More Cowherd dumbassery

Stream of conscience or did they not take your call?

I totally agree with CC. I can foresee a lot more bitching come next December. At the same time this is a step in the right direction

And now he's hyping Rosenberg...

Normally I enjoy the arguments that the Herd brings to the table...HOWEVER, he just said he respects Rosenberg...radio off instantly.

Well, regardless of what you think of Cowherd, he is not the only one the feels this way. And honestly, there is a lot of truth to that statement. Doesn't mean I have to agree with his disliking of the whole "4 team playoff" concept.

If you hate the guy that much, I'd just suggest you stop listening to his show. Just a friendly suggestion.

Cowherd rates at least a 7 on the 1-to-Skip Bayless douchepunditry scale.  In the sum 15 minutes of my life I've listened to him (and I want those 15 minutes back), his usual schtick is taking some factually obvious truism - like LeBron is a good basketball player - and selling it as ostensibly contrarian insight.  He then beats it into the ground for two hours.

(Also, stealing from the M-Zone, yo.)

how many more teams will now bitch. 4 is better than 2. 8 is even better than 4. There's always going to be teams pitching, I like the idea that more teams are involved and actually have to play other top teams to win the NC.

I stopped listening to Cowherd entirely when he went on a rant against tattoos.

His logic was this: tattoo removal business is booming, therefor all tattoos are a terrible idea. Then he said he will never hire someone with a tattoo... which is just fucking stupid.

The nice thing about him is I don't have to form any of my own opinions anymore, I just wait for him to say something and then I take the opposite side.

Seriously, I switched to Dan Patrick about a year ago and now only check Cowherd during Patrick's commercial breaks, and lately, I've even moved Roger Lodge's local sports talk show ahead of Cowherd. Yes, the guy who does all those date shows also has an Anaheim-based talk show where he mainly discusses the Angels.

I heard Cowherd tease the Rosenberg segment by saying he's becoming one of his favorite writers. Figures. Those two deserve each other.

Patrick was interviewing Mitch Williams about the recent pine tar incident, and got Mitch to admit that Roger McDowell was loaded up with vaseline. His regular talks with Mitch are insightful and often hilarious. Mitch is like Kruk when Kruk was underrated as an analyst.

Now I'll never have to worry about working for CC. (it's one of those press on tats, but I'm not telling him that)

So what, should we also scrap March Madness in favor of a 1v2 matchup? Yeah more people will complain, but none of them will have very good points. An undefeated Boise State had a good reason to complain about being left out of the 1v2 matchup, as did a one loss Oklahoma State team last year when 1 loss Alabama was chosen. Sure there will be more 10-2 teams that feel left out, but they will have themselves to blame for not winning out, as opposed to the BCS to blame for robbing them.

Every year some mediocre team complains on missing out on the NCAA tournament. They might feel like they got robbed, but in the end they had 10 or so losses and just werent good enough. That makes it a lot easier to stomach than the BCS keeping an undefeated team from getting a fair shot.

is to give them all a crystal football. 

and absolutely pointless. Teams 5-8 have no chance of competing with teams 1-4, the talent difference between the two groups is too great. An 8 team playoff would also destroy the importance of the regular season, which is what makes the college season so great. And is it really in the best interests of the players to play 16 games a season? How do you balance that with each schools' finals schedule? Can you mobilize the fan base to pay for and travel to three different locations, three weeks in a row? You'd have to eliminate the non-conference schedule if you even want to think of an 8 game playoff.

I can't recall a year in which more than 4 teams went into bowl season with a reasonable expectation/argument that they deserved a shot at the national championship ring. That will happen very rarely. No system can be perfect. This new one is a vast improvement.

Last week our local sports show guy - MSU Homer- asked why they were playing Euro 2012 games in New York.  The other guy says something like "I don't think they're playing those games here."  So MSU Homer response goes like "Yes, they are!  Brazil v. Argentina drew something like 81,000 for the game!"  I always regret when I don't hit the buttons fast enough and have to hear those guys for more than 30 seconds or so...

You're first mistake is listening to Cowherd. Now see that? I never screw up my your/you're usage. I'm dumber for having read his arguments.

Cowherd has insulted dead wrestlers, football players, and stolen intellectual property from Michigan fan websites. He is unlistenable. 

The thing that makes Cowherd such a popular radio guy is that he riles up the masses. Controversial topics keep him going. He's even said as much. As for the tattoos, i think his point is valid. He said more than a few tattoos makes a job candidate less desirable than one without them. And he specifically pointed to neck tattoos. You have to remember that the older generation still thinks they are for thugs and rockers. Colin talks well of UM and Coach Hoke all the time. Makes him alright in my book.

Just because people complain doesn't mean they have a legit beef. The #6 team in the country might claim that they deserve a shot at a national championship...but they don't. So who cares what they they think or say? Win your games and you won't have to worry about it.

My new favorite OSU image.

there is NO system in any playoff format that can claim without a doubt that the best team won and you know what, thats just fine wit me. Maybe a best of seven....... naw never mind. You may win it but that doesn't mean the best team won period. Although it would be nice to beat all your opponents so you can claim to be the best team, again that would be fine by me. Go Blue and lets start with a win against Alabama and let the debating begin.
