Chris (NY)

Brian (Mississauga)

How do you like the Bills' chances with JP Losman at QB.

Colin Cowherd

  (12:01 PM)

I don't like their chances as much as I do with Trent Edwards. Trent's just beter all around, plain and simple.

ESPNRadio.com

  (12:02 PM)

Thanks Colin! We'll have more from Colin later -- right now he's making his NFL picks -- be sure to vote against Colin!

Josh (Ky)

Bills lose with Losman. They need Super Edwards

Dow Jones (Wall Street)

Colin. LOVE THE SHOW How low should I go??

Greg (El Paso, TX)

Brian (Illinois)

Good pick with Dolphins Colin!

Chad (Kearney (NE))

Gus Frerotte will throw for 300 plus. Don't be surprised if AD struggles again.

ESPNRadio.com

  (12:10 PM)

Here's Colin!

Jason (Atlanta)

Do you think the Red River rivalry will be a close game?

Colin Cowherd

  (12:10 PM)

Absolutely, but the favorite almost always wins.

Jordan (San Diego)

How good are the charges chances in the West now?

Colin Cowherd

  (12:10 PM)

I've never been a Norv Turner guy, bu7t LT is healthy, that helps a lot.

chris (ireland)

Colin who do you rate as your most NFL ready QB out of the current crop.? love the show

Colin Cowherd

  (12:10 PM)

Maybe Rudy Carpenter of Arizona State... or Chase DAniel.

Josh (Ky)

Manny and LA versus Boston for the World Series, could there be a better series?

Colin Cowherd

  (12:11 PM)

Nope. I'd like Boston in that one.

Anton (Chicago)

Herd - Can the Bears win 10 games this season?

Colin Cowherd

  (12:11 PM)

I love the Bears special teams and defense.

Grey Goose (Colin's Cabinet)

Are we getting together this weekend?

Colin Cowherd

  (12:11 PM)

Of course we are.

Tyson (West Hartford)

Colin, you gotta quit writing checks to pay your bills man. Get with the times or become Grandma Cowherd.

Colin Cowherd

  (12:12 PM)

I like seeing the checks leave my house. It's comforting.

ESPNRadio.com

  (12:12 PM)

Thanks Colin! Dennis Eckersley's on now!

Todd (Iowa)

Colin Great pick with the Bears its an easy win

james (ft. wash md.)

What were wheel of Genius picks?

ESPNRadio.com

LSU (+6) at Florida, Colin takes LSU

ESPNRadio.com

  (12:15 PM)

Texas at Oklahoma (-6.5)... Colin takes Oklahoma

ESPNRadio.com

  (12:15 PM)

Penn State (-5.5) at Wisconsin... Penn STate

ESPNRadio.com

  (12:15 PM)

Arizona State (-28.5) at USC.. Arizona State

ESPNRadio.com

  (12:15 PM)

Notre Dame (+8.5) at North Carolina... Colin's taking Notre Dame.

Bill (NJ)

This gets my weekend going. Id like to thank the Herd and ESPN for doing this. Its just fantastic.

Kenny (Philly)

Why is no one picking the Phillies. Am I a Homer?

Chris (Chicago)

negative....the rays are for real...Joe Maddon is manager of the year...he has all the experience needed

Slacker (@ work)

Colin, FYI..It's not about the journey, it's about the destination

Bryan (Sewell, NJ)

Bill in NJ - Thoughts on the Pats chances this week?

Josh (Ky)

Kenny, nope you are a fan.

Charlie Manuel (Philadelphia)

No, Kenny you're not

Jason (Atlanta)

A Phillies-Rays world series would be a ratings killer.

Ted Turner (Atlanta)

anything with the braves is a ratings killer....

Mat (Omaha, Ne)

No just having the Ray's in the series would push the ratings up

Zack (Portland, Maine)

MLB needs it to be L.A./Boston just like the NBA did. It'll be a great for ratings and it's a good story.

Ricky (Alabama)

dont do meth, that's a you problem, that's ridiculous, absurd - just a few of my favorite (colin) things

Josh (Ky)

anything but an LA-Bos series will be a ratings killer

Brandon (Pittsburgh)

Phillies - Rays would be a ratings killer but great baseball

Rays & Phillies (MLB)

We would be RATINGS GOLD!

Chris (Chicago)

Who will win the NFC North? Chicago or GB?

Carlos (Torreon, Mexico)

Red Sox - Phillies would get a pretty good rating, I think. 2 of the oldest teams in baseball, each with very passionate fans. In LA, nobody cares.

Slacker (@ work)

The Vikings

Bill (NJ)

GB

Rays (St. Petersburg, FL)

We would beat the Phillies in 5, maybe 6 games

Todd (Iowa)

MLB seasons ends the first week of the NFL

Brian (Illinois)

How did Lidge become such a stud when he was so bad in Houston.

Zack (Portland, Maine)

Phillies Sox would be better. So much power in both lineups.

Bryan (pittsburgh)

PENS vs REDWINGS huge ratings

Andrew (Michigan)

Yeah, nobody cares in LA, but everybody not in LA cares about LA.

Brandon (Pittsburgh)

If the Eagles finish 9-7 and go 4-0 or 3-1 against the NFC West, can the Eagles be given the playoff spot that would go to the NFC West division winner?

Brian (Illinois)

GB for sure Chris in Chi town

Josh (Ky)

No one but FLA and Phila would care about a Rays-Phillies series

Mat (Omaha, Ne)

Have you seen Lidge's slider it was flat with the astros

Jason (Atlanta)

If I'm the Dodgers I'd sign Manny. He has finally made the Dodgers relevant in 20 years! Roll the dice, take a chance. Plus I think he likes L.A.

Matt Millen (Not in Detroit)

The Lions will now that I am not there anymore.

L.A. Fans (L.A.)

We care if they are good....

Hank S (Tampa)

Yankees and Cubs would be a great series...what?..nevermind..

Brad Lidge (Philly)

I had a tough time after that big blast, but I rallied

Matt (My office)

Lidge wasn't that bad in Houston until Pujols hit THE home run off of him

Joe Torre (LA)

Whos laughing now George and Hank?

Mat (Omaha, Ne)

When is the herd doing an all Hockey show!1

Colin Cowherd

  (12:25 PM)

I swear to you. One day next week, I'm blowing off football all day for four hours.

Heather (Georgia)

Where is Fisch?

Colin Cowherd

  (12:25 PM)

Speculation is he's popping the question.

Thomas (D.C.)

Herd- will UNC win the acc in college football?

Colin Cowherd

  (12:26 PM)

Actually, I think it's possible. Not because they're great, but because the ACC is dreadful.

Cristian (DC)

Colin, will the redskins go 8-1 till their bye week?

Colin Cowherd

  (12:26 PM)

Looks like it. The schedule eases up considerably.

ESPNRadio.com

  (12:28 PM)

Colin'll be back in a few! He's talking economy now.

NICK (TRAVERSE CITY)

REDSKINS WILL FALL TO THE LIONS NOW THAT MILLEN IS GONE

T-dizzle (Tempe)

I think Fisch is probably too busy checking out 1st half NBA preseason lines.

Slacker (@ work)

oh no! it's all CAPS guy

Brandon (Pittsburgh)

Only us Americans would work extra hours for doughnuts instead of just picking up a bagel before you walk into the office...

Brian (Illinois)

I like the doughnuts at company staff meetings

Chris (Chicago)

Cuban= Genius

Mat (Omaha, Ne)

Not the donuts!!!

Steelers (Pittsburgh)

Washington won't beat us, 7-2 they go into the bye week

Matt (Dublin, GA)

I have my meetings at night...no donuts

Brian (Illinois)

Steelers better bulk up on the line Or no BIG BEN! Washington will win

steven (salem, al)

time to make the donuts

Cory (Springfield, Mo.)

pittsburng is weak. wild card at best.

ESPNRadio.com

  (12:35 PM)

We've got Colin!

Jeff (Idaho Falls)

Colin, can Ocosta beat Morton tonight?

Colin Cowherd

  (12:35 PM)

I've already laid a hundy on my Wildcats

Chris (Chicago)

Notre Dame's final record is......?

Colin Cowherd

  (12:35 PM)

9-3 with a loss in a Bowl game

matt (west palm beach)

if miami goes 9-7, is sporano coach of year, or overlooked because of parcells?

Colin Cowherd

  (12:36 PM)

Sporanoi absolutely but it is a legitimate question because Parcells will get a lot of the credit.

Todd (Iowa)

Colin, do you think Orton is for real?

Colin Cowherd

  (12:36 PM)

No. I think he's real as in real inconsistent.

JD (Maryland)

Colin, what are penn state's chances at a national championship

Colin Cowherd

  (12:36 PM)

Not great, because they have to go to Columbus. They have to go undefeated because a 1-loss Big Ten team wil not get in over a 1-loss Big 12 or SEC team.

Jason (Atlanta)

Will the Raiders ever return to respectability?

Colin Cowherd

  (12:37 PM)

Not as long as Al Davis owns them.

Brian (Illinois)

What's for lunch today Colin?

Colin Cowherd

  (12:37 PM)

I had a salmon salad and a little pasta.

Drew (NY)

Colin, why are you the man?

Colin Cowherd

  (12:38 PM)

I humbly defer that question to America but I Think the answer is obvious.

Chris (Chicago)

Rose Bowl...USC vs. Penn State

Colin Cowherd

  (12:38 PM)

Very very likely.

Josh (Ky)

How far can Vandy go?

Colin Cowherd

  (12:38 PM)

They're an 8 win team, maybe 9.

Lance (Rogers, AR)

Colin, any big plans for the weekend?

Colin Cowherd

  (12:39 PM)

Kids, soccer, watching a lot of football.

JB (Ralls, TX)

Big if, but if Texas Tech wins out, could you see them in the championship game

Colin Cowherd

  (12:40 PM)

I like their offense, but I still don't think they're defensive personnel is good enough to win the Big 12.

Brandon (Spokane)

Preseason NBA = boring?

Colin Cowherd

  (12:41 PM)

If you don't understand the energy of a Sacramento-Utah preseason game with players you've never heard of -- you just don't get it.

Josh (Ky)

worse conference, Pac 10 or ACC?

Colin Cowherd

  (12:41 PM)

ACC... not even close. USC elevates the Pac-10 above it.

Anton (Chicago)

If Texas Tech beats Texas, Ok St, and OK, let 'em play for the national title

Matt (Dublin, GA)

UGA wins SEC

Carlos (Torreon, Mexico)

True of false: in the long run, Boston will benefit more from the Bay trade then LA from the Manny trade.

Matt (Tampa)

Why is college football so great?

Jason (MI)

How can the Titans be 7th in power rankinings? They're undefeated? Some of the teams above them are on egg shells.

Greg (Dallas)

OU will dominate the Longhorns. Lookr for a 38-17 score

Jeff (Birmingham)

Hey UGA boy...remember the 'Bama game?

Ryan (Louisville, KY)

Kentucky will beat UGA this year.

Matt (Tampa)

He blocked that game out of his head

Bryan (Sewell, NJ)

Jason - Titans not flashy, and the power rankings are in part a popularity contest.

steven (salem, al)

vandy alabama alabama wins

Johnny (Scranton, PA)

Have to agree with Colin on PSU needing to go unbeaten to play for the BCS title. That conference championship game in both the SEC and Big 12 carries a lot of weight with the BCS officials.

Josh (Ky)

UGA wins SEC 2009!

Ryan (Louisville, KY)

UGA will not win the SEC sorry but they are not that good with the injuries to the offensive line

Zack (Portland, Maine)

Carlos, true: Bay is so much younger, but puts up the same numbers.

ESPN.com (WWW)

We have the Titans ranked 2nd behind the Giants, check us out

Tyler (OH)

Pre-Season NBA, regular season NHL, or NASCAR.. What do you watch first?

Brandon (Spokane)

What power rankings has the Titans 7th?

Zack (Portland, Maine)

Pre-Season NBA

Michael (Arlington)

NHL!!!

Ryan (Louisville, KY)

Pre-season NBA. At least that resembles sports.

Bill (NJ)

Hey Tyler. Id rather watch Bass fishing.

Brian (ky)

go, cubs, go!!!

Brian (Illinois)

Nascar Probally?

Jason (MI)

NBA all the way -

Dewayne (L.A.)

Both the Dodgers and Red Sox benefit from that trade. Rember, Boston is paying Manny's salary, not the Dodgers.

Bryan (Sewell, NJ)

Tyler - Paint drying.

Brandon (Spokane)

Neither, unless it's the debut of Greg Oden.

Josh (Ky)

Vegas has the Titans 7th

ESPNRadio.com

  (12:50 PM)

We'll have Colin soon -- send in your questions!

Brian (ky)

I'd rather watch PBS disect a frog!!!

ESPNRadio.com

  (12:51 PM)

Here's Colin!

Russell (Montgomery AL)

Colin, who does Alabama lose to this year?

Colin Cowherd

  (12:51 PM)

I think they play LSU pretty soon, don't they?

Cory (Springfield, Mo.)

what happens to the Big 12 next year when qb's bounce for the NFL?

Colin Cowherd

  (12:52 PM)

Most of them won't

Robb (Virginia Beach)

Do the Falcons continue the tradition of worst to first in the NFC South this year? Ryan is looking good!

Colin Cowherd

  (12:52 PM)

They have found an identity. That's the best thing going for them.

Matt (Tampa)

If rays win world series is it the biggest turn around ever?

Colin Cowherd

  (12:52 PM)

No, it's the most boring World Series ever.

Cory (GF, ND)

Colin what is your favorite cookie?

Colin Cowherd

  (12:53 PM)

gooey chocolate chip, of course.

Brandon (Pittsburgh)

Colin, when you were talking about your daughter playing soccer, I believe it is the first time that I've ever heard you talk soccer. Could MLS and UEFA be far behind???

Colin Cowherd

  (12:53 PM)

Don't get ahead of yourself.

Andrew (Michigan)

Colin, where do the Colts end up at the end of the year?

Colin Cowherd

  (12:53 PM)

Still win the division.

Anil (Georgia)

Georgia off of a blowout and bye week crushes tennessee? right?

Colin Cowherd

  (12:53 PM)

Yep. Rumors are Fulmer's in big trouble.

Gene (Moorpark ,Ca)

Vandy vs Miss. St ,who will win?

Colin Cowherd

  (12:54 PM)

Mississippi State in an upset.

Slacker (@ work)

WOW you cant be serious. You seriously believe the Titans won't win their division?

Colin Cowherd

  (12:55 PM)

Oh wait. My bad. Forgot the Titans. Darn!

ESPNRadio.com

  (12:56 PM)

The show's wrapping up now -- Colin'll be back in a few.

Callaway (Indy)

Titans are very overated

Slacker's Boss (@ Work)

Please come to my office.

Brandon (Pittsburgh)

I want soccer, and hockey and Rays baseball 24/7!!

Cristian (DC)

Titans HAVE NO BEEN TESTED!

Josh (Ky)

I would like to introduce to you, Lane Kiffin the new Head Coach of the Volunteers!

Gary (Scranton)

Titans are overated but Indy is old with no running game

Matt (Tampa)

To Brandon- Who doesnt?

ESPNRadio.com

  (12:59 PM)

Here's Colin!

Jermaine (Denver)

How disappointing are the Cleveland Browns to you?

Colin Cowherd

  (1:01 PM)

They are exactly what we thought -- a game under. 500. Much like my motto in life, low expectations equals little disappointment.

Brandon (Spokane)

Are the Giants overrated? Rams, Bengals, Seahawks? Combined 1-12. Can't forget the Redskins game with no two minute offense.

Colin Cowherd

  (1:03 PM)

No, they're fantastic. Their depth is amazing. They have WRs, defensive linemen, running backs all over the place.

Chris (Chicago)

Louisville or Memohis tonight?

Colin Cowherd

  (1:04 PM)

In basketball I would like Louisville, barely.

Bear (GA)

Colin, what makes the SEC the greatest conference in the history of the world?

Colin Cowherd

  (1:05 PM)

Generally defense and intensity.

Bo (Los Angeles)

Who do you see playing the Giants in the Superbowl?

Colin Cowherd

  (1:05 PM)

Titans

Lance (Rogers, AR)
