This is the story of a national radio host abusing his ability to reach a couple of million listeners, and doing so at the expense of a seemingly random victim. The two largest sports blog sites have already covered this, but I figure the more places we post this, the more people will see what a dick Cowherd is.
So here we go. On his radio show this morning, Cowherd decided it would be fun to randomly "blow up" a website each day, one that he found "annoying." He was doing this for no apparent reason, other than to prove that ESPN radio has a large audience, and that a percentage of that audience would do what he instructed. When choosing which site would be his first victim, it seemed like he simply solicited a site from one of his producers, and then gave it out on the air and instructed everyone to go there at once. The site is thebiglead.com (run by one of my fellow FanHouse contributors), and it experienced (and is still experiencing) significant down time as a result of this.
Now besides the obvious jokes about Cowherd's lack of size between his legs, the fact that he probably drives a red Camaro or a monster truck, and has a blonde wife with 44DD fake breasts, there is a little bit of a conspiracy theory emerging on how this happened. The Big Lead has been linked in Bill Simmons' column in the past, and that didn't crash his site, so why would a radio show giving out the site name to a bunch of people driving in their cars be able to have such a damaging effect on the servers?
UNLESS this was a radio bit that was planned ahead of time, with a full fledged DoS attack already set up to launch as soon as Cowherd mentioned the site's name. That would make much more sense on why the site crashed, and would be even more of a dick move than simply randomly "blowing up" a sports blog site. Here's the audio, listen for yourself and let us know if you think this was random, or something that was maliciously planned ahead of time. Oh, and fuck ESPN, I'm not linking to the audio, you can get it here.
i listen to cowherd all the time because i like sports talk, such as it is, and there isn't to many alternative to his other espn radio shows here except another sports talk station with a bunch of rambling airheads as well. and mudh as i dislike cowhered and disagree with him almost everytime, i still listen. what i'm etting at is if you don't like him, stop listening, or accept it, but if you do, and you are willing to act on something stupid he says like blow up a website, then its you the listener who is the problem. now if this was indeed a tech attack, and it could be traced and proven by finding the originating ip addresses, i believe cowhered and his staff violated some fcc rule, but i'm not sure, but that's why i doubt the it was that, but if it was, this should be investigated.

well if his ego maniacal shtick is an act , how does he get away with calling "HIS ', show the most "HONEST ', show in the hjistory of talk radio? you can't have it both ways , and if it's not an act and it's who he " HONESTLY ", is then he has more probelms than we think . huge ratings , great pay check , BUT a big LOSER , completely self absorbed , insensitive , and not particulary insightful , he actually just has the "NORMAL ", wisdon of a 44 year old guy , who reads ask men , and other internet GUY type blogs and then repeats them . "HONESTLY ", i beleive he doesn't do as much homework as he says he does , and if he does why is he constantly "REPEATING HIMSELF "??

After a few months listening to his show, I realized that Colin is just a mediocre commentator. I'm sure many people have realized that fact. I predict his show to be no more than two years on the air. Please, ESPN do something about it! I don't want the show before his to end, and I can't wait for the next after him to begin. Don't care anymore about his stupid personnal philosophyc stories. He only talks about NFL and MLB. Advising his audience to crash other people's websites is really stupid. I'm absolutely sure he did it in purpose. Sue him.

colin is the best talent on public accessible talk radio today, period. Dick, certainly. Funny and correct on most dick points of view...absolutely.
I spoke with him awhile last year at tx state fair, he confessed he used to do stand up comedy during college, which makes alot of sense to me.

I think crashing websites is hilarious. Except when it is yours or a colleague's. That being said, stop being a whiny bitch and f%$k with him. Prank call his show ala Howard Stern.

What Is VigRX Plus?
VigRX Plus™ is an herbal "male enhancement" supplement. Because it has not been approved by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the manufacturer cannot directly claim that the supplement treats any disease (including impotence). However, the advertisements for this product strongly suggest that VigRX Plus will:
Treat impotence
Enlarge the penis
Prevent premature ejaculation
Increase sex drive.
Although the Web site for this supplement states that it is a "doctor-approved formula," none of the "doctors" that endorse the product are actual medical doctors (one is a clinical psychologist and the other is a naturopath).

I dont believe in those penile growth scam pills out there, but after doing detail research I decided to try a testosterone booster to help increase the size. Again, after alot of research, I chose the Dr Max Powers "Testosterone Booster", for being the most healthy.
I have notcied some Length Gains like some others have and more importantly:
- I have noticed increasingly harder erections and that last much longer (giving my partner a much longer experience - and delaying me a bit to be a bit more explosive).
- It seems much easier to get an erection in no time
- It will deffinately change your sex life...in this ALONE I give it an excellent review.
- We will see in time if it actually makes a size difference - but for now - I love the results!!

Colin Cowherd is just another tall, pretty, Nazi white supremacist, little frat-boy Aryan cliquester from the Pacific Northwest.
Like every blue-eyed brat, he doesn't think he can ever be hurt, until somebody smashes him right in the fucking face right on camera, and he whimpers and sobs like the spoiled and pampered fop he really is.
