Mike Florio vs Colin Cowherd

[Mr. Scot]

PFT: An open invitation to Colin Cowherd

On Wednesday, ESPN Radio's Colin Cowherd called me out for suggesting that Browns coach Eric Mangini is lying or stupid for suggesting that he doesn't know that quarterback Brady Quinn will trigger nearly $11 million in future escalators by taking 70 percent of the snaps in 2009.

I've got a response to Cowherd, who was incredibly cocksure in his belief that I've lost my mind. (He may be right -- my position for now is that my take on Mangini isn't evidence of that possible reality.)

But instead of responding here, where I can do so without Cowherd having a chance to reply contemporaneously, I'm issuing him a friendly challenge.

Invite me on your show, Colin, and let's talk this one out. I might not change your mind, but it would be slightly more compelling than one guy at a microphone doing a premeditated stream-of-consciousness routine in 10-minute chunks.

If these two got together in the same place, the level of wind could rival Hurricane Katrina.

I heard Cowherd's reply to this on the drive to work. Weak. I think Florio would clean his clock.
