Colin Cowherd Sure Is Classy

... Dan Steinberg has been collecting quotes from Shrutebag's "coverage" of Taylor's passing over the past day or so, and I wanted to share a few (since I refuse to listen to the ass)..... ...

Off Topic: Colin Cowherd is a D-Bag
Published 11/29/2007 by (j)on at The Nationals Report
Thanks to the always well written, and almost always funny Sports Bog, I found this story. Highlights: Colin Cowherd claims Sean Taylor basically had it coming, because he used to be hood. Also, people can't change. And he's omniscient. Oh, and he's blatantly ignorant on race issues. Some quotes... Sean Taylor, great player has a history of really really bad judgment, really really bad judgment. Cops, assault, spitting, DUI. I'm supposed to believe his judgment got significantly better in two years, from horrible to fantastic? 'But Colin he ...

Responding to Colin Cowherd

Not that he cares what I think, but even though Dan Steinberg (also at Awful Announcing) aptly took him to task for being a disgusting human being, I still want to clear some air here. Per the Bog, quoting Cowherd on his show: ...

Sports Bog Puts Sean Taylor's Death, Media Reaction in Perpsective
Published 11/29/2007 by Ryan Wilson at FanHouse
Filed under: Redskins, NFL Fans, Washington, DC Sports Bog's Dan Steinberg nails it when talking about the somewhat peculiar reaction in parts of the media to the murder of Redskins' safety Sean Taylor. As Steinberg writes, some scribes claimed to be unsurprised when the news broke that Taylor had been the shot, even though nobody new exactly what had happened. Somehow, the story went from being about the senseless death of a 24-year-old entering the prime of his life, both professionally and as a father, to which journalist could write why Taylor died. How did we get there? I mean, other than the guy who actually ...

Blogsifting: a time for perspective
Published 11/30/2007 by withmalice at With Malice...
... Colin Cowherd’s a jackass.  He is living proof that the mainstream media get it wrong, and on a regular basis.  I rarely listen to his show, and each time I do, I remember why I don’t.  I’m not surprised about his thoughts on Sean Taylor - that doesn’t mean I’m not disgusted either.  Dan Steinberg rips Colin Blowhard Cowherd at D.C.

After Sean Taylor Column, Washington Post Writer Called 'Heartless, Gutless Pr---'
Published 11/30/2007 by Michael David Smith at FanHouse
Filed under: Redskins, NFL Media Watch, Washington, DC After Redskins safety Sean Taylor was murdered, Washington Post writer Leonard Shapiro wrote a column headlined, "Taylor's Death is Tragic but Not Surprising." Shaprio tells the Washington City Paper that the e-mails he has received number in the hundreds, and that for every one he gets agreeing with him, he gets 100 disagreeing with him. "This is the most I've gotten for anything since I started doing the column," Shapiro says. "Every time I click over, there are three or four new ones, many of them starting with 'Mr. Shapiro, you ...

Our Last Ever Mention Of The Schrutebag [Colin Cowherd]
Published 12/3/2007 by Leitch at Deadspin
We're not sure why we bother anymore, but anyway: Here's today's idiotic rant from ESPN Schrutebag Colin Cowherd on the death of Sean Taylor. Sean Taylor, great player has a history of really really bad judgment, really really bad judgment. Cops, assault, spitting, DUI. I'm supposed to believe his judgment got significantly better in two years, from horrible to fantastic? 'But Colin he cleaned up his act.' Well yeah, just because you clean the rug doesn't mean you got everything out. Sometimes you've got stains, stuff so deep it never ever leaves. No, all the information's not in. But I feel pretty confident that my gut feeling, like any of ...

I Heard the News Today, Oh Boy…
Published 12/4/2007 by Dave at Dave's Football Blog
Sports blogging is nothing if not a timely business. We look for interesting, funny and terrible news stories upon which to opine, take comments, throw out the occasional follow-up and move on to the next thing, because there’s always something next, especially in football. This week’s something next, though, makes me wonder whether blogging about all types of football is worth the trouble. I mean, look at what people are talking about this week: Ashley Young wanking on a webcam, an underage female fan in Switzerland sleeping with an entire team, Serbian ultras setting a plainclothes cop on fire, and a Peruvian player ...

Sports blogs, sports writers and why sports journalism doesn’t matter
Published 4/30/2008 by R.J. at Snobs vs. Slobs
Mike Schur has already touched on this, as has Will Leitch , the folks at Kissing Suzy Kolber and A.J. Daleurio . Both were subjects of an episode of Bob Costas’ HBO show Tuesday evening as Buzz Bissinger basically set himself on fire getting angry at Leitch about sports bloggers.—- Some things to think about before we go any deeper: First, I’m not really a sports blogger. In a technical sense, yes, our site runs on blogging software and, yes, I sometimes write here. But, I don’t consider myself a sports blogger and self-definition is very important. So, if you think I’m defending sports bloggers or blogs in general (more on that in a second) ...
