Amanda (1:02 PM)
Hey guys...Colin is just cutting his promos for tomorrow's show. Just about ready to stop by.
Chad (Savannah, GA)
Hey Amanda will you buy Colin some Just For Men for those 2 streaks on the side of his head? Either that or he should be Magneto for Halloween.
Amanda (1:04 PM)
He likes the grey. He thinks he looks mature.
Sandy- Hershey, Pa.
Do you think Andy Reid's lack of imagination inside the 5 at the end of the game cost the Eagles?? Whatever happened to the quarterback sneak which MCNabb always makes or a fake and roll out with all of the Bears selling out to stop the tailback.
Colin (1:05 PM)
I've always said...criticizing playcalling is overrated. They spend 80 hours a week preparing.. a lot more than me and you.
David (Trenton, NJ)
Hey Colin, I agree that the Cowboys are still the team to beat in the NFC. My ? to you is: So where does the Giants rank in your opinion.
Colin (1:06 PM)
It's hard to tell where the Giants will be... I'd put them in the top three of the NFC. They are in a brutal divison.
Bill (NJ)
Whats the meaning of life to you Colin?
Colin (1:06 PM)
That's way too deep of a question after 4 hours of radio.
Dwan (DC)
Colin, watched bama and usc, bama is too good up front (ol and dl) for anyone...going to be tough to beat
Colin (1:07 PM)
You're finally off to a good start for the first time in years. Settle down.
Anthony (Youngstown, OH)
Colin, why is no one talking about the Buccaneers? They are one of the top teir teams in the league and get no recognition
Colin (1:07 PM)
Bucs don't win pretty, but they win. Plus, there are so many good teams in the NFC East, they are getting overshadowed. But, as usual, their defense is really good.
The Mets
Now what, Colin?
Colin (1:08 PM)
The owner says we overachieved. Seriously, how do you overachieve with $140 million dollar payroll and no trip to the postseason? Hey David Wright, don't be afraid to get a big hit.
Jeff (Columbus)
Herd, when are you coming to columbus?
Colin (1:08 PM)
We will be there before the OSU/Michigan game. Eddie George's Grill. Be there.
Al Davis (Oakland, CA)
Did we win the game
Colin (1:09 PM)
No, you blew a 15-point lead. Just get up Al? And what's with the 76-yard field goal?
Bill (NJ)
World Series pick?
Colin (1:09 PM)
I'm going Dodgers/Rays.
Mike (Missoula, MT)
Any thoughts on Notre Dame?
Colin (1:10 PM)
Notre Dame is incredibly predicatable. Good enough to beat average teams at home, but they're not going to beat North Carolina or USC on the road.
Kendra (Oregon)
You said on your show today that you aren't at your best unless the bosses are on your case. What are they on your case about these days?
Colin (1:10 PM)
Coming to work naked. It's a huge problem.
Dave (UConn)
Hey Colin...who would you rath quarterback your team...Eli Manning or Tony Romo?
Colin (1:10 PM)
Eli Manning. No question.
Mark (Fort Myers)
Who types your answers?
Colin (1:11 PM)
Charlie Weis.
Damion (Tampa Bay)
Dodgers-Rays = RATINGS GOLD!
Colin (1:12 PM)
As Norm McDonald would say, "box office poision."
Justin (Columbus,Oh)
NHL opening night October 17, are you ready for it Colin!!!
Colin (1:12 PM)
Ready for it? Hello...I'm dropping the first puck in Calgary.
Mike (Chuck, SC)
Herdius, Skins or Eagles?
Colin (1:13 PM)
Eagles if Westbrook is healthy.
Travis (Lancaster, PA)
After the Illinois game on Saturday, do you think Penn State has a shot at making it to the National Championship?
Colin (1:13 PM)
I do think they have a shot.
Bernard (Princeton, NJ)
Charlie's fingers are too fat to hit all the right keys!
Colin (1:13 PM)
Hey, that's not nice!
Bill (NJ)
Outside of Jeff Fisher, most underrated coach in the NFL?
Colin (1:14 PM)
That's a tough one...Jack Del Rio?
Carson (Greensboro, NC)
Herd, have you and The Sports Guy made up?
Colin (1:14 PM)
I offered an olive branch in Los Angeles. He was really cool.
Carey (Louisiana)
Is QB the only position keeping LSU out of your BCS title discussion?
Colin (1:14 PM)
Mostly, yes.
chad (Lex, KY)
How great is it that the Yankees are not in the playoffs and teams like the Rays and Twins will be?
Colin (1:14 PM)
Bud Selig secretly hates it, but yes it's great for the sport.
Brian (Santa Barbara)
Now that the Beavers have a big win, are they the favorite in the PAC-10????
Colin (1:15 PM)
They will lose this Thursday @ Utah. Mark my words.
RJ (TX)
Wade is a marshmallow, but it isn't nice to call Weiss too fat to type. huh?
Colin (1:15 PM)
Well, with Charlie you're just making fun of his fingers.
Jeff (Syracuse, NY)
Do you think the Bills are for real?
Colin (1:15 PM)
How can you not? They are winning at home, they are winning on the road, look good on defense and at QB.
Nephew Nate (Baltimore)
Do people in SEC country honestly question if U Southern Cal are really good?
Colin (1:16 PM)
Yes, they really did. It's quite an objective group of fans.
Ian (Tuscaloosa)
I don't know if you already covered this, but does Vegas buy Alabama as much as the media now?
Colin (1:16 PM)
Vegas has them 7th. I have them a little higher.
Marion Barber (Dallas)
Why was I abandoned yesterday?
Colin (1:17 PM)
Great quesiton, Marion. Can't figure that one out.
Travis (Lancaster, PA)
Herd, you have to watch the new Tina Fey as Sarah Palin on SNL. Hilarity ensues.
Colin (1:17 PM)
It's frightening how close to the truth that may be.
Matt (Charleston, SC)
Who consumes more calories a day - Wade, Charlie or Michael Phelps?
Colin (1:17 PM)
Come on now, let's be nice.
Chad (Savannah, GA)
Your precious Vegas poll has LSU 11th. That is a joke.
Colin (1:17 PM)
Yes, I like LSU a little more, too.
Sarah Palin (Alaska/DC)
I was on TV again? Could I see Russia from there?
Colin (1:19 PM)
I've been to Anchorage. It's beautiful. The whole state is. Here's the strange thing about Alaska: ever man in that state has facial hair. Even the children.
Mike (Chicago)
Do you watch Bill Maher's show on HBO. Started watching it, now I'm hooked.
Colin (1:19 PM)
I loved Bill as a guest on Larry King. Sometimes as a host he's annoying. But he is very talented.
Nephew Nate (Baltimore)
I am an adult and can not wait for Lee Corso to put on a mascot head on Saturday mornings. Is that strange behavior?
Colin (1:20 PM)
I have the same problem. I'm seeing a therapist.
scott (lou ky)
should coll gameday be in tuscaloosa for undefeated uk or will they be at the boring ohio st wisc game?
Colin (1:20 PM)
They're going to Nashville for Vanderbilt/Auburn.
Yeti (Alaska)
Why is facial hair on children strange?
Colin (1:20 PM)
Yeti, it is. Trust me.
Cubs (Chicagoland)
Should my pitching staff even consider pitching to Manny?
Colin (1:21 PM)
Not if there are men on base after the 6th inning.
David D (Hollywood, CA)
Is Amanda open to new things?
Colin (1:21 PM)
Yes, she did pilates last week. And she even got highlights.
Bryan (Sewell, NJ)
Horse racing question for you - do the Bears have the horses to win the NFC North?
Colin (1:22 PM)
Don't think so. But with Aaron Rodgers now potentially hurt, that could change things.
Mets Bullpen (Vacation)
What's wrong with me?
Colin (1:22 PM)
Where do I begin? This chat ends in 8 minutes.
Scott (Albany NY)
Where is Manny playing next yr?
Colin (1:22 PM)
I think he'll stay with the Dodgers. You have to resign him. He puts butts in seats. He likes LA.
Jeremy (CT)
OSU vs USC in the rosebowl. Possible?
Colin (1:23 PM)
I don't want to see that game because they play at the beginning of next year.
Peter Griffin (Quahog, RI)
This chat is worse than the time I took Stewie to Bad Newz Kennelz to get a dog.
Colin (1:23 PM)
Inside joke. Very funny,
Mike (New York)
Francesa said bet bank on PIT tonight, thoughts?
Colin (1:24 PM)
Someone needs a cohost. that's my thought.
Emily (Colorado)
Chances CU can upset Texas this weekend?
Colin (1:24 PM)
Texas is getting great QB play. I don't think much of a shot.
Paul (detroit, mi)
Is Lou Holtz one of the most entertaining interviews/guests you have on your show? I think he may have one of the sharpest wits of anyone I have seen.
Colin (1:24 PM)
You should see the guy work out in the ESPN gym. Pure comedy.
Gil (Tampa)
What's your favorite place in Ybor?
Colin (1:25 PM)
haven't been in several years. Can't really remember, but I'll be down there for a week in January.
David Fairborn, OH
What's the greatest state you've ever lived in or visited? I think Oregon may be #1.
Colin (1:26 PM)
Oregon has an incredible quality of life. That said, I'll probably retire in the Bay Area.
Dustin (Duluth, MN)
Joe Pa, Lou Holtz, Beeno Cook..... who would you like to be your grandpa?
Colin (1:26 PM)
Beano is the funniest so I'd go with him. JoePa is too crankky.
wayne (alabama)
colin still single? a bunch of girls down here find you mildly attractive?
Colin (1:27 PM)
Well, that's good, beacuse that's exactly what I am.
Mike, LA
You still think the Angels are boring? Even with Tex?
Colin (1:27 PM)
Texiera helps a little...but this is not a fascinating club. They do it with pitching and defense. Snoooooze....
Chris (Omaha)
Raising a family on 100K/yr, better place to live, midwest anywhere or Oregon?
Colin (1:28 PM)
Give me places close to a beach. Don't think the midwest offers that.
Bill (NJ)
Month till Halloween Colin? What are you and your kids dressing up as?
Colin (1:28 PM)
I'm going as a lactose intolerant dwarf.
Finless (Denver)
Did Kip Winger retire before his time?
Colin (1:28 PM)
I think that's obvious.
Joel(Reno,NV)
Amanda Just wanted to let you know you have that "Glow" about you right now. Hope you and Acorn Boy are excited.
Amanda (1:28 PM)
Every week this comes up. how many times do I have to say it? NO BUN IN THE OVEN!
Nate (Madison)
If the Angels are boring, what's your thoughts on the Brewers. This past week at Miller Park has just been an electric atmosphere.
Colin (1:29 PM)
LIke the Brewers a lot more when Ben Sheets is healthy.
Scott (MU)
Is Stewart Scott getting old?
Colin (1:30 PM)
We're all getting old, dude.
Fanatic (Clemson, SC)
Tommy Bowden vs Bobby Bowden...who would you rather coach your team?
Colin (1:30 PM)
How about Terry Bowden?
A-Rod (NY, NY)
Can I come over and watch the Playoffs?
Colin (1:30 PM)
Only if you bring Madonna.
chad (Lex, KY)
of all the playoff teams who is least likely to win the world series
Colin (1:31 PM)
Brewers. Starting pitching not good enough.
Colin (1:31 PM)
One more question.
Matt , Ohio
What do the Broncos need to do to improve their defense? Do they have the right pieces? I know their D-Line is young.
Colin (1:31 PM)
They are a very good team. Jay Cutler was just out of his mind yesterday with interceptions.
Amanda (1:32 PM)
All right...Colin is off. Tune in tomorrow... we've got SI's Peter King, Kerry Collins from the Tennessee Titans (and a former PENN STATE QB!) and Mike Scioscia from the Angels.
