Clint (Parkersburg (#2 Titletown))

Brian (Detroit)

As an Astros fan, I love the Cubs' collapse. Is there anyhing better than routing against your division rival and they fall flat on their faces?

Dennis (Madison, WI)

Yep

Seedborg (Coos Bay, Oregon)

Pacific Northwest in the house

Steve (Knoxville, TN)

Colin,

Bill (NJ)

This is the best thing to happen to a friday since TGIF.

ESPNRadio.com

  (12:03 PM)

That was great....

Scott (Madison)

Does anyone think the Brewers will win at least one

Adam (Sioux Falls, SD)

The Cubs might as well call it quits.

Seedborg (Coos Bay, Oregon)

Miami gets win in upset

ossie (orlando)

gotta give Colin props for his Dodgers prediction.

golfertom (Bend, OR)

South Florida - Thursday nights - Colin's mantra - where good teams go to die!

Nick (Arlington,TX)

Whats up everyone

Cook (Austin, TX)

Are the Panthers the surprise team in the NFC this year? How far can they go?

Mark (Pensacola)

Buffalo not overrated

djwill (Los Angeles)

Cook...I would like to think....injuries always do them in

Little (Waco TX)

I was going to say the same thing.

jim (pa)

cards have their best player out..no way they beat Bills

pat (boston)

kurt warner's can't hold the ball - he will drop it - bills by 7.

Roser (Eugene, OR)

Ducks by 10 over USC oh wait I must be a delusional fan.

Chris (Norfolk)

will new england bounce back aganist 49ers?

Steve (Knoxville, TN)

san fran takes the pats

Matt (Charlotte, NC)

I should have listened to Colin... He always says NOT to do Meth...

ESPNRadio.com

  (12:07 PM)

Check out Heard in the Herd to hear that advice whenever you need it!

Bill (NJ)

Do the Bengals purposely try to make America's Most Wanted? Cedric Benson. UMMM HELLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOO! Shaun Alexander is still available.

Brett (Levittown, PA)

How 'bout them Phillies!!!!!!!!!!!!!

david (long beach)

san fra nhas given up 20 sacks

ben (tx)

no way

Cook (Austin, TX)

Yea that kills them every year. Better running game this year, and Jake's arm looks great

Chad (Savannah, GA)

Saints over Minny by 10.

Markku (Finland)

go benson!

Adam (Sioux Falls, SD)

Good to see Colin is on the Cowboys this week. Even though he cant stand T.O.

Manny Ramirez (Los Angeles)

Colin, I wanna go back to Boston! I miss the terrible weather!

djwill (Los Angeles)

Musin backat WR is a huge help and a healthy Jake... fingers crossed

Seedborg (Coos Bay, Oregon)

Beavs blew it last night. Utah is tough at home.

Nick (Arlington,TX)

Everyone week I'm driving to work and right when Colin starts to give his picks they cut to a Wade Phillips press conference... talk about going from an extreme high to low in 10 seconds.

ESPNRadio.com

  (12:08 PM)

Get to work earlier and listen on ESPNRadio.com!

RJ (alabama)

Is Nick Saban on today?

ESPNRadio.com

  (12:08 PM)

He's up next!

Paul (Erie, PA)

Benson over Alexander as Bengals RB. Alexander wants way too much money. Alot older too

Cook (Austin, TX)

Colin, Panthers the surprise them in the NFC this YR

Terrence (Allentown)

Seriously, how can anyone be a raiders fan right now

Chad (Denver)

Denver will destroy Griese this weekend. Hopefully he wont trip over his dog and get hurt!!!!

Bill (NJ)

Alexander restores character. Something the Bengals for the most part dont care about.

Colin (Milwaukee)

Either one of those two I beleive you are losing.

Jason (PA)

How about neither cause they're both washed up

Spivey (Atl)

Alexander is soft , and Benson is a knuckle head, I'd take neither.

Greg Schiano (New Brunswick, NJ)

I miss Ray Rice

Chris (Norfolk)

Denver has no D

ben (tx)

colin told us panter arent a surprise...last year worst in the division so thuis year week sechdule = good team

steven (salem, al)

raiders working on their hundred years

Brian (Mississauga)

My system started "buffering" while Colin was giving his NFL picks - who does he favour between Washington and Philadelphia.

ESPNRadio,com

  (12:11 PM)

You can see all the picks here: http://proxy.espn.go.com/chat/sportsnation/polling?event_id=3653

david (long beach)

I will mail my alexander jersey to bill in nj

Jason (PA)

Denver does too have a D, it's just that they're playing in the wrong league, they should be playing high school football

Steve (Knoxville, TN)

Rutgers= Flash in the pan

Bill (NJ)

I will gladly accept. Free of charge of course. I can send you an Al Davis picture in return, haha!

Paul (Erie, PA)

I'm an Indians fan. Not surprised by C.C. choking in the playoffs

Steve (Knoxville, TN)

Nice Fulmer jab by the way with the Peyton remark. He has to go!!!!

Chad (Denver)

The Vols= not fun to watch

steven (salem, al)

vols fun the watch ...watch lose

Jared (ohio)

For lunch today great northern beans, pulled chicken, and fresh sliced tomatoes mixed together and nuked.

ESPNRadio.com

  (12:14 PM)

Almost lunch time... thinking grilled cheese.

Chris (Norfolk)

Phillip Fulmer=Out Lane Kiffin=In

Chad (Savannah, GA)

I love how Tenessee fans say Fulmer has to go. Ask Syracuse fans how moves like that work out.

Adam (Sioux Falls, SD)

The Vols might be the only team not fun to watch in the SEC

david (long beach)

saban has recruited well and its showing

Bryan (Sewell, NJ)

Jared - No McRib?

Paul (Scranton, PA)

Vanderbilt is going to knock off Auburn 7-3 this week

Nathan (knoxville)

college football is all that matters

Chad (Savannah, GA)

As an LSU fan I hate Nick Saban. I hate that he is back in the SEC. He is currently the best coach in CFB. Les Miles is the craziest but Saban is the best.

ESPNRadio.com

  (12:16 PM)

Here's Colin!

Brian (Philly)

Are the Phillies putting up enough offense to have a chance against the Dodgers?

Colin Cowherd

  (12:16 PM)

Phillies believe in themselves. That's a very dangerous thing.

Andy (PA)

Herd - Am I totally insane for considering the possibility of all three NFC wild cards coming out of the East?

Colin Cowherd

  (12:17 PM)

Not at all. Great physicality in that conference. Three teams could make it.

tony (chicago)

why do the cubs stink so much?

Colin Cowherd

  (12:17 PM)

They're thinking too much. They're too tight. It's called performance anxiety.

Chris (Norfolk)

Can the White Sox Bounce back after Vazquez Mistakes?

Colin Cowherd

  (12:18 PM)

They need the home run -- and the Tampa staff does't give up a lot of those.

Jason (MI)

Who do you think will win tomorrow night: Ken Shamrock or Kimbo Slice?

Colin Cowherd

  (12:18 PM)

Ken Shamrock

philip (pittsburgh)

when do you think the pittsburgh pirates will be in the playoffs

Colin Cowherd

  (12:18 PM)

Never

Bill (NJ)

How is it possible Duke has a better record than Tennessee?

Colin Cowherd

  (12:19 PM)

Tennessee is poorly coached and Duke's played a weak schedule.

Chris (Norfolk)

Will New England Make the Playoffs and if so Should Belichick Win coach of the year?

Colin Cowherd

  (12:20 PM)

1... they're still well-coached. 2-- sure, that's legitimate.

ESPNRadio.com

  (12:20 PM)

Thanks Colin!

Steve (Knoxville, TN)

poorly coached is an understatement

Alec (Cincinnati)

Colin needs to do more commercials..

Mike (Charleston, SC)

Will the Carolinas ever get a baseball team?

Brian (Philly)

Never though about that...

Richard (Philadelphia)

Cubs fan is so fair weather. When will they realize they play in a weak division and the record is a product of that

Steve (Knoxville, TN)

Yeah the cubs might move there to change the mojo

Bryan (Sewell, NJ)

Mike in Charleston - DO you want the Pirates?

Matt (Charlotte, NC)

Hey mike, do we have a basketball team?

Chris (Norfolk)

Carolina should get the rays at least they would appreciate them more

Bill (NJ)

I didnt know Carolina's liked baseball. Thought it was mainly Nascar, College Basketball and NFL

Newt (Warner Robins)

Hey Mike, take the Braves, they are closer.

Jason (PA)

Or how about contract the Nationals and Pirates and move both of them to the Carolinas

Chris (Birmingham)

Saban. You can love him. You can hate him. But you had bettern not ignore him.

Chris (Norfolk)

Rays fans barely showed up for there division clinching series aganist Boston

Chad (Savannah, GA)

Just take UNC's baseball team and make them pro. They would be better than the Pirates.

charlie (winston salem)

Its all about the money and Charlotte has plenty of it. It will come but not soon enough

McRib Sandwich (Colin's Stomach)

Im comin back for you Colin!

Chris (Bakersfield,CA)

Collin great show today

Al Davis (Oakland)

Have I fired Lane Kiffin yet?

Danny (Lubbock,TX)

Whoa, I missed the wheel of Genius picks.

ESPNRadio.com

  (12:27 PM)

Oregon at USC (-16)... USC, Ohio State (-1) at Wisconsin... Ohio State; Florida State at Miami (-2)... Miami; Kentucky at Alabama (-16).. Alabama; UCONN at North Carolina (-7).. North Carolina

ESPNRadio.com

  (12:27 PM)

Here's Colin!

Ollie (Denver)

Are you buying the Broncos as a legitimate playoff contender?

Colin Cowherd

  (12:27 PM)

I don't love their overall personnel but I like their fire power on offense.

Jason (PA)

Where do you think Lane Kiffin may end up?

Colin Cowherd

  (12:28 PM)

College. He's gotten a taste of being "the guy." I don't think he wants to be an assitant.

Ryan ((Cleveland))

I realize PSU havent played anyone yet, but they are scoring a TON of points....you surprised?

Colin Cowherd

  (12:28 PM)

Yes. By Big Ten standards, they have a ton of playmakers.

Scott (Madison)

Will the Brewers at least get a win at home?

Colin Cowherd

  (12:28 PM)

Probably, but Philly is playing with a ton of confidence.

James (VA)

Colin, should UVa consider getting rid of its football program?

Colin Cowherd

  (12:28 PM)

I thought they already had.

Bryan (Sewell, NJ)

Colin - What are you watching Sunday night - SNF or baseball?

Colin Cowherd

  (12:29 PM)

Depends on where the series are.

ESPNRadio.com

  (12:29 PM)

Thanks Colin!

Chad (Savannah, GA)

All good Wheel of Genius picks except USC vs Oregon. USC wins but Oregon covers.

Pirates (Pittsburg)

Should we move to the Carolinas?

Chris (Bakersfield,CA)

USC is going to blow out Oregon

Al Davis (Oakland)

Fish! You wanna coach the Raiders.

Mike (Charleston)

I guess we'll take you.

LowBoy (Johnstown, pa)

Steelers will win in a close game this week. They should rest Ben and let Leftwich play. I am sure he would up his game against his former team. Def. will stop their run and pulll it off for the Steel City!

Chad (Savannah, GA)

Look at where Chris is posting from. Take your California bias out of your pick and you would see USC wins but not by more than 16.

Keith (Happy Valley)

The Trojans can't stop the run. Oregon has good backs.

Paul (Jackson, MI)

NO WAY OREGON COVERS!!

tinfoilonmyhead (.com)

Conspiracies are abound in the NBA!!! David Stern is hiding something!

Spivey (Atl)

Giants still atop the power poll ?

ESPNRadio.com

  (12:34 PM)

Here's Colin!

Chris (Bakersfield,CA)

Colin do you think USC is going back to the Rose Bowl?

Colin Cowherd

  (12:35 PM)

If they move one spot up for the next 9 weeks, they're going to go to some BCS game. There are a lot of goods team that play each other over the next two months, and they're going to knock each other off.

David Stern (USA)

Don't listen to Colin. The report we made up is legit.

Colin Cowherd

  (12:36 PM)

Maybe it is.. but when you commission it, the cynics are going to have a field day.

Chris (Norfolk)

Will Mizzou win the Big 12?

Colin Cowherd

  (12:36 PM)

I'll go with Oklahoma, but I wouldn't be shocked if the Tigers did it.

Bill (NJ)

If you owned a bar, what would you name it?

Colin Cowherd

  (12:38 PM)

We Know Our Vino... it'd be a wine bar.

Mike (NJ)

Is Red Sox-Dodgers the only potential ratings saver baseball has left with the Cubs on the verge of getting the boot

Colin Cowherd

  (12:38 PM)

Yeah, probably. The Phillies just aren't a national team, and neither are the Rays.

Bud Selig (NY)

MLB 2009 motto, "You think we got issues with Steroids, at least our Umps aren't throwing games"

Colin Cowherd

  (12:39 PM)

Very nice, Bud.

steven (salem, al)

colin, you think all the raiders need is a new mascot? lol

Colin Cowherd

  (12:40 PM)

They've got one... Al Davis.

ESPNRadio.com

  (12:40 PM)

Colin'll be back in a few minutes!

Tony (Florida)

I don't know what Mike in NJ is talking about, Rays-Brewers World Series is ratings gold!!!

Jason (PA)

Red Sox Dodgers is not only a Manny vs Red Sox potential, but possibly a redeeming moment for Nomar, even though he is merely a bench player.

Chad (Savannah, GA)

Phillies vs Boston WS would be too bad for ratings, at least on the east coast where it matters.

Paul (CA)

Ghost Hunters

steven (salem, al)

coaching the raiders so easy a caveman can do it

Roger Goodell (NY)

I would like th thank Bud Selig and David Stern for making myself and the NFL tons of Money

NHL (USA)

Funny, I haven't gotten any richer.

cavemen (the world)

Even we don;t want that job....

Pico (Chicotown)

zzzzz. Wake me up when the baseball talk is over.

Chad (Savannah, GA)

Al Davis is just like ND. People give them both too much respect based on what they did in the past.

Greg (Rhode Island)

Fisch's ghost sound effect are awesome... hahaha

ESPNRadio.com

  (12:46 PM)

Not sound effects! There's really a ghost in the studio!

Adam Anderson (Montana)

Ghosts are real, ask Jennifer Love Hewitt, she talks to them.

Hawkeyefan (Cedar Rapids, IA)

If the Raiders get their coordinators from a bed and breakfast they might as well higher a guy who stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night

Dustin. (Wilmington, NC)

Ghost Busters!

steven (salem, al)

oklahoma like the mcrib looks good but in the end they both end up the same place

Garin (Mobile, AL)

Why do my comments not get posted? Do you have to pay off somebody?

ESPNRadio.com

  (12:48 PM)

Yes, we take all forms of credit as well as paypal.

Paul (Jackson, MI)

That ghost is just Lane Kiffen's Career... haunting EVERYONE

steven (salem, al)

pico....if the cubs lose then no one will have anything left to talk about baseball

Bryan (Sewell, NJ)

Hey Bill in NJ - NFC East winner will be...?

Paul (Jackson, MI)

Don't Do METH! And your comments get posted!!

chris (Oregon)

ESPNRadio.com

  (12:50 PM)

Adam (Kansas)

What do you typically do on the weekend?

Colin Cowherd

  (12:50 PM)

Kids, workout, play sports, watch sports... oh yeah, I've got a tightrope in my backyard.. sometimes I do that for hours.

Paul (Erie, PA)

Colin, more impressive, Beckett's post season pitching or C.C.'s regular season feats? That asked, CC worth money he'll probably get?

Colin Cowherd

  (12:51 PM)

I'm a big believer in guys who are big in the clutch. Beckett's been great in the postseason.

Paul (Jackson, MI)

Colin, what are you going to be for Halloween??

Colin Cowherd

  (12:52 PM)

As I've said before, a lactose intolerant dwarf.

Chris (Horseheads, NY)

Colin, do you have any rivals at ESPN?

Colin Cowherd

  (12:53 PM)

Yeah, it's called management.

Kelly (Kentucky)

If a team can come back from 0-2, I think the cubs have the talent to do so. What do you think?

Colin Cowherd

  (12:53 PM)

No shot. They have no confidence.

Jason (MI)

What do you make of Chad OchoCinco planning on kissing the Dallas Star?

Colin Cowherd

  (12:53 PM)

He's not even in the best receiver on that football team.

Bryan (Sewell, NJ)

Colin Cowherd

  (12:55 PM)

Matt Ryan?

Bryan (Sewell, NJ)

Read any good books recently?

Colin Cowherd

  (12:55 PM)

I'm in football watching season. And political watching season. I'm low on book reading. Although there's a book buy a guy named Rich Florida that I'm going to start reading.

ESPNRadio.com

Colin'll be back in a few minutes!

Fred Flinstone (Bedrock)

ESPNRadio.com

Mike (Chuck, SC)

Colin Cowherd

  (1:00 PM)

Next year? Why do we have to wait?

Walter (Kentucky)

This is my 100th question posted under using a different name... am I a loser?

Colin Cowherd

  (1:00 PM)

I think you're heading in that direction....

Bill (Iowa)

Colin have you ever actually herded cows?

Colin Cowherd

  (1:00 PM)

My name is English, so someone in my family was a cowherder.

Jason (MI)

Will the Det. Lions fare any better w/o Matt Millen? Record next year...?

Colin Cowherd

  (1:01 PM)

Probably not this year... and how do I know? You're not asking a question, you're asking me an answer. Listen, they stink. All the time.

Chad R (Bemidji MN)
