    I mean, Cowherd has stated that he believed Sean Taylor, an NFL player murdered in a robbery gone wrong, had his past bring this on him and that Redskins fans who mourned him were not "grown-ups". He stated about Taylor's turnaround: "Well yeah, just because you clean the rug doesn't mean you got everything out. Sometimes you've got stains, stuff so deep it never ever leaves," just casually insinuating gang ties (Taylor was black and iirc had a rough childhood).

    He also said that the US had such a significant number of baseball players from places like the Dominican Republic because the game was 'simple'. The dude is a white guy who has made his living stirring shit about sports for decades, he is most definitely a right wing chode.

      I remember he also said John Wall had character issues because his dad died.

    It really sucks how sports talk absorbs all these bitter dudes who care enough to devote their lives to sports but were never good enough to actually play and never had the insight to work for any team or even run a decent fan site.

    It's the exact same vibe as the chuds who never joined the military and still buy infidel patches off of amazon to go get geared up and protect the local arbys from antifa.

    I also want to see what's the one thing that Piss Limbaugh and Picasso have in common, but I can't be bothered to listen to a second of Cowherd.

      I just watched it, basically, it's a really contrived connection of Kobe's "legendary" work ethic to Rush Limbaugh's obsession with right wing radio and Picasso's obvious excellence as an artist. It's just work porn where he jizzes over how they all go above and beyond for their crafts. Of course, the one way they're actually alike is that they're all now in that big basketball court in the sky

    Cus the racist old man calling the NBA the "Thug Basketball Association" and accusing the uniforms portraying gang colours is like one of the most pivotal figures for the sport itself
