DID COWHERD STEAL MZONE MATERIAL?

by Orson on Mar 23, 2006 10:15 AM EST

Yost at MZone is bleeding from his ears in anger at Colin Cowherd of ESPN, who just may have given him the best free pub he could ever get by reading whole chunks of Yost's Vince Young Wonderlic piece on the radio without crediting MZone for the gags.

Is Colin Cowherd the Milton Berle of talk radio? By this, we refer to Berle's notoriety in the comedy world as a first-rate joke thief, and not to Uncle Milty's legendarily enormous, block-out-the-sun penis. In a spasm of journalism, we emailed Cowherd to get a response, and will post it ASAP when and if we get one.

If not, cue Pajamas Media-style blogger hysterics.

Milton Berle, bit-biter, showing everyone the tale of the tape.

I can’t believe I’m even daring to say/post this but was there ever any sort of confirmation of the Milton/John Holmes thing? Or is that just one of those Mr. Rogers assassin urban legends.

Elaborate—unsure what you mean.

I’m shocked — shocked! — to learn that Colin Cowherd doesn’t have an original bone in his body.

At least for now, you can still get Kornheiser’s radio show on streaming audio from Sportstalk980.com. He’ll probably check out of that sometime before Monday Night Football starts this fall.

P.S. How do I get a rumor started about my penis blocking out something…anything?

I was wondering the same thing. My curiousity caused me to submit that question to Snopes.com, so perhaps they’ll have some information up on their site soon.

Darn, and just as I was hoping to appropriate the epithet “picklewipe” from Tressel’s World, too. Well, I can’t do it now, with everyone on high plagiarism alert due to Cowherd. Thanks a heap, picklewipe!

There’s the old Hollywood story about Uncle Miltie’s ginormous manhood being thought to be even larger than F-Troop’s Forrest Tucker’s thang. The story goes that Bob Hope and others were in a country club lockerroom and got both Uncle Miltie and Forrest Tucker together to settle the matter once and for all. After the “revealing” of the Tucker beast, Bob Hope reportedly stated, “okay Miltie, only take out enough to win.”

I’m just sayin’………………

Just want to thank you and all the EDSBS readers. This site – and you guys – rock!

P.S. Do I have to thank Stranko, too?

No sweat. And yes, by all means, thank Stranko.

I hope not to see any photographic evidence, but there is a story in “Live From New York” (good book by the way if you even remotely have fond memories of SNL before the wretch that is Jimmy Fallon the giggly bitch) when Miltie hosted SNL and one of the writers tells of how he went to talk to him and he asked him if he wanted to see his anaconda, and Gilda Radner walked in on him staring at his trouser snake. Funny stuff.
