MERGED: Colin Cowherd rips Votto, the Reds, and Paul Daughtery - Page 3 - RedsZone.com - Cincinnati Reds Fans' Home for Baseball Discussion

Let everyone keep on saying those things. It's music to my ears, because we and other educated baseball fans know what is really going on with this team.

How can anyone think Votto is not a great player?! He's been hitting the cover off the ball all season!

GIDP · 08-17-2010, 11:31 AM

He once said jacoby Ellsbury would win the MVP if he wasnt in the AL. He also said only good players end up in the AL.

I don't listen to him much. Just happened to be bored, and it was the only thing on.

I just turned it off, actually. I can't stand this guy's ego and sense of self.

Why this crap passes as national talk radio, I'll never understand.

and if you ever come back at him with any sort of facts or real knowledge, I'm sure he would call you an "umemployed meatball who lives in his mom's basement," or something like that.

He and Skip Bayless are both angry sportstalk guys who like to be contrary just to be contrary.

He doesn't play in NYC or LA, so he doesn't matter.

Here are Daugherty's thoughts on this lunatic:

Quote:

ESPN radio Head Colin Cowherd decided the Reds were “frauds.” Among the dumbest comments made lately by a national radio guy, and that’s saying a bit. Let’s try this:

By August, frauds are gasping. Take LA, for instance. The best thing about Baseball is 162 games. The Reds have played 118. They’re in 1st place. Apparently, it’s all an accident.

This is what happens when East Coast elitist w/West Coast upbringing encounters a team in Flyover Country. He does no homework, makes vast assumptions based on the most recent news (in this case, St. Looie’s 3-game sweep) and makes an ass of himself. Cowherd is good, you think, until he starts talking about teams with whom you are intimately familiar. Then the emperor’s wardrobe is fully revealed.

Of course, if the Reds win the division/make the playoffs, Cowherd will avoid the subject entirely. Just another radio goofball. The only national radio guy who is consistently smart is Dan Patrick. Patrick is also the best interviewer in the business. Unlike Cowherd, he does not posit himself as an expert on everything, and generally takes himself less than seriously. Plus, being from Dayton, Patrick can actually find Cincinnati without a GPS.

What's surprising is that this nerd is still on the air.

I'll take the press, though.

By the way, I take none of his sports opinions very seriously. if it's not happening in NYC or LA., then it doesn't matter to him.

He also says "quit rooting for the local team."

:

Like him or not, except for the Votto comment, his points are at least somewhat valid.

I can't stand the guy either, it's the same as Bayless with the Bengals, you would think they came from the same womb, but who cares, media attention is good and hopefully can give us a little more fire power for the end of the season. Go Reds.....

Reds · 08-17-2010, 12:08 PM

Now he's ripping the Jets and Reds. Doesn't believe in either in the playoffs.

mroby85 · 08-17-2010, 12:09 PM

Cowherd and Bayless just say things for shock value. I enjoy watching/listening to their shows just because I find them entertaining, but I don't think they even believe what they say half the time.

Strength of schedule
Reds .483
Cards .490

Relative Power Index

If it wasnt for the Reds the Cardinals wouldnt even be in the playoff race.
