What is Cowherds beef with Pete?

[Sgt. Largent]

I am kind of figuring out Cowherd's deal (no pun intended). He likes to talk a lot about big market teams because they solicit the most viewership. Then he often likes to take a unpopular or an against the norm stance. He also likes to shun small market teams and media. He has some valid points about some things but what I don't like is when he tries to perpetually defend his position on something even though it was a dumb point to begin with. He's kind of a mixed bag for me.

Your take on Cowherd might work if he didn't grow up and go to school here.............AND still claims his favorite teams as most of our local teams.

well cowherd just put us as superbowl contenders and owned marcus allen on espn2. then went on to say the cowboys wont make the playoffs. instead going back to seattle. asked marcus allen if he would take romo over wilson. which caused allen to shut his mouth

Cowherd just did his top 10 and had us at #3, only behind the Giants and Pats. He does his based on how teams are playing right now vs record. He came right out and said he thinks we will run the table and win the division

Yea, he's being overly dramatic on this one. His beef with Carroll actually is that he feels Pete isn't as detail oriented as he needs to be to be successful in the NFL, which is evidenced by all our penalties. He actually did state that he's starting to be successful, and he's doing a good job up here.

Cowherd actually is pretty smart. He's a hard listen since when he finds a point he likes, he repeats it 15 times to pound it home, and keeps repeating it. He's got a total mancrush on Russell Wilson, and has been pushing Wilson for the last few weeks. Well before the Bears game to be honest.

He's also pretty football smart, whether you like him or not. He doesn't use a lot of emotion in his picks, since he is a bit of an egomaniac, and really likes to be right. Thinking with emotion isn't a good formula to be right a lot. (He's an admitted Seattle homer, but will still bash them when bad..actually one of the things I like about him). Cowherd is something like 49-15 ATS on his Blazing 5 picks this year. This beats any anaylist, sports pundit, and better yet, it beats all the sportsbooks in Vegas, AND all the professional gamblers out there.

He was on AM radio in Vegas at one point I do believe. If you ever get a chance ( I guess "I heart" radio is a good way now) listen to Las Vegas based AM sports radio. IT's easily the best in the country.

GREAT POINTS- makes sense, gonna have to check out some vegas sports radio.
thanx

I've been done with Cowherd for years. He misses the main point of just about every argument. Sure, he'll give some great points that you didn't think of, but when he fails to address the primary issue time and time again, you just start screaming at your radio that the guy has no idea what he's talking about. And then he hammers the point and hammers the point, the whole time missing the point. Aggravating. I used to like that he was one of the few out there that put original thought into sports, but I just couldn't handle it anymore.
