Cowherd is such a jealous egomaniac. It is so transparent that he would kill to do what Olbermann does.

A late night talk show host? WTF? Is he retarded?

Oh man K.O. on the 'Big Show' with Dan Patrick today was a TKO! I like Colin but this didn't make any sense. Maybe he forgot that KO worked with ESPN and Dan patrick earlier.

Oh, little Buckaroo Colin is just, well, foaming at the mouth because somebody else got a better gig. and that KO can actually, you know, spell. And think.

The anti-intellectualism would be astounding if it weren't so commonplace. Olbermann is too "intellectual" to connect to football fans? Is Cowherd for real? Why is being smart bad?

Oh, and Cowherd saying of Joe Buck, "He speaks to me," is pretty much the most classic thing I've ever heard.

Putting Cowherds idiotic comments aside...

Why would NBC hire KO? Don't they already have 100 studio people for the Sunday Night pregame show.

Loved Olbermann's response about this on today's Dan Patrick Show. "What's this guy's name again? And he has a show? On the radio?"

Well, K.O.'s got a good sense of humor, Brett, and he was great at keeping things light on ESPN back in the day. He's also got a lot of experience hosting a highlight show, and as much as I love Costas, I don't find him terribly inspiring on Football Night in America. I'd much rather see him in a booth than on a highlight show.

NBC probably added him in part to promote Countdown, his MSNBC news program, as well - it certainly couldn't hurt the ratings for the latter.

Well there are alot of people on the NBC show but the quality would seem unmatched right? ESPN has alot of people but they are all shills. Keith has never been afraid to say any thing, not has Chris and I think their back and forth will be fun to watch, also Bob is the gold standard, and there is Peter King who I would take over ANY of the reporters at ESPN. Really seems like a great move guys.

NBC is just trying to cross-promote the NBC and MSNBC platform. Olbermann is MSNBC's top-rated primetime show and they want it to continue growing.

But, more importantly, is Cowherd (by saying) Olbermann is too intellectual and doesn't connect to the NFL audience, also saying that Costas and Collingsworth are morons and are lower than KO?

Last I checked, Costas and CC have numerous Emmy's amongst them.

Really put his foot in mouth this time.

joe buck can speak to colin cowherd as much as he wants. that means joe buck wont be speaking to me. and that would be sweet.

tecmo bowl just expressed my inermost desire. Perhaps we could get a channel with joe buck and colin cowherd and billy packer and then no one oculd order it and they would go away.

"COW" "HEARD" SAYS IT ALL

Am I the only one who doesn't like Cowherd or Olbermann?

I wish both of those morons would be locked in a room with six angry pitbulls that have just been in a pitbull cage match with each other. Not quite dead, but bloody and pissed off.

And put Dan Patrick in there as well.

Totally agree with anonymous. However, I like listening to DP.

Olberman has a lot of room to talk... he has an audience of 11 people for his MSNBC show. He's failed at everthing he's done since he left ESPN, and needed his ol' buddy Dan to make him relevant again.

I compare KO to Dave Matthews Band.

Used to be good, has sucked ever since leaving ESPN/dropping Steve Lillywhite.

And I used to love them both and would happily give each a chance to not suck from now on.

It's not like Olbermann will be talking politics during football highlights. He didn't during Sportscenter.

And again, Schurtebag is just evil

Olbermann is a chump, he will fit right in on what is the worst football show I have ever seen. Nothing like a bunch of sissies siting around in their comfortable leather chairs zapping each other with little gag items to while away the evening. Bettis should be kept out of the hall of fame for being on that crew.

I can see Costas now, thinking he's now got an intellectual equal that he can go out on one of those long-winded Bob Costas free associations.

He'll spend the show trying to hit on Olderman...

Two total idiots...

Bring back Sharpe.

I don't care for either one, but Keith really had the opportunity here to take the high road and establish some goodwill and didn't. Keith's more established than Colin anyway (at this point). Why would he respond in the manner he did if "that guy" is so insignifcant to him? Again, this type of behavior by Olbermann is why he's had 43 jobs (that's called sarcasm before anyone interprets it another way from where he gets fired on a routine basis - it's just shocking that MSNBC keeps him on while O'Reiley keeps beating his brains in w/ ratings) over the last 15 years or so. I'm just disappointed that Keith couldn't act like a grown-up when somebody expressed their opinions on his hiring.

What a hoot - KO knows exactly who Cowherd is. Someone needs to gouge KO eyes out with an ice pick. God I hate that A-Hole. Also poster above is right, O'Reilly is kicking KO ass in the ratings war.
