On the matter of Tiger Woods calling himself “a spazz”, ESPN Radio’s Colin Cowherd flipped out this morning over “The London Telegraph (sic)” criticizing Woods for his choice of words.
“London newsapers have pictures of naked people all over them, where do they get off lecturing about decency?” sneered Cowherd (above), who claimed (presumably) with a straight face that he had no idea “spazz” might refer to someone with cerebral palsy. Presumably, he also had no clue that “spazz” might be derived from “spastic”.
“London newspapers,” opined Cowherd, “are busy covering the Queen waving to people and William and Harry’s polo scores. Leave the real news to the big boys.”
Though there are many things wrong with The Daily Telegaph, American readers will become very frustrated if they’re looking for pin-up pics (or coverage of, as Cowherd put it, “the Queen going to the bathroom”).
But I do take Colin’s general point — no one on earth is more qualified to tackle the planet’s big stories than the American news media. Stories about plagiarism or untalented radio hacks who think their listeners want to hear about their hard-ons for Courtney Love.
I can’t stand Colin Cowherd. If anyone wants to know why America elects right-winger after right-winger after idiot, they should look no further than Colin’s demographic.
Matt –
One needs to take into consideration what sports comedy and parodies really are all about. Mixed with his chappelle-esque jokes and sports knowledge the man is simply a genius. I am sorry to say that the reason why you liberal pieces of trash keep LOSING elections is because you produce nothing each and every year and y our demographic cant even afford radios to listen to terrestrial radio. Even when they can finally afford one and set it up in the house , its paid by my tax dollars.
Colin is a straight shooting comedic sports genius who’s knowledge of sports ranges from the NBA all the way to WOMEN’S GOLF. Since you haven’t scored with a women in probably 5 years plus now I wouldn’t expect you to know what women’s golf even is but next time you attempt to bash ‘the herd’ , please enter it and then attempt to have more knowledge then he does.
It is why he is a successful NATIONALLY SYNDICATED radio host and you are probably Mommy’s gardener still living in her basement at the age of 32.
Have fun continuing to work on your John Kruk physique while Colin is being herd in homes all across the country.
He rules you and just about every other sports radio host from here to the prime meridian
I think Colin is a genius. And cudos for him telling it like it is. Europeans need to be slapped into their rightful place! Dependant upon American financing an pop culture to make their lives more fruitful!
i have never seen with a man crush on tom brady like colin….it’s sickening at times…good gawd…
Cowherd is a BIG fan of Bill Clinton so to call him a right winger is silly. Colin is an idiot. But he is NO right wing guy. He is a pathetic turd his politics are of no consequnce. Colin is paid to be ignorant and does not disapoint
clinton was a repubublican in drag. he instituted nafta,and repealed glass-steigal. if you don’t know the correlation betwen that and todays economic fiasco you’re an idiot or a republican which is pretty much the same thing. the democratic party is sold out to corporate ameica. get over the specious notion about any huge distinction between the two. and cowherd pays lip service to certain sell out’s like clinton. the day he starts talking about nader or chomsky,is the day,i’ll stop calling “cowturd”, a right winger. the dude works for espn which is the same co. as a abc/wabc. he is not going to anything about limbau,right? he might kid once in while,but he knows who butters his bread.
