already know.
3. CC and Harbs both have pretty big egos. I'll be interested tomorrow who controls the interview. CC dominates his "sources" when they are on the show. But a few weeks ago he had on Seinfeld and there was no doubt who was the alpha dog in the interview (not CC).
Quote from ESPN NBA suck-up-in-chief Chriss Broussard's "insider take" on rumors of John Calipari going to Sacramento: "It's not a stretch that they may have talked about it to some degree." Wow, that's journalism. No word yet on if he has figured out a way to add a syllable to Coach Cal's name, as so eloquently has for "Duh-wayne Wade" or "Duh-wight Howard"
Agreed...Broussard is horrible. He has the master at using 75 words to say something he could have said in 20 words. And this Windhorst guy is a miserable excuse for an insider.
Simmons was the glue to their NBA staff.
I will never forget him trying to troll Michigan fans with his tweets during the coaching search. It's unfortunate that someone like him occupies such a wide-reaching platform.
I defended Cowherd yesterday, but these are terrible questions. CC is way to intense. Almost sounds nervous.
Wow, this is a painful interview. Jim Harbaugh is giving him nothing.
I feel like Harbaugh is the ultimate troll on purpose sometimes. Hahaha. He seemed so disinterested.

Uhhh, that was an odd interview to say the least.

Cowherd says that was the worst interview he has ever given. He did that on purpose. It's not that hard to build rapport, even with a guy like Harbaugh. You just need to understand what the person cares about. Cowherd's said he follows him on Twitter and that it's evident he is committed to the community. Why not ask him about throwing out the first pitch at the Tigers game last night?
I mean this was Cowherd's first question: when are you at your least intense?
Harbaugh: I don't know. Ask Sarah, my wife.
Harbaugh: This feels like 50 questions in a row.
