No radio personality is more full of himself than this ESPN radio host.  The self-proclaimed man of common sense is a true lightening rod which can make listening entertaining, but he takes it to an all new ridiculous level. I understand that my view may not be the popular one, as his show and involvement with ESPN has grown greatly since he was hired. In fact, I have a few friends who even enjoy him, although I have thrown the red flag and am waiting for a booth review on their friendship and have requested the results from their last Wonderlic. Seriously though, its time for this guy to run the gauntlet! Every day he tells us just how brilliant he is and he regales us with his myopic takes on sports while mocking and ridiculing anyone who may disagree.  In an industry of windbags, yours truly included, this guy is on whole different level. What earns him the ‘Windbag of the Year’ award is his wonderfully insightful comments on Tony Romo from September. He called Romo out for being a bum, and then made this genius statement, ‘Trent Edward is a better QB than Romo, he is a top 10 QB, he has to be, he went to Stanford.’ Wow! That is MENSA level analysis, it’s a wonder he doesn’t work in an NFL teams front office. The long and short of it is, if you don’t already have an opinion and would like one, listen to Cowherd. If you have an opinion but perhaps you don’t have enough anger or frustration in your life, Cowherd’s your man.

John Kincade is the Sunday morning guy for ESPN Radio,and he works out of Atlanta for an ESPN affiliate.

> I have a decidedly low tolerance for bad broadcasting, but for the most part it doesn’t make me angry. Sometimes I even have fatal attraction for it - the ‘its so bad its good’ approach.  John Kincade is different though.  Nobody gets my blood boiling like this guy. He is the single greatest cause of road rage in my life. Some Sunday mornings I find myself driving around alone in the car and I invariably end up listening to the radio.  As a result I can pretty much vouch for myself as a Sunday morning radio expert.  And let me tell you, there isn’t much to listen to.  So before you know it I find myself listening to ESPN in slim hopes that they have changed the host, but alas to this point it hasn’t happened.  So I slip into my straight-jacket and listen to the ‘JK’ show.  From experience I can tell you it isn’t safe to drive in a straight-jacket, but it is safer than driving without one and listening to the ‘JK’ show. In fact one Sunday morning I was stopped by one of the city’s finest as I had been swerving all over the road careening off off light standards and mailboxes. Once the officer stopped me, he asked me if I had been drinking, and I assured him I hadn’t and that in fact it was the radio program I was listening to that was making me crazy.  Then before I could tell him which show it was he cut me off and said ‘ is it the JK show?’ When I nodded he just ordered me to turn off my radio and let me go.

> You may be asking what is it that bugs me so much about this guy? In short its the self-righteous pompiety. He talks in this low calm voice demanding objectivity like he is this sports sage.  Someone must have told him that it doesn’t matter how crazy what you say is as long as its in a low calm voice. Too, he tries to set himself apart from the rest of the media claiming basically he has the exclusive rites to objectivity, and opinion contrary to his makes you a ‘moron’, when in reality he is as objective as Kate Hudson is about A-Rod.

> So in short if you want to enjoy a little condescension, listen Sunday mornings on ESPN radio to the JK show.

Its truly amazing this guy is still getting paid to offer his personal brand of alleged insight. His idea of colour commentating makes me long for my childhood when the sound didn’t work on our TV and my father chose not to fix it for a couple years. In fact during yesterday’s Colts/Texans I relived those abusive childhood years and muted the guy. I think it was the incessant use of that clever insightful expression ‘gee whiz’ that finally got to me. Hang em up Dan, its time.

Can you believe these guys, the self-proclaimed world-wide leader of sports and the best they can come up with on Sports Center is ‘Yankees end drought’? Are dictionaries not allowed at ESPN? As far as I know a drought would constitute more than waiting 8 or 9 years for a championship. The Cubs, now that’s a drought! Saying the Yankees ended a drought is like saying I was starving after not being to the drive through in the last 2 hours.

yup, he is brutal!
