  • Memphis is a Killing Field 💯

    LeBron told the truth and the “Black Community” melts down…… smh

    Don’t know Memphis? Black folks are getting slaughtered on a regular basis in Memphis.

    The GD’s run Memphis. They’ve been extorting Ja Morant since his rookie season. They stepped to him in the club and let him know “You Good In These Streets” and he’s been under their thumb since

    Black Liberals/Progressives don’t love Black Folks. They just hate White People 💯

  • Make Nick Wright Permanent

    If Nick Wright worked with Cowherd permanently it would be golden. I like some of their personal views and guys Colin has associated with but Nick is the only guy who truly elevates the product. Also having women give their opinions is fresh and engaging I miss his female cohosts.

    Colin, you’re killing me with the vacation time. J-Mac is great but enough already. Hunker down and get back to it.

  • More than you expect

    Beware If you subscribe with auto download you will end up downloading about 8 different podcasts. Cowherd has a podcast network and unethically puts them all under his show, often my phone downloads up to 4 episodes and only gets1 hour of Colin and 3 episodes from other people I never wanted. You have been warned. Otherwise I enjoy Colin’s show when I don’t have work to find his show through the mess.

  • New side kick

    Colin’s takes are good, though I agree with 65-70% of them. McIntyre’s constant criticism, negativity, pessimism and putting words in Cowherd's mouth is too much. New side kick is definitely warranted. The guy from 3 and out podcast is ok, anything is better than what you have now. There’s a guy you had a few times in the past year who is really good. After a week of shows his delivery and timing will be spot on, or one of the ladies you have on from time to time Colin, sorry about the 2 star. C... more
