Amanda (1:06 PM)
Hey guys...Colin is just finishing a few things up. He'll be here in a second.
Neil (Buffalo)
Will the Bills make the playoffs?
Colin Cowherd (1:09 PM)
Chances have increased significantly after this weekend.
Mike (Syracuse)
Hey what's your favorite U.S city?
Colin Cowherd (1:09 PM)
This week Los Angeles...there are too many cities to name. It's just like my favorite catch in baseball. The last one I see is my favorite.
Dan (Philadelphi)
Eagles... Super Bowl?
Colin Cowherd (1:10 PM)
Way too early to even worry about that. Worry about the regular season.
Scott (Chicago)
What happened to west virginia?
Colin Cowherd (1:10 PM)
It's called Bill Stewart...you hired him as a head coach.
Eric (Milwaukee)
Favorite athlete of all time?
Colin Cowherd (1:11 PM)
Probably Michael Jordan. Loved Steve Largent as a kid.
Jason (Georgia)
What sport would you have done well playing?
Colin Cowherd (1:11 PM)
Baseball. You don't have to be a superstar athlete. I was Mike Schmidt without any of the power.
Mike (Anchorage, AK)
Should the excessive celebration rule be abolished? (BYU@WA)
Colin Cowherd (1:12 PM)
No, it should just be rewritten. As it's written today, it's virtually impossible to decipher without controversy.
Mike (Indianapolis)
What do you think about Pittsburgh's chances this year in the AFC?
Colin Cowherd (1:12 PM)
It's really early. I'm not making any bold predictions based on one weekend. Silly to get too high or two low. It's judging a woman on 15 minutes. But we'll ask Hines Ward tomorrow at 11 AM ET on the show
Don (Toronto)
Pet peeve traveling?
Colin Cowherd (1:13 PM)
Yes...I don't mind long, extended trips to warm weather destinations. But I'm a dad and I miss my kids.
AJ (Lynchburg)
Is Penn State a sleeper team for the title in the Big Ten?
Colin Cowherd (1:13 PM)
They are very explosive on the outside. They have every chance to beat Ohio State with their playmakers.
Tony Soprano (Atlanta)
What's The Biggest Parlay You ever Hit? Or Last big one you remember?
Colin Cowherd (1:14 PM)
Giants/Bills superbowl. I hit the game and the total. BINGO.
Phillip (Lexington)
here is a question... is Amanda answering these?
Colin Cowherd (1:14 PM)
yes
Grant (Knoxville)
Will ANYBODY step up and win the Big East?
Colin Cowherd (1:15 PM)
South Florida is the best of a very mediocre group of teams.
Daniel (Harrisonburg, VA)
How blingy is Amanda's engagement ring?
Colin Cowherd (1:15 PM)
Let's just say you could skate on that ice rink.
JImbob (Eutaw, AL)
what the hell u do out there all day?
Colin Cowherd (1:15 PM)
Heading to the beach baby!
terrence anderson (maryland)
is east carolina really this good?
Colin Cowherd (1:16 PM)
It's amazing what good coaching can do to a team. Skip Holtz just got himself a bunch of job offers after two straight ranked opponent upsets.
CHRISTIAN (FORT MYERS)
WHY WONT YOU ANSWER MY QUESTION... I JUST WANT TO KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT JIM ROME
Colin Cowherd (1:16 PM)
He's a nice boy. Talked to him at the Super Bowl.
Jason (DC)
Most over-rated top 15 team?
Colin Cowherd (1:16 PM)
Overrated: Cal. Underrated: Oregon.
Zach (Vegas)
Colin what's the best way to bet on football? Parlays, straight up spreads, or Progressive Parlays?
Colin Cowherd (1:17 PM)
I tell Fisch this all the time. Straight bets. Parlays are for suckers and college kids.
Vinny (Los Angeles)
Dodgers & Man Ram headed to the World Series?
Colin Cowherd (1:17 PM)
Why not? Good manager, great power hitter, good pitching.
Eric (Tennessee)
Can Tennessee rebound after the UCLA loss?
Colin Cowherd (1:18 PM)
Absolutely. Don't judge a team on one game.
Dwight (Indy)
What book are you currently reading?
Colin Cowherd (1:18 PM)
I'm not sure it's called reading...more like looking. It's got pictures of big dinosaurs. Why do you ask?
Grant (Knoxville)
What would you be doing if you weren't in sports talk radio?
Colin Cowherd (1:19 PM)
Probably do something financially...maybe a stock broker?
Justin (Cleveland)
Do you think USC covers the spread against Ohio State?
Colin Cowherd (1:19 PM)
Wait until Friday for the "Wheel of Genius." Every Friday at 11:25 ET.
Brad (New Jersey)
matt ryan joe flacco good qb's or playing BAD teams
Colin Cowherd (1:20 PM)
I really like the size and intelligence and moxie of Matt Ryan. Joe Flacco...give me more time.
RB (NC)
why aren't you hosting a game show?
Colin Cowherd (1:20 PM)
Because I don't like game shows. I wouldn't mind hosting a bingo event. I-29. See, I'm already pretty good at it.
Sean (TX)
Who do you think will win the Heisman? The race seems wide open right now.
Colin Cowherd (1:21 PM)
The Heisman is a popularity contest. It means virtually nothing. If it was up to me, I'd abolish it.
Casey (Tupelo, Ms)
Out side of the big boys in the SEC, who is your suprise team?
Colin Cowherd (1:21 PM)
Missouri is very good. No big surprise. Very clever offense. Keep your eye on them and Oregon.
Austin (Charleston, sc)
you have any input on the two MNF games tonight
Colin Cowherd (1:22 PM)
I'll go Denver and Minnesota.
Chad (California)
What are the chances of the Rams moving back to L.A.?
Colin Cowherd (1:23 PM)
So so...I think Jacksonville is a safer bet to come to LA. The people there just don't seem to care a lot. And frankly, it's a pretty small media market.
john (baton rouge)
Do you think you will ever grow a mustache like Mike Belottie used to have?
Colin Cowherd (1:23 PM)
Seriously, I'm 44, and I couldn't grow a moustache if you gave me 6 years. Plus, I don't own a corvette, so it doesn't fit.
Fred ((FL))
What do you think of the Oklahoma City team's new name: the "Thunder?"
Colin Cowherd (1:24 PM)
Do better Oklahoma City.
Jason (OH)
Thoughts on the RIDICULOUS pentalty called against Jake Locker this past Saturday?
Colin Cowherd (1:24 PM)
I didn't like it either, but hey Huskies...don't be afraid to make the PAT, or occasionally even make a defensive stop. Quit blaming refs for inefficiency.
Bill (New Jersey)
Has Eastern Washington named anything after you?
Colin Cowherd (1:25 PM)
A urinal in building 4 count?
Mike (Anchorage, AK)
Should the PAC-10 expand by adding Boise St & Fresno St?
Colin Cowherd (1:25 PM)
Why would they need to do that?
Eric (Milwaukee)
Favorite Casino in Vegas?
Colin Cowherd (1:25 PM)
Whichever one I'm hitting at.
Jordan (Fayetteville, NY)
I'm not a knee jerk guy on coaches, but Greg Robinson in the 'Cuse?
Colin Cowherd (1:26 PM)
Not an easy place to recruit to, but that team is a mess. Losing to Akron at home? Pathetic.
Phillip (Lexington)
Favorite Gay bar in Seattle?
Colin Cowherd (1:26 PM)
Hard for me to choose.
Sean (TX)
Were you a QB in high school?
Colin Cowherd (1:26 PM)
Yes...and a darn good one.
Bill (New Jersey)
Ive heard that the only reason Greg Schiano is still at Rutgers is because he wants the Penn State job? Would he be a good fit?
Colin Cowherd (1:27 PM)
He'd be a great fit. Knows the region, would seamlessly transition in to successful recruiting. Oh, doesn't hurt that he was once an assistant there, too.
Kyle (Jersey Shore)
Bradyless Pats or New York Favres in the East?
Colin Cowherd (1:28 PM)
I'd still lean New England...barely.
Kyle (San Luis Obispo)
Do you think Wisconsin will wax Fresno State this weekend?
Colin Cowherd (1:28 PM)
Absolutely not. Very close football game.
CHRISTIAN (FORT MYERS)
HOW MUCH ARE THEY PAYING YOU TO SIT HERE AND ANSWER THESE STUPID QUESTIONS
Colin Cowherd (1:28 PM)
Not enough.
jacob (sanford)
How bad of a game day coach is Dave wanstedt
Colin Cowherd (1:29 PM)
I think it would be polite for me to say "not very good" and move on.
John (OKC)
Is neuhiesel going to give USC a run for their money.
Colin Cowherd (1:29 PM)
Not this year. But over time, it'll get more competitive.
Gerico (Texas)
Soup or salad
Colin Cowherd (1:30 PM)
Breakfast burrito today...yum.
Cosmo (Anytown, USA)
Lots of favorites covering this weekend. A bad weekend for the books. Was it a good one for you?
Colin Cowherd (1:30 PM)
Yes...despite what Amanda says the Wheel of Genius went 4-1. 10-2 on the season. Cha-CHING.
Raigan (Tennessee)
Will you marry me?
Colin Cowherd (1:30 PM)
Send a pic and I'll consider.
Hollywood (Fresno, CA)
How do you think McFadden will do tonight?
Colin Cowherd (1:31 PM)
Not sure. Interested to see. He's a rookie. Let's cut him some slack.
DAVID (OHIO)
How much do you take into OSU looking awful on Saturday?
Colin Cowherd (1:31 PM)
Clearly they were looking ahead. They will be much more focused this week.
Colin (Austin, TX)
How long until the Wheel of Genius takes a turn for the worse?
Colin Cowherd (1:31 PM)
How about umm...how long til Friday? 5 days?
Mark (Indianapolis)
Thoughts on Charlie Weis?
Colin Cowherd (1:32 PM)
I'm just waiting for his brilliant offense to start looking brilliant. Man, they looked pedestrian this weekend.
Bill ((RI))
Whats Bill Bellicheck thinking right at this very moment?
Colin Cowherd (1:32 PM)
Ya know...retirement has its advantages.
Doug Gottlieb (CT)
Uhh, me like pie. You?
Colin Cowherd (1:33 PM)
Doug...only a few more months until college basketball. Then you'll become more lucid.
Tom (Indiana)
Colin, ever tried yoga?
Colin Cowherd (1:33 PM)
Yes. Fascinating. Stretching for 45 minutes. It's revolutionary. it made me smarter.
Jim Rome (CT)
Im burning... (flaming)
Colin Cowherd (1:34 PM)
Seacreast out. Jim, aren't you supposed to be on your show?
Joe (Mission Viejo)
Colin better beach babes LA or Miami
Colin Cowherd (1:34 PM)
LA. A lot of the Miami girls are international. They don't understand a word I say.
Jason (Salt Lake City)
Can UCLA beat BYU at home?
Colin Cowherd (1:35 PM)
Actually think they will. Two weeks to prepare for a home game is a huge edge.
Colin Cowherd (1:35 PM)
One more question...have to get to the beach.
Brad (Iowa)
Who stands to benifiet most from Tom Brady's Injury?
Colin Cowherd (1:35 PM)
Matt Cassel. Welcome to the NFL, Matt.
Chad (California)
What beach you heading to?
Colin Cowherd (1:36 PM)
OK I lied. This is the last one. I'm heading to the one with waves and cheap Coronas.
Amanda (1:36 PM)
Got to go, folks. Thanks for the questions. We'll see you next Monday. Same time, same place.
