What is it about this picture that disturbs me so greatly. As a devout Georgia Bulldog fan, I should appreciate the fact that a national media personality such as Colin Cowherd made a visit to Athens for the UGA-Auburn game last fall and was given a personalized jersey. It could only help Georgia nationally when Cowherd has a good experience in Athens. However, the fact remains that I have simply developed a hatred for this man over the past year. I used to enjoy his show and listened on a regular basis. I realize that his job is to create controversy, but it seems that he has gotten more arrogant and all-knowing over the past year. He comes out with these outrageous opinions that aren't based on any semblance of fact. The best example of this syndrome is his treatment of Sean Taylor's murder. Instead of waiting for the facts to come out, he jumped to the conlusion that Taylor's past had a direct influence on his shooting. It turned out that he was dead wrong, and the crime was commited by teenagers in search of an easy score. As a media personality that wields such influence, this attitude strikes me as nothing but dangerous. It seems as if he has become increasingly controversial in an attempt to garner a bigger audience.
With all that being said though, the biggest problem I have with this picture is that Cowherd looks like a gigantic douchebag.
