ESPN dumps Cowherrd

[ArrowheadBlue]

ESPN and one of its top personalities, Colin Cowherd--who criticized gaming in a big way back in April--have parted ways. ESPN boss John Skipper announced the news today in a formal statement.

Heroes of the Storm competitive gaming tournament in April, Cowherd lashed out at gaming in general and said he would quit ESPN if he was asked to cover it.

"If ESPN ever forced me to cover that, or do play-by-play, I would quit."

"Somebody lock the basement door at mom's house, and don't let 'em out," he added, referencing the players. "I will quit this network if I am every asked to cover that."

Cowherd is the third high-profile ESPN personality to leave the company this year, following Bill Simmons and Keith Olbermann

Yes, it is true he's lost his show and is gone from ESPN. And I'm glad - the guy is so stuck on himself, he can't see straight, anymore. See link: http://www.cbsnews.com/news/espn-drops-colin-cowherd-after-remarks-about-dominicans/

They fired a guy who was leaving in a week anyway.

His interview with Jim Harbaugh was a "clunker" according to him (and it was all Harbaughs fault). Now his comments about baseball and the Dominican Republic are "maybe a little clunky" (but, it was all taken out of context). Doesn't matter if he was already slated to go to Fox1, he's gaining a reputation as the King of Clunk - not to mention just being an all around jerk.
