OT: Colin Cowherd makes fun of U of M women

Slow day in sports, and nothing to ground breaking here, but my least favorite sports commenatator Collin Cowherd took a little jap at ladies from Ann Arbor.  During his interview with Kate Upton, he states, "I have been to Ann Arbor before, and there is not many Kate Upton's there".   (I know its hard to match the beauty of Kate, but you get his point). Whats more stupid about the comment is how he thinks she was a Michigan student.  Interview here, http://deadspin.com/5885390/kate-upton-hangs-up-on-colin-cowherd-after-he-asks-what-shes-wearing-how-much-she-gets-paid .  (States this at :42 secs).  The whole interview i thought was just low class and ackward.

It seems to me most people like Cowherd the way they like a class clown. He's a great entertainer, but most people would think twice about inviting him to dinner ;)

 

In other words, I'm not at all surprised.

If you don't take him seriously, then he makes some decent background noise...

I agree though, what bothers me is that he makes connections between various things and incorrectly argues that they're directly related and states other as though he's the first person to come up with his analogies, which is rarely true.

For example, Cowherd is the kind of host that will make a theoretical (not fact-based argument) that the only cause of stadiums being sold out is the current winningness of the team. He won't show any correlation in data or, like, admit to us the fact that there are other contributing factors (tradition, marketing, whatever, this was just a random example).

Broad generalizations without knowing subtleties. And after you read this you could argue that I'm doing the same, but I've listened to enough Cowherd (not often, but enough) to have a valid opinion.

In fact, calling him a clown is a serious insult to clowns.  As soon as I hear his name, I switch the station.  He looks like a dweeb and acts like an a*%.

Most people just said that Cowherd is an idiot.  An MSU fan, above, said that Ann Arbor women should be appreciated for their intelligence.  Your post and maybe a few others pulled this thread down (though, admittedly, anything to do with Colin Cowherd starts pretty low).

You should find another blog if you want to call women cows.  This blog is not RCMB, or whatever it's called.  It's one thing to start a thread about something that few people care about.  It's another to post something that makes Michigan fans look like a bunch of doucebags. 

As for being a p.c. monitor and protector of women, I'm just pointing out common decency.  I'm guessing that you would react similarly if someone made a crack about African Americans and fried chicken and watermelons...Or maybe you wouldn't, but either way, grow up.
