Earlier today, I called out ESPN Radio’s Colin Cowherd for calling me out on Wednesday for claiming that Browns coach Eric Mangini is lying or incompetent for suggesting that he doesn’t know that quarterback Brady Quinn would have triggered $10.9 million in future escalators if he had taken 70 percent of the snaps this year.
During the Thursday edition of his show, Cowherd read my post verbatim (the irony is delicious, like pan-fried leftover pizza). He also said some kind things about this operation, noting that the the site “is a good one” and that yours truly has “a lot of contacts.”
The problem arose because Colin interpreted the original point broadly. And he’s right as to the reality that football coaches don’t know the details of the incentives for most player contracts. As Peter King pointed out in a subsequent spot on the show, the micromanaging Mangini’s suggestion that he doesn’t know about Quinn’s big-money payments tied to playing time is “shocking.”
So, basically, Cowherd and I found common ground, and it happened without yours truly appearing on his show. Based on what he said today, the friendly challenge is dropped.
Peace in our time. Huzzah!
Cowherd is the man!!! His originality and common sense stands apart from all the rest of the phony posers over there at ESPN…
stop turning into ESPN. You should not be the story.
Just be glad he didn’t go all “Big Lead” on your ass Florio haha
So you’ll be blowin each other again?
no one cares.
you are both p_ssies
you should have contined to trade insults behind your website and radio show
It would have been better if he acted like Channing Crowder towards u…..Colin is awesome!
I really wanted to see the 2 midgets who never could play football fight it out over someting regarding football.
You girls need to settle down. You’re both pretty.
Colin Cowherd is a tremendous talk show host. This is a tremendous website. Glad to see you both are on the same page–i hate breakups.
Maybe you can lobby Channing Crowder to bury the hatchet, too. No, I don’t mean literally, you know.
Come on. We wanted a knock-down, drag out kinda brawl. I guess it would be like watching 2 women fight. They fight all day and nobody gets hurt.
Flo, I heard Colin called you a whimp. I’m not trying to get involved or even stir things up, but if he had said that about me or my family the way he did about yours, I’d have killed him ON THE AIR.
It ain’t over yet. Get him Flo.
Two douche bags kissing and making up. Warms the heart.
I’m glad defending your legitimacy is counted as Pro Football news.
Way to keep focus.
Next time do us all a favor and bury the hatchet in that hack’s temple.
Cowherd is a dick anyway.
Cowherd, Skip Bayless, Jim Rome … these guys get paid huge money because they are complete jackasses — or at least play complete jackasses on TV. Their recipe to attract viewers has two ingredients:
1) Often say things that are maddeningly stupid. Typically this is done by greatly exaggerating something or greatly underestimating something (team, player, feat, etc.).
2) Act over-the-top cocky and arrogant and obnoxious that your ludicrous opinion is indisputable fact.
Our long national nightmare is over.
pan-fried leftover pizza sounds really good…
What does this even matter? Maybe it’s just me, but it really doesn’t seem all that important if Cowherd agrees with your opinion.
Thank God! Now I will be able to sleep tonight knowing the two biggest low lifes around don’t hate each other.
Thanks for sharing!
I want to know more about this pan fried reheated pizza you and cowheard are small time but pizza everyone knows about pizza.
Cowherd is a retard. Any coach with even half of the personnel authority for his team knows the incentives for his first round picks, especially if they’re a QB.
You shouldn’t let him off so easily, Mike.
Cowhurd, much as I loathe his broad generalizations and over-simplifications about groups of people based on his economic/political philosophies, was right on this to an extent.
It’s ridiculous to think that the Browns were going to pull the plug on their franchise QB after 2 games surrounded by an atrocious team out of fear of triggering an escalator. 70% of the snaps equates to a whole lot more football than what he played. Now, if they pull him as the starter in week 13 or something when he’s actually approaching that number of snaps then you might have a point.
let us all now lament the catfight that almost, but never was. me-ow!
So, have you wiped your chin off yet?
I suggest Channing Crowder buries the hatchet by writing a post on this site.
Cowherd is the only person I can think of who still drinks Zima.
Grab a beer you friggen P*ssy
cowherd’s a moron. end of story.
Cowterd is an ass haberdashery. Full of ass hats.
Worst radio host period. I would rather listen to Michelle and Michelle and that’s saying a lot. Actually I would rather listen to the local radio guys but can’t because dickhead radio station directors buy what the WalMart of sports talk radio is selling. And it’s poop! You want some poop?
Actually a deathmatch between Cowherd and Skip Bayless is about the only reason I would tune into either of those fags.
Thank God, my stomach has been in knots all day worrying about this one…
i guess your trying to bang Ms. Beagle too
“Bear $hits in woods”
Now that’s a story.
when does battle of the pu**ies II take place?
i was hoping that you would use the word “cocksure”
you’re a narcissist
Its funny to read these posts about Cowherd being a douche, or an ass, or whatever people wanna call him. They seem to forget that when they do so, its in comparison to you Florio. And in comparison, Cowherd is nowhere near the douche you have made yourself into. You made yourself the story here, FlorioTalk.NBCSports.Com. ; Bang it here for the daily Douche Display
Okay, Florio!!!
Now give your love Colin a sweet kiss!!!
Ahhh, wittle Mikey has a new bff. Thats so lol.
I miss the days when this was a useful website. Thanks for wasting everyones time jerk off
You both have something on your noses.
Nobody cares.
Next to kiss and make up…….
Iran and Israel!
Isn’t he the douchebag that caused PFT to crash a few years ago by telling his listeners to flood the site?
Florio and Cowturd. Match made in heaven.
Florio, you shouldn’t appear on “Analogy Radio” anyway.
You’re better than that.
Colin always talks about how most of his listening fan base are sophisticated sports fans, with perspective. Yet he talks down to his audience, offering repetitive and off base analogies, as if his audience is a bunch of 10 year olds.
Stay away Florio. Stay away.
Cowherds radio show is great if you like being yelled at and talked down to for three hours.
Guy is a complete tool.
Great drinking game.
Listen to Cowherds show and take a shot everytime he mentions Tom Brady, Kobe Bryant, his divorce or USC football.
You’ll be loaded after the first 15 minutes of every show, guaranteed!
Colin Cowherd Sucks as a sports radio host; sucks! The only reason i’ll tune in to listen to him anymore, which is rare, is because the local sports guys here suck even worse than he does.
I think what drives me so crazy about him, beside the fact that he’s obnoxious and arrogant, is that he can’t come up with enough material for a full show, which is why he has to repeat each and every point he makes at least 3 times.
I long for the day when the finally pull the cord on his lame ass show, and replace him!
Who the f is Colin Cowherd? Now I think of it, who the f is Mike Florio?
I heard a little bit of his show this morning, and it sounded to me like he wasn’t real familiar with Mr. Florio. “Works for NBC.com, or NBC bought his site, something like that?”
So now you’ll have another “friend”, “good friend”, “old frield”, “pal”, “old pal” in Cowherd? Start appearing on his show perhaps? I miss the days when you hated on everyone like Eskin et. al. But like some here and unlike many, I think Colin is one of the best IMO. Totally not an ESPN drone.
Florio must feel like the High School bully who stole a third graders lunch money and then bought a beer with it.
what are you saying…no cage match?
Now maybe you can go beat up Jim Rome like Jim–check that!–Chris Everett did.
he’s soft w that wimpy response, and after that pathetic G-rated half truce, you’re softer.
Damn, and I was so looking forward to the cage match!
Florio run BarterTown
