Colin Cowherd can go to hell! Read and comment! April 5, 2007

If you haven’t read about Collin Cowherd’s heinous act, click here. Anyway, Collin Cowherd told his listeners to unleash a DNS (Denial-of-service) attack on the sports blog, The Big Lead, for some unknown reason, perhaps to take the sports blogging community down a notch. This is a pretty low blow for a guy who has a pretty cushy job, a job a lot of us in the blogosphere would love to have.

As an aspiring writer who knows he never has a chance writing for a big-time company like ESPN, it makes me sick when these so-called experts become too smug for their own good. That great thing about the internet its ability to give Joe or Jane Schmo a voice in whatever interests them. When someone, like Cowherd, feels threatened by this new form of media, why can’t they just step up their game or admit they aren’t as good at what they do as they thought they were?

If you have any belief in what we as blog writers do, you should click here and give ESPN a piece of your mind. Cyberterrorism is wrong, even if you do it under the guise of a big time operation like ESPN.

If his telling the listeners was as direct as the article stated he isn’t any different than those that fill my email inbox with spam. I didn’t see a direct quote, just a description of what they said he said. I can say I didn’t hear it because I have not listened to the guy in over a year. when I did then it was because my options were limited.

It cracks me up when radio personalities slam bloggers and websites. Because they have jobs on the air or get paid does not make their thoughts anymore original than the average blogger. Is it that I do what I do for free that really bothers them?
