Colin Cowherd: Panthers will be most improved team in 2012

[Johnny Rockets]

Cowherd and Bayless are nothing alike.

Hate on his personality and delivery of info all you want but Cowherd is probably one of the most informed radio/tv personalities in all of sports and backs up any opinion he has with very good arguments. Is he all about ratings? Of course, that is his job and he is very good at it but that doesn't discount his knowledge and contacts he has in the sports world.

[SOJA]

Skip Bayless just argues the opposite point just to be that guy. Cowherd rarely brings up a point without some evidence.

You can like or not like whoever you want, but comparing those two is ludicrous

[carolinarolls]

I don't hate either of them. If I did I would say I would like to beat the shat out of them and not someone else.

Both of them are jerks and all jerks deserve at least one decent thrashing in their lives. I would just like to have it on my ipod is all.

this is true. they are very different and yet somehow equally deplorable.

[rayzor]

This. I love listening to The Herd. Way better than Jensen and light years better than Garcia. Guy makes my brain ache.

Except when it comes to the Cowboys. Boy oh boy is he delusional about the Cowboys.

He is delusional about Romo mostly....he knows it gets people fired up and that ratings meter goes to 11 when he does that stuff. That type of thing is just the entertainment piece of it and not to be taken all that serious.

I understand why some people hate him. He comes off as an arrogant, egomaniac, smart a$$ elitist but that is the radio personality that made him the giant he is today. The Howard Stern of sports talk radio so to speak. Just like Stern, if I don't initially agree with his opinion in the beginning of the topic, by the end of it I can understand and usually respect his point of view at least.

I will give Colin this, whether it is NBA, colllege hoops, NFL, college football, boxing, etc.....the guy is well informed and can talk about it all. Whether it's his contacts in Vegas, the coaching world, players, former players, etc. he leverages it all and knows his stuff.

I sound like a Cowherd blowhard but I actually am not and his schtick starting getting old to me. I prefer Dan Patrick over him all day long but I definitely respect what Herd does.

[Khaki Lackey]

I like Cowherd. He's right on most of the time and he admits it when he calls one wrong. (he openly admitted he whiffed on the cowboys this year...and Cam.) Everyone famous is going to have haters. I can see why The Golden Calf of Bristol lovers hate him, and I can see where Brady and Romo haters are going to dismiss his opinions. You can't please everyone when you're in the opinion business. He's nowhere near as bad as Bayless, though.

[Dpantherman]

Well I guess that means we'll suck again. fug!

[Johnny Rockets]

Cowherd is just among the first of many that will share this same opinion leading up to the 2012 season I am sure.

[Dpantherman]

He rode the Cowboys dick to the bricks this season, even before the season started. Part of it was because hes a Romo lover, and to his credit (Romo's not Colin's) he had a really good year. But the 'Boys didn't live up to the hype as usual.

[Dpantherman]

I'm just hoping the Falcons/Saints love continues, I don't want to be under the microscope.

[Johnny Rockets]

I don't think it will. Sure the Saints will be the favorite to win the South next year and rightfully so but the Panthers will be the "sexy pick" to unseat the Falcons and make a push for a wild card spot. There will be a lot of Panther talk leading up to the season so make room on the Camwagon....err I mean bandwagon.
