Talk:The Herd with Colin Cowherd

message: Colin, or Colin's production team:
I have watched and listened to you for years--ever since you were on ESPN. Recently (probably because it was the Holiday time) you have had several guests on where you gave them 20+ minutes of interview time. They were some of your best shows ever. The narrator/producer of the Madden special followed up several days later with your boss, were obvious choices, but even the on site discussion with Joel Klatt re the bowl and CFP games was longer and more entertaining. Don't think that less of you and more of the guest is a better show; more of the "right" guest gives you more opportunity to interact and show your sports insight. I am 75 y.o., so it is hard to remember every guest's name, but Nick, Trent, Albert, and the NFL film guru are several that I would like to hear more from. Also, I would love to have Herbstreit on your show for 20 minutes.

message: I'm curious why the section about plagiarism and WWE controversy was removed?  It seems like, an instance of him using without credit other people's material should be included in an encyclopedia article.

message: I am removing the following because it is trivial, unencyclopedic, and original research:
Red Sox and Alabama Homers are regular targets of Collins rants. "Outside of the South, nobody cares about Alabama football. Recola...ridiculous..."
--Dystopos 17:07, 13 December 2010(UTC)
I am re-posting the following because it is a direct quote from the show and accurately demonstrates the style of program.  The only reason Dystopos wants this text deleted is because he is obviously one of the "homers" that are being discussed by the show and now has a personal vendetta against anyone who reposts this information.  Dystopos is welcome to add other quotes from the show. 
"Red Sox and Alabama Homers are regular targets of Collins rants. "Outside of the South, nobody cares about Alabama football. Recola...ridiculous..."  —Preceding unsigned comment added by STS01 (talk • contribs) 
* You have no call to judge my intentions. I have no vendetta and I have no beef with Mr Cowherd or his detractors. The disputed remark is not just "a quote from the show", it is an unsupported claim about the overall tenor of the show. Even if it were true (which I doubt), the claim reflects an editorial POV more than it adds to the article. --Dystopos 18:40, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Just to throw my two cents in here: I'm from Syracuse, NY, nowhere near Alabama and I am definitely not an Alabama fan.  I listen to the Herd regularly and I agree that he rips on Bama  and Sox fans regularly and that perhaps that information is relevant here.  However, I don't feel that the quote "Outside of the South, nobody cares about Alabama football. Recola...ridiculous..." belongs in an encyclopedia article. Darry2385 21:50, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Disputed text

message: To STS01 who seems to have made himself the "king" of this article. I appreciate that you are trying to be "funny" by not crediting the blogs which Cowherd has stolen material from, but this is not a time to be a thoughtless homer and blindly follow the host's poor decision making.

replies: text: I'm going to be entirely blunt here (a character flaw of mine, I know). Your early behaviour wasn't great, either, but you did try to defuse it later on. Thank you. SirFozzie 19:49, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Controversy

message: First of all, I would request that both sides not only WP:AGF of each other, but also practice it towards each other. It does no one any good to do character assassination toward each other. I have added additional information to the controversy section, as well as properly formatting some sections of the article. With the Ombudsman at ESPN.COM commenting on the stunt that Colin Cowherd did towards TheBigLead, the article can be sourced properly. Let's continue to improve the article. There's being WP:BOLD, but if you are reverted, rather then warning each other and getting into an edit war, take it here to the talk page, and work out a compromise, ok? It's on my watchlist, and if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to leave me a message on my talk page or here on the article's talk page. Thanks! SirFozzie 08:27, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you.  The article reads much better now. Darry2385 03:14, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Ok, folks, let's take a step back

message: I don't understand why the link, or the title all together, keeps getting deleted. The only reason I can think is because fans of Cowherd keep deleting it because they think it is funny. Zzz345zzZ 06:44, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:The herd.gif

message: Hey, to the folks who want to add a section on Sean Taylor's death, and Colin Cowherd's comments regarding his death (and life), before the section gets added, please find a Reliable Source to support the section. Thanks. SirFozzie (talk) 16:24, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: The section on [[Sean Taylor]]

message: Colin refuses to acknowledge the Sacramento Kings even though they beat his beloved Lakers every game this season. Also refuses to acknowledge Fox and Sabonis. Hopefully the Kings will beat one of his loves, and he will be forced to mention them in the play-offs. 67.181.5.55 (talk) 18:39, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
