This Hurts Us More Than It Hurts You, Colin

... Now. We're still not sure why Cowherd decided to go after The Big Lead -- we're the ones who said he sucks in a headline -- but we're not mad at him. We really just kind of feel sad. It must be frustrating to have a fan base only because of your affiliation with a Vader-esque national network, to want to feel "freewheeling" and "controversial" when your name is Colin. We understand how alone it can feel to realize that the game has passed you by, that the same schtick you've made your "career" out of is in danger of collapsing in on itself like a dying star. When one is threatened and scared, one tends to lash out at the ones they love. So we are sorry, Colin; we can't imagine how hard it must be to go through what you're going through. You're in our thoughts.

... warrants a mention. See, Colin Cowherd - he of the internet plagiarism and heavily caps-locked e-mails - decided to flood The Big Lead today, sending the site’s bandwidth, which probably has similar capacity to ours, into an untenable situation. The Big Lead is still down as of 8:09 p.m., and if you ask me, that’s totally fucked up. (

... Take for what it is. An act of shock joke rambling because the unlimited discussions of sports escapes him. Rather than being a sports talk show host, he'll provide the lessons Jerry Springer taught us years ago by shocking you with trash in the media. Which is fine. If you have a limited capacity to speak on something related to sports talk, then do something else. Like trash an entire city and piss off their residents. Like stealing from blogs and crediting as your own -- and being a prick when the original author asks for credit. I'm sure now, you're getting a lesson in spam with obnoxious emails (Cowherds email:

... They spoke on the interesting names to be found leading each state, and seemed delighted that Fred McGriff was the Florida leader with 493. The broadcasters even gave me the courtesy of mentioning that they found the list on “The Pastime dot net”, which I’m very grateful for. It’s refreshing to see a member of the media give credit to the blogging world instead of simply lifting content. Colin Cowherd could learn a lot from Tommy Hutton and Rich Waltz.
