COWHERD: NOUS ACCUSONS!

Douchebag plagarist.

I’d already removed WWL radio from my XM presets in an earlier fit of indignation. I don’t think I’ve missed much. Now, one fewer pang of worry that I may miss some breaking news regarding Barry Bonds or Terrell Owens.

It. Is. On. Motherfucker.

I hear Ronnie Wilson will be free this spring/summer/fall. Perhaps EDSBS could recruit him to show Cowherd how it feels to be scared. That is, unless his ass is in jail.

The interwebs (specifically EDSBS) has this east Tennessee boy on it’s side. Your wish is my command…within reason.

He needs to be taken down. ASAP, bitches.

“Hello, my name is Colin Cowherd, and I have a very small penis.”

“Hiiiii, Colin.”

This is the first broadside in the long war between classic media (radio/television) and the internet blogosphere. What he did is just faggy.

If we, hypothetically, do things to someone, for example Cowherd, in the name of EDSBS, can we earn you guys Fulmer Cup points or is it simply for college football players?

I cannot think of a snarky remark … so fuck cowherd.

It occurs to me that intentionally inciting people to take down a website over the public airways could be some sort of a crime, or at least actionable by the operators of said website.

Nick—

We do not advocate actual violence towards Cowherd.

—Ed.

(Points? Maybe. —O.)

After his “tornado bait” comments, his blatent plagarism, his half baked analogies, his love of notre dame, and his all around unlistenable show, I am convinced Cowherd is actually Lou Holtz.

Having never run a website, it seems kinda cool that he can blow it up with just the sound of his voice. If i had that power, I’d have to play with it a little too.

I hate his guts like everyone else, just for who he is, not for what he did in this case.

If you want to fight the Coward, go see the boys from Ann Arbor – Benny and Yost. They know how it’s done.

Perhaps a unified blogosphere Cowherd photoshop day or caption contest or make your best Cowherd joke day? Something that a LONG list of blogs could unit in and unleash the force of the internets on. A unified volley of blogs aimed at bringing out the true dickbaggedness of Cowherd would be unstoppable. Cowherd could not attack 20 or 30 sites at once. Count The Nittany Line in should we come to such a conclusion.

No talent Cowherd could easily be replaced by someone with at least partial knowledge of sporting events. What a douche..

Why? There are a million reasons why someone at WWL/Cthulu would want to hurt that site…

Jason Whitlock publicity
Harold Reynolds stories
Sean Salisbury’s dick/anti-semitic stuff
and countless other “inside Bristol” scoops

There probably isn’t another website that goes after ESPN as hard (maybe Deadspin, but they’ve got some $$$ to have real bandwidth).

My guess is that it isn’t Cowherd, specifically, that The Big Lead has gone after. This attack comes from up high.

Give him the Peter King v. KSK treatment.

Put up a picture of his kids and family.

Someone can surely find his home address, telephone number and, even possible, his Social Security Number.

Just do it back to him and his producer. Chadd Scott is the one telling him how to act anyways.

http://www.chaddscott.com/index.html

Sign cowherd up for every wacko, weirdo, left-wing and right wing publication and catalog out there. The adovcate, the american spectator, NAMBLA, the DAR, the sierra club, home knitting supply catalogs, harry potter fan clubs, etc every thing to flood his inbox and mailbox with junk. Nuisance him to death. Untraceable and oh so aggravating.

We don’t need his phone number, what we need is his wife’s cell phone number…then just have one of our female readers call the number and tell the wife that she’s having an affair with the guy.

Ignore him. It’s like one of those bad sci-fi movies where the monster grows when you Nuke it. The more attention he gets, the better he looks to his bosses and advertisers.

Ignore him completely. Don’t mention his name. Ever. Again.

Tell your friends to stop listening to him. Call Finebaum, [fill in local talk radio host], etc., and get them to join in on completely ignoring him.

Just Ignore him until he effectively ceases to exist and he will go away. That’s how the market works.

We gotta take this bastard. Now we could do it with conventional weapons, but that could take years and cost millions of lives. No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody’s part.

This could be a lovely opportunity for a lawsuit. I hope.

cowherd is to assholes what Bill Gates is to net worth. The best way to do away with cowherd is to negatively affect his listenership. I don’t listen to him and I invite everyone to do the same. I don’t even listen to the local espn affiliate at all on the off chance I might accidently hear it.

I am with the ignoring plot, but then again, I guess I already do as the only reason I heard of this was coming to this site. Sadly, I used to like talk sport radio, but they have all become unsufferably myopic these days. They can’t see past their own opinion anymore. And that makes for an incredibly boring 2-3 hours. So I just turn it off once the local guys sign off.

One could hire one of those planes with a banner behind it to circle Bristol CT with a banner saying “Cowherd is a douche.” It doesn’t slow him down, but it’s juvenile enough to be satisfying.

All humorous ideas aside, ESPN has a venue for this kind of complaint, an ombudsperson. They just appointed a new one this week: http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/columns/story?columnist=schreiber_leanne&id=2826351

I know a lot of us come to this website to indulge our inner college student, even as I get the sense that there are a lot of professional and smart people here who actually gets Orson’s Sumeria references. Maybe we should put on our professional hats and all write emails to the ombudsperson complaining about this treatment. You know, emails without sarcasm and four letter words.

and if that doesn’t work, maybe we can get the Gamecock quarterback to key his car…

+Elevendy for #16. I don’t think enough people are considering that angle.

Man, I’d love to see him and Rome go at it like MAximus and Commodus. It’s like when you were a little kid and you goading one kitten with the other to see if they’d fight (except we won’t cry when they do).

Doing everything in my power to never listen to either one, I don’t know if there’s any background there between them to feed off, but surely a rumor could develop, a caller to their shows to feed the rumor’s legitimacy, and then wham!- Timmayyy and Jimmayyyy Cripple Fight!

This agression will not stand, man!

“We don’t need his phone number, what we need is his wife’s cell phone number…then just have one of our female readers call the number and tell the wife that she’s having an affair with the guy.”

Winner winner chickin dinner! I don’t know if that could be pulled off, but if it could be done convincingly, it would be a pretty good blow to the guy.

It’s not quite as good as the South Park where Cartman kills that kids parents and has them ground up into chili and fed to him because the kid sold him pubes for 20 bucks, but it’s pretty good.

So I shouldn’t say to come to EDSBS. You are a great website. I thought that would be a cool thing to do. My bad. Learn something new everyday on EDSBS.

Best one I ever heard was when I was a UF student. A fraternity received a delivery of donuts that said it was from one of the sororities. The next day the fraternity also received a package, this time with photos in it of donuts on the dicks of four guys…

Did Cowherd analogize this episode to working in an office or dating a stripper? Did he make a point about blogs? And then repeat it. for. a. half. hour?

Only douchebag FM shock-jocks tell their audience to go to some website. What’s next requests for emails to Miles Brandt demanding playoffs? Best sports movie shows?

I’ve never even heard of this guy.

Classic Response to fuck with people “Never heard of ’em.”

Oh where are you from, “Gary Indiana, sir” “Never heard of it”

I know the town isn’t right but its from The Dirty Dozen.

Yea I heard that donut story up at Georgia Tech as well.

Wife’s cell phone? That’s cruel. That’s wrong. That’s why I’m already working on it. After all, how many could there be named Kimberly Cowherd who live in West Hartford who have lived in Oregon and Vegas and are in roughly the right age to be his wife? (35ish).

I go to thebiglead.com regularly and don’t remember them slamming him.

His next attack better be Cincinnati.com because Cowherd was front page news there earlier today (he gave Cincy a…um…Cleveland Steamer in a segment on Wednesday).

#30-Nice varmint.

Pretty sure Kimberly is 36 years old currently.

Try the two phone numbers on this site:

http://www.forsalebyowner.com/print-listing.php?iListingID=20691742

Entry 27, I think that’s a good idea. Slandering Cowherd all over your blogs just gets him more hits. And we don’t want a daily running battle with Cowherd, where he tries to take down a different site every day, and then some crazy runs him over with a car or something, and blogs as a whole get a bad name because of one idiot. I don’t want to go there, either.

Geaux Irish-

I have never liked ND, but if those numbers actually work, I might have to change my mind.

You guys have threatened to kill him, wife, and children. Now you want to run him over. You think he might be reading this?

I aim to please. Those numbers are at least good thru July 2004, but they might be even more recent. My guess is that one of those is an old home #, while the other would be a cell.

I know nothing about computers, but I know a guy who knows a guy who will make Cowherd an offer he can’t refuse.

Wrecktum,

You might need to pull your head out of your, errr, rectum, and re-read #42, He’s warning against some nut doing that, not calling for it.

I don’t recall anyone threatening to kill his wife or kids either. (not going to re-read the whole thread to check for sure)

Master Splinter says," I too once had a family, Orson. Many years ago I lived on the West Coast: a pet of my master Tony Kornheiser, mimicking his movements from my cage and learning the mysterious art of degradation, for Tony Kornheiser was one of America’s finest shit stirrers. His only rival was a man named Jim Rome, and they competed in all things, but in nothing more fiercely than for the love of one person, Pete Carroll. Carroll’s love was only for my master and rather than see him fight Rome for his hand, he persuaded Yoshi to flee with me to Bristol. But Rome vowed vengeance. I remember it well, as my master returned home to find his beloved Carroll lying on the floor, and then he saw his killer. Rome wasted no words, and during the struggle, my cage was broken. I leapt to Rome’s face, biting and clawing, but he threw me to the floor and took one swipe with his Katana, slicing my ear. Then he was gone, and I was alone.

Maybe we can take up a collection to send him a case of Summer’s Eve. Or better yet, send it COD.

Well, given that The Big Lead is a real business (he runs ads), I’d say he’s got a pretty good claim that ESPN willfully interfered with his business.

This should get messy.

I’d never heard of him either, but if you want a response in kind to what he did, this is what I got:
- He takes callers, right? And responds to listener email? Flood his phoneline and email feedback with hang-ups and junk comments so he can’t actually reach his audience. He can still broadcast, but he’s cut off from any interactivity.

Got an idea

colin cowherd=[name retarded]

I dunno, Orson. I think this might be a job for Reggie Nelson.

That’s just fucking rude. Taking down somebody’s website just because you can is low rent.

I guess that means I’ll cancel my ESPN Ins- oh wait, I don’t subscribe to that shit.

Well, maybe I’ll take ESPN Radio off my XM pres- oh wait, I don’t have XM radio.

FUCK YOUR COUCH, SIR.

How bout this:

Who gives a flying fuck?

Thats it! this blog is next!
bow down! or you too will be condemned!

Uh… as far as I can see, the website is currently down for thebiglead.com. Anyone else having problems?

@baconboy #20: “We don’t need his phone number, what we need is his wife’s cell phone number…then just have one of our female readers call the number and tell the wife that she’s having an affair with the guy.”

While operationally simple, the approach is far too conventional.

I would try it this way: Have one of our female readers call up Coward’s wife and accuse the Coward of having an affair with her husband.

Here’s the audio, no ESPN Insider subscription required.
http://mgoboard.com/blogmedia/audio/cowherd-tbl.mp3

cowherd can go fuck himself.

the pot shots he takes at Cincinnati are totally unnecessary.

it takes a small man to do that, let me tell you.

I don’t know if we were the first, but in 2000 we did the donut at Birmingham-Southern College. We did various things to donuts, got a girl to sign a letter “from the Chi-O pledge class” to a certain fraternity. Next day, we went back and found empty donut box (they’d eaten them all) and then left 12 polaroids of donuts on dick, grundle, and asshole. It was classic, and we did it 2 years before Van WIlder came out

Is Coward really taking credit for inventing the Slashdot effect?

Seriously, is there anyone on national sports radio who isn’t a complete douchenozzle?

I dig the photoshop idea. Summon the Farkers!

It was so strange…I’ve NEVER listened to his show before, but I broke my iTrip in the car this morning and happened to surf by right as he was talking about his “goth” t-shirt that turned out to be Lucky Brand. What a horrorshow….I hope the Big Lead puts snakes in his car, and he never knows if he got them all out.

5 bedrooms, 3.1 baths, 1926 home, 2900 square feet.

His house assessment was static for four years then doubled in one year. What in the hell is going on in Connecticut? My best guess, is that the home was underassessed. Colin must have bought the thing in 2006 and that there is some sort of catch-up provision when owners change.

Dear Colin,
Get fucked

Dear Chadd,
Two quick comments for you.
1)The extra d is gay
2) We are betting that when the picture was taken of you on the streets of NYC, you felt good about your pose. http://www.chaddscott.com/pictures/

TBL is still down at 1:17 AM Pacific.

Fuck Cowturd right in the ear.

I assume I’m outside this site’s demographic since I’ve never heard of the Big Lead.

And did I just read a Mutant Ninja Turtle post? Yep, definitely outside the demo….

even money says “Wrecktum” is [Name Retarded] or one of his minions.

Always love to see impassioned comments from someone who I’ve never seen posted here.

Orson- can you check the posting history of “Wrecktum”, the e-mail address and the IP address from which the post was made?

#71, Wrecktum sounds like a Georgia Tech handle. They do trig and calculus OK, but have problems processing language. I didn’t see such a threat as he or she posted.

How much do you want to bet that Cowherd will now complain about how blogs are calling for violence towards him? On the basis of an email sent to him by Wrecktum?

The Ombudsman is a good idea except for the fact he got fired not long ago.

http://deadspin.com/sports/espn/how-can-we-live-in-a-sports-world-without-george-solomon-248060.php

So, ESPN is no longer in the business of caring. Not that they ever were, but I degress. So, that option’s out the window.

BTW, Awesome use of the TMNT reference up there, Mike P.

I read elsewhere that they have a new Ombuds(wo)man now.

I think MichiganZone had the link.

Anyone think about the echo affects of the cowherd comments. The site is still down, probably because people are checking to see if its back. Or does that not make good sense technically.

I think what Colin did can technically be considered a crime under (a)(7) of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, if not inducing others to commit crimes under the CFAA. This is in addition to any civil torts committed against thebiglead If some of the EDSBS legal crew could do a little research, it would be the best revenge to have him visited by the FBI and possibly spend 5 years in PMITA Prision

also he’d probably be subject to CT state anti-hacking laws and the state laws of wherever thebiglead is hosted

Well, I sent an email to the new ESPN Ombudsman and also to the FCC. Everyone should do the same.

Send in the Hounds Dept:

I am surprised that there has not been any uproar from sports columnists, or other broadcasters, regarding Cowherd’s anti-American act of surpressing free speech for the sole purpose of making himself look like a big piece of crap.

Somewhere out there, there is a writer dying on the vine for material. This would be a great column. The big jerk network radio Goliath guy taking on David.

Colin Coward is trying to be the Howard Stern of sports radio….what a joke…

DING DING DING!!!!! We have a winner!!!!! #48

That donut gag was in Van Wilder… and nobody’s killing nobody. This kind of stunt COULD actually cause some trouble with the Justice department, unfair business practices…

kim smith was also in van wilder. not that that has much to do with this discussion but do a google image search on her name and your day will get about 5,000 times better.

I wrote to Le Anne Schreiber today asking her to address this story, and tonight I received an e-mail, purportedly from her assistant Scott Goldstein, that included this information…

From Le Anne Schreiber: Rest assured, I will have something to say about the shutdown of thebiglead.com in my column next week.

This is disturbing…Colin Cowherd has enough listeners to overwhelm a site’s bandwith?

ESPN should be ashamed. And not shamed like the should be for focusing solely on sports-tainment rather than sports analysis. They should feel the kind of shame that comes from purposely kicking a homeless person. Cowherd shouldn’t be given the honor of resigning.

Tell Colin Cowherd, “I’m going to eat his family”.

I definately agree with #16, I think he probably got the hit from the ESPN execs who just wanted to do something to get back at The Big Lead for uncovering all their dirt. And Cowherd is the least respected and biggest douche of all their radio hosts and probably eagerly jumped on board to do it.

Pretty childish by ESPN.

I’d take it as giving the site free advertising. Now thousands of people know your website now that didn’t before. I’m one of them- Let him be- He’s the best sports talk radio host on the planet!

I agree with #87. i’d never heard of your site before, now i’ll visit it and start reading. He gave your site more publicity in 90 seconds than you could generate in 9 years. leave him be.

So was it a DDOS attack or just too many hits? He may not have explicitly asked for the site to be attacked, but it’s still pretty lame… never liked his radio show anyway.

#87…. Mrs. Cowherd, is that you?

Uhhhh, it was free fricken advertising. Honestly, you should be thanking Cowherd. However, he is a douche. I definately have to agree there.

That the suits in Bristol basically ran Tony Kornheiser off their air (radio is by far his best medium) to replace him with that no-talent assclown ranks as one of the most inexplicably stupid decisions in the history of American business.

This is so funny and yet… so sad. You’re bloggers, NOT journalists. It was a fun little joke, a stunt. Shit happens, get over it and get over yourselves. Try going outside, putting down the keyboard, doing someting that doesn’t involve computers… maybe you’ll get laid… naw, never happen LOL

MG pretty much nailed it…you guys are pathetic… you write on blogs… that’s awesome, congratulations

And you listen to Colin Cowherd.

Tied one all, baby!

1. - Shouldn’t being a Cowherd fan count as a double negative? Since Cowherd is paid to be a douche…whereas people who listen do it for free.

this shit is hilarious. this radio dork knocked a site out? haaaaaaaaahahahaha come on, thats funny. you got owned, dont be sour-pusses.

i bet you all even feel a sense of comradery to these blogs.. that makes it even funnier. bloggers unite!!

“it is on”. i’ll total-ee fry yo’ server mayne, nobody be messin wit’ EBSDELDwhateverthisblogiscalled.. nobody! we bloggin gangstas, homie!

to quote the hippity hop community.. you got served.

1. and 94 – If blogging is so pathetic, then what does that make you for reading blogs?

I know this is old, but you people are all pathetic losers!!!!!!!!
