    I understand you have to have an ego to succeed in this business but he takes a "I'm right, you're wrong, don't debate me" stance to an extreme.

    First time I ever heard of Cowherd was shortly after Eddie Guerrero, the wrestler, died of a heart attack in 2005. He was making jokes about it just to get under the skin of wrestling fans. And he admitted it.

    He's done the same thing time and time again. It's almost like he's trying to get Paul Finebaum's callers to call him.
     
  2. I always found the off-switch is effective if you want to be "saved" from a particular host.

    Great point Walter
     
  4. Jeff should re-enable the ignore button so users can be saved from me.

    I agree, bring back the Ignore button, so shotglass can treat me and my friends the way the Journalism world treats him.

    Yeah, I'd definitely hit this thread over the TV thread, Head.

    I used to listen to Rome in the 90s when the San Antonio station replayed it at night. His shtick then was new and funnier. It didn't have a shelf life, however.

    Nowadays the only sports talk I listen to over the air is local, which is pretty good here. I have a long drive home at night, so I listen to TalkSport on my phone to keep up with EPL news.

    I'm actually watching Cowherd for the first time in at least a year right now ... POTUS is coming on with him in a minute or two.

    I hope one of those times was when he would tell the world that Mark Sanchez was better than Aaron Rodgers because he had won playoff games.

    I forgot about that... he definitely had to walk back his dislike of Rodgers.
