Shades of Stephen A talking about Hunter Henry playing in a game when he had been on IR for months
Breaking: These guys are all clueless
Some are more clueless than others, I think the big issue is we expect to much out of media covering all sports
They cover multiple sports, each sport having 30+ teams, they cover individual sports like tennis, golf, etc...and we expect them to know as much about every team as we do about the teams we follow.
They are sports fans with general knowledge, once we realize they don't know more than us unless they are breaking a story, we will accept them for the mere talking heads they are.
I don't know, there's an outline to the show. No reason these professionals can't do a little background research, and have some bullet points prepared. I might not even watch football, but I could put together a few coherent statements on the Seattle Seahawks, and their personnel just by doing a quick google search.
But they wouldn't know a teams past roster or where every football player went to school which is what they were making fun of in this case.
Sure you could put things together, but you don't have intimate knowledge per say of the OSU past players each and everyone. Correct the guy and if he apologizes, move on. We make mountains out of mole hills allot of time when it comes to media.
And at the end of the day, their real job is to sell advertising, so click bait and all that other bullshit is their job, not something to complain about.
Any chance he was being sarcastic and the joke was missed?My only thing is these guys are paid to talk sports. If you know urban is coming on and you're gonna talk about joe burrow (or any other player, team, etc) you would think they or an intern would do a quick google search for talking points.

I know what you are saying, and i didnt listen nor do i care enough to listen, but i still think you are expecting a bit too much. They do some research, but between being on air, traveling allot and having to watch a ton of sports and speak to a ton of people behind the scenes to try and get scoops or keep up, they dont have as much time as you think. There are 110+ Division 1 schools, i get OSU is one of the top football schools, but what about a guy like me that gets pissed if he doesnt know Purdue enough like Rondale More or any of our other 3 freshman 4/5 star wideouts?
I mean you act like they dont interview people on a dally basis, its tough.

Colin Cowherd is a fucking idiot. He has such a hard on for Baker and the Browns it is not even funny.
