Reason #15,187 I never listen to sports talk radio
posted in Random |Big Al first brought this to my attention last night, but ESPN “personality” Colin Cowherd decided to, oh, what the heck, why not?, blow up a sports website. He didn’t pick Deadspin or With Leather, and their myriad fans and bigtime backing. No, he decided to pick on The Big Lead, which brings us great sports information and recently a nice interview with Curtis Granderson. It’s been down for over 24 hours now. Why did he do it? Who knows. But maybe he has a thing against the blogosphere after he stole from The M Zone and got attacked by the blogosphere for it.
Deadspin has feedback from the author of the blog.
I fail to understand the point in most sports talk radio anyway. There are some decent programs out there. (ESPN’s Mike and Mike seems to be OK when I hear it). But there’s a lot of outright garbage ESPN Radio puts on otherwise. And then you get to local sports talk radio? Again, most is awful. There are the hosts who bring you interviews with beat writers, management or athletes. But otherwise, I find the whole thing to be tedious and just cherry-pick the highlights.
Anyway, I just had to weight in what a crappy thing Cowherd did to a good web site. I never listened to him before, and I certainly won’t now. I hope this backfires on him and costs him his job and possible legal action.
Oh, and Big Al has an update on his feelings in a post today.
