I thought the 4th hour was only aired in and around Seattle.

I heard it, too. The guy just doesn't know when to let go, does he? BTW, he's gonna be on OTL today; 3 or 3:30 EDT, I think.

shrutebag forgot one more thing. The entire sports blogging community is after him!

mookie- that's ok with him; he thinks we're all mouth-breathing window lickers anyway.

How would you like to wake up in the morning and have a blog attack you?

You tell us, dicktard.

Oops, might want to open that in a new window.

much as i hate cowturd, he had a good comeback:

simmons blasted cowturd for being wrong when simmons was wrong with his slam. whoops.

i dunno, the allure of simmons is lost on me. i think he's a three-note lounge act in a roadside ramada. he "writes," if that's what you call it, about three subjects: nba, gambling and boston sports.

and i actually don't think he writes. i think he rambles into a digital recorder and has a voice recognition software translate his ramblings into text. his "writing" is little more than an ADD teenager on a mountain dew buzz running off at the mouth.

richard deitsch of sports illustrated had the best slam of simmons i have read, far better than cowturd.

simmons is one of the main reasons i quit going to espn.com years ago. he's shrutebag with a keyboard if you ask me. maybe worse.

Bill Simmons is faulty in many ways, but you cannot dick around with him on the NBA, because that's the one sport he spends serious time on, and if it's an argument between him and Cowherd, I will presume Simmons is the one with the facts until proven otherwise.

I have to admit, I was a big fan of Colon's when he was here in Portland. His show was much different, he wasn't so much of a know-it-all. I heard him today knocking Simmons. I like Simmons' writing, but sometimes he spends too much time on the celtics.

But Colon went over the line today, and I think he owes simmons an apology. Of course that will never happen, but colon was way outta line today.

Why do you guys call him "shrutebag?"

hey schrute bag, u suck. that is all.

ross- AA and others can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it goes back to the day he managed to get The Big Lead shut down.

STN is exactly right - Simmons does some obnoxious things but bottom line is that he knows his sh*t when it comes to the NBA.

The thing is, if you're going to be smug, then be smugly prepared. And just because you mess up, which Cowherd did here, doesn't mean that you can't just say, he's right, I'm wrong, I apologize.

Anyway, Cowherd's retort was a joke though, because all he did was bring up a pile of meaningless semantics about break numbers and length of show that Simmons flipped around--that's a typo, not "failing to do research."

We all know Simmons spends too much time on the Celtics and Red Sox, but whatever, it's always been that way and I wouldn't expect it to change. I generally just skip those columns, as I don't care.

But like S2N said, you simply cannot fuck with his NBA knowledge. When he says he could do a better job than 75% of the GM's, he's right. I'd take him for Philly in a heartbeat.

(Seriously, someone please help the Sixers.)

Cowherd is all about baseless arrogance and trying to latch onto bigger names for increased visibility. Unfortunately for him (and ESPN Radio), he's a know-nothing douche with a bad radio show.

I listen to Cowherd on occasion, and he is an arrogant jerkoff. His 4th hour shouldn't count because he repeats the same things in the next hour anyway. He rarely has anything to say, so he keeps repeating the same ridiculous crap over and over. One of his 15 minute rants can basically be boiled down to about 4 or 5 sentences. He is a perfect example of why two hosts are better than one. When he has guests on, he is infinitely better. He doesn't stand much of a chance in a war of words with Simmons. Simmons actually backs up some of his ideas with facts, which is something Cowherd really can't be bothered with.

another example of how terrible cowherd is , specifically as to the nba. this morning, cowherd was ripping durant for failing to bench 185 pounds, and saying that he’ll get pushed around in the league. immediately thereafter, he had jay bilas on to discuss oden v. durant. bilas basically told cowherd he was wrong re durant, and asked cowherd who he would compare durant to in the league. cowherd responds: “andrew mcdyess.” bilas: “I’ve never heard of any player named andrew mcdyess, I assume you’re referring to antonio mcdyess.” bilas went on to correct cowherd and let him know that durant compares more to garnet et al. anyway, cowherd obviously knows nothing about basketball. no one with any knowledge would compare durant to mcdyess. their games are completely different, whether you’re referring to old or new mcdyess.

Seriously, is there anything we the blogging community can do to get this ass off the air??? Or at least suspended or something. I've completely given up on his shit show and now listen to Rome over my lunch break who is infinitely better and doesn't talk down to his callers and listeners.

Simmons fucking rules and I hate say that even though I hate everything about Boston.

no because that would require espn regarding the existence of an underground whcih they refuse to do.

but im completely with g-money on this, perhaps it is a teenager thing but i like simmons.

It's actually sad how far Colin had to reach to make fun of Simmons. 4 hours instead of 3? What a clown

Rome on one show, and Cowherd on another, that's a bifecta (if that's a word) from hell.

Thanks for biting the bullet and listening to the show... Cowherd is a joke at this point.

he's right, nobody cares about the celtics.
