Colin Cowherd Just Asked Urban Meyer If He Knows Joe Burrow (Who Was An Ohio State QB For 3 Years) And Why He Didn't Go To Ohio State
Colin Cowherd is so stupid. And I swear this has nothing to do with the fact that he's the biggest Browns hater out there. That is professional football, and this is collegiate football. They're DIFFERENT, just ask Tim Tebow.
Anyways, I've always been enamored by the idea that many people who talk sports on TV, like Mike Greenberg and Mike Wilbon, openly admit to not watching live sporting events because they need to get up early. Their producers run them through what happened or they watch some condensed version to be able to talk about it. All the while, you have die hard fans that watch every second calling in to get the "expert opinions" of these guys. It's a crazy dynamic. Why does one person's opinion on sports matter more than someone eles's?
But one person who I've always thought was informed…..although oftentimes wrong…..was Colin Cowherd. He's talked to himself about sports for 3 hours a day for as long as I can remember. I would have to think that he has some knowledge of sports. But alas, today I found out he was a fraud.
"Did you know him? Do you have any connections to him?" Uhhh yeah, Colin. I recruited him and he played for me for 3 years until Dwayne Haskins beat him out.
Do not tell me that this is some sort of passive jab at Urban that he let a pretty good SEC quarterback leave his school. That is not what this is. Colin Cowherd had no clue that Joe Burrow was a Buckeye for three years. He doesn't say "Do you know him?" which I guess could be classified as a joke. He said "Did you know him?" like he may have heard about him during the recruiting process.
And don't that Colin Cowherd shouldn't have known this either! A QB battle between Dwayne Haskins, Tate Martell, and Joe Burrow is something that a common fan should know. And the fact that LSU's starting QB was a Buckeye is DEFINITELY something that an "expert" should know.
Shame on you, Colin Cowherd. All of your football opinions are now invalid!
**Shout out Urban for not telling Colin how stupid he is. Urban is so good on camera. And classy as always!
