Not sure how many of you got to hear Colin Cowheard's banter on the radio about Cincy but I did and it Pi$$ed me off. I had little respect for the man and just listened bc i enjoy ESPN overall but this guy is an idiot and will not get my support in the future. I normally am not an email guy, but i was so mad at some of his idiotic, stereotyping comments that i had to email ESPN and tell them what a piece of poopey he was. Sure it wont get do much but just wanted to hear everyone else's thoughts since it has been kinda slow around here.

WHO DEY.

• "What is it with Cincinnati? ... For how small a city it is, is it me or does Cincinnati have a disproportionate number of bottom-feeders and low-level gutterballs?"

• "Jerry Springer, Pete Rose, the Bengals, Bob Huggins, wild chick on an airplane, Larry Flynt ... They're not serial killers, they just have no class."

• "I mean, I live in a city that's essentially the same size, Hartford. We don't have half the problems, half the weirdos."

• "I mean, it's just boring. People get in trouble. It's just boring."

He proposes coming up with a new slogan for Cincinnati.

"Because the Queen City doesn't really sum up their dysfunction."

Cowherd said listeners submitted the following slogans:

• "Cincinnati: You're under arrest."

• "Cincinnati: We need more razor wire."

• "Cincinnati: We're what happens three hours after you eat at Taco Bell."

• "Cincinnati: Just like Vegas, without all the really great stuff."

• "Cincinnati: Step out of your car, please."

• "Cincinnati: 'Cuz losers need somewhere to live as well."

I don't live in Cincy, so I don't really have a dog in this fight, but I can't believe this guy is proud to live in Hartford. From what I've heard that is one of the worst, craphole places to live in the country. I work with a guy who went to UConn and he visibly shivers when I ask him about the place.

But this is also another example of "sports" DJ talkshow garbage -- he gets judged on the amount of response he gets. An email to the show telling him what an a-hole he is works in his favor. It shows that people are listening. He is trying to stir up response and the angrier the better. It just so happened that Cincy was his target today. Tomorrow, he'll talk about having played golf with OJ and what a great guy he is. Getting people to call and email is the coin of the realm for talkshows -- if they're pissed off, so much the better. Great radio, huh. :wacko: What's odd to me is how these guys get slotted in as "sports" show hosts when they hardly ever have anything interesting to say about sports.

I've lived in a few cities besides Cincy and it is pretty boring, so I can't argue about that. But it seems that Collin Coward err Cowherd has a hard on for Cincy, he's always talking s**t about the Bengals. The mayor should invite him to city, show him a good time, and leave him stranded in Over the Rhine.

Bingo..it's all about numbers, negative or positive responses don't really matter, just as long as people are responding his bosses will think he's doing a good job. The best way to deal with someone like that is too ignore them and boycott their show and their show's sponser, hit in wallet were it hurts.

I agree, and maybe Askew will run him over while trying to park.

You're not going to like this, but I found some others.

Cincinnati: A great city to drive through.

Cincinnati: Come for the Tractor Pulling. Stay for the Corn Hole.

Cincinnati: Because you've got to live somewhere.

Cincinnati: You can see the bright lights of Kentucky from here.

Cincinnati: Thirty years ago they filmed the opening 20 seconds of WKRP here.

Cincinnati: At least we're not Dayton.

Cincinnati: Because brown water builds character.

Cincinnati: A shining metropolis set amongst a sea of delicious corn.

Cincinnati: Carmen Electra moved away from here.

Cincinnati: Don't blame us. We voted for Bush.

I know we're not supposed to laugh at this stuff, but...

Cincinnati: Because brown water builds character.

That is funny, even though I never had brown water while I lived in Cincy.

I agree and in my email i said how people listen to sports radio for sports and not for "shock jock" or outlandish comments.

Of course, everyone is open to their own opinion and some of my own favorite sports commentators make outlandish comments but this was not like a Jim Rome session. I think Cownerd was attempting to go off on a rant like Romie but failed horribly.

I thought his comments were pretty fair. Cincinnati has pretty much become a s**thole. I left back when Roxanne Qualls was the mayor. That tells you all you need to know about Cincinnati-just look who gets elected year after year as mayor.

What's stupid is that he compares Cincinnati to Hartford which Cincinnati is almost two times the size of and then when he talks about all the bad stuff he names mostly sports figures. What professional sports team does Hartford have to compare Cincinnati with, I forgot they lost there only sports team the Whalers how pathetic? What College team that's in Hartford do we have to compare U.C. with? Last time I checked UCONN was not in Hartford, it's about the same distance away from Hartford as Miami University to Cincinnati. Hold on matter of fact have anybody ever heard of anybody out of Hartford good or bad, does anybody know that place really exist what are they famous for (the insurance capital are kidding me)? Let's compare the amount of out of state tourist Cincinnati gets to Hartford, compare the median incomes of a household in Cincinnati to Hartford. People love to bend things in their favor just to get a story, Hartford is a garbage town absolutely nothing to do there. JoePong we are glad you moved out of Cincinnati you helped remove some of the trash out of the city when you left , don't tell me you are a Republican sitting here complaing who gets elected Mayor. All big cities have their problems I just heard that Philadelphia went over 100 murders for the year in March. I live in the Washington D.C.- Baltimore Metro area I know what real s**t holes look like, some of these areas in D.C.- Baltimore would make Over the Rhine look like Hyde Park.

If he is going to talk crap about Cincy he should at least do his homework...cause there are serial killers from Cincy, Charles Manson. :lmao: Donald Harvey AKA "Angel of Death"

Lived here a long time and although the "city" or downtown is nothing but buildings and bums, the surrounds are quite nice. Besides, what about places like detroit, st louis and most of New jersey? Talk about human waste. And a middie being afraid of dayton? WTF? I would rather walk in a clan outfit through dayton than walk through middletown armed.

Afraid of Dayton and wondering about costumes to wear? Nope that wasn't the meaning of my post. Having to live there was the thought I was trying to convey.

Now as for Middletown, that is a sorry downtown, as I was there just last year. Will be again in a couple months. I got a kick out of the big sign of the local sheriff promising jail to employers who hire illegals.

Not like there are people downtown to see the sign. I wonder if they have a crime rate since no one lives downtown?

But Middletown is not exactly a metro area like Cincy or Dayton. Out here in the rolling hills of San Francisco bay where I live, I'm not tempted to leave but there are some nice places around Cincy I wouldn't mind living.

I guess he's never visited Dayton?

I don't live within 1000 miles of Ohio, but when I think back to growing up there, in Middletown, its Dayton that scares me. For all my sins, that is where I fear doing purgatory.

lol

I just don't see all the heaps of hate on Dayton.

I mean, it isn't the GREATEST place to live on earth, but I've been to a lot worse areas.

Put it this way: I'm not ashamed to say I'm from there.
