    Don't mean to sound naive, but who is "Cowherd" and what market is his radio show broadcast?

    Of all the pokes at him on this thread, if Cowherd is reading, this is the one that will hurt.

    I know the identities of all but one of those 18,000+ posters. I'd gladly hire ANY of them. Talented folks.

    Cowherd has been criticized in articles by ESPN's ombudsman three times for his activities on the show. The first was for using unattributed material from "M Zone,"[3] a University of Michigan fan blog. The second occurred in 2007 after he told listeners to "blow up" the servers of sports blog "The Big Lead," causing a massive influx of visitors to the site.[4] The blog site's servers were not capable of handling so many users at one time so the site was knocked offline until the site moved to a new host that could handle a larger volume of users.

    The third instance was related to his comments in late 2007 relating to the death of football player Sean Taylor. Cowherd angered many when he stated that Taylor's death was his gang-related past catching up with him. Taylor's death was later found to have been the result of a botched robbery, and the robbers reportedly did not know that Taylor was home at the time. ESPN's Ombudsman, Le Anne Schreiber said she had received emails saying that Cowherd spoke in a "gloating, know-it-all voice," and that emailers found his statements "appalling" and "indecent."[5]
