Honestly can listen to The Herd all day. Love this sportscast. Only 28 years old but I've been following Colin since about the age of 15. Produces amazing content, it's genuine, "Authentic"(Stealing his words). Also highly motivational when it comes to encouraging people to pursue their dreams. Keep up the amazing work for at least another 25 years!

[@kundaigotore992]

How’s life in your mid 30s?

[@smithnwesson990]

Hate him or love him this guy has great analysis and self awareness.

[@johnmoosey8173]

3 years later i stumble on this ...This is great....Dice Clay...im dying 😅

[@VargoProductions]

"Uh-oh! Those were my bosses shoes that I lit on fire!" Lol I just about lost it.

[@gregthomas3137]

Colin, you're analogies are always good but this has to be the best one yet!

[@JoolEAn92]

Agreed haha

[@theFORCEismyallie]

That is exactly how I feel about sports radio talk show host.

[@shyjames83]

Skip Bayless is Practical Joke Guy’s biggest fan

[@JuanTurks27]

I don't get the tebow reference? Not a joker at all. Pretty good human being. Overall not a great QB but an absolute winner and he took the broncos to the playoffs and won one. Can't take shit away from him.

[@YoungGzBlitz]

+JuanTurks27 he is not a serious QB he is too runny

[@princejay1082]

+IntoTheRing idk when i saw him in game dude had a killer instinct in his eyes he was setup to fail

[@jackjelf07]

referenced because both were hyped beyond belief and didn't do much in the pros.

[@lvnn_good6700]

Really though he hates on tebow so much the guy is a winner and he's religious that's why Colin has problem with him I honestly have had zero amount of respect for Colin cowherd seems like he always has a smartass remark to everything and always down grades people

[@gregthomas3137]

the comparison is that like the practical joker type comedian, and the gimmicky running qb like tebow and manzeil...once the gimmick is gone or isn't working, they don't have much skill left to sustain lasting success. Colin isn't saying either one is a jokester

[@johnward6860]

If you count the playoffs Tim Tebow had 16 starts, in those starts he accounted for 32 TDs 9 Ints and 3,926 total yards. That's 2 TDs and 245.375 yards per game he accounted for rushing and passing. He had 5 NFL records, 3 NFL firsts, and an NFL 3rd. Tim Tebow was the first quarterback in NFL history to rush for a touchdown in each of his first 3 starts. 3rd in NFL history to throw for a 30+ yard TD and rush for a 40+ yard TD in the same game (first to do it in his first start too), also he was the first QB to win a playoff game in the new overtime rules, he also holds the NFL records for longest rush for a quarterback in their first start, also longest rushing touchdown for a quarterback in their first start, most yards per completion in a playoff game, fastest overtime win, and fastest overtime win in a playoff game. Over two passing TDs for every interception and he ran for more touchdowns than the amount of interceptions he had. Almost 4,000 yards, a winning record, a playoff win, 2 TDs per game, 245.375 yards per game, and he accounted for 3.5555 TDs of offense for every Int. But all the “experts” care about is a low completion rating, for an offense planned for ANOTHER quarterback. They do not talk about the wins, or the firsts, the third, I bet you didn’t even hear them talking about his 5 NFL records. Also, in 2012 the players voted him the #95 player in the NFL for a year in which he only had 11 starts. If he started his rookie year and had those stats, he would have been the first rookie QB to pass for and rush for 10 or more TDs. He also would have held the records for rookie rushing touchdowns for a QB, and tied the single season rushing TDs record for a QB for a year, before Cam Newton broke them. Pro-bowl, All-pro, and Rookie of the year would seem obvious with all those records. Oh, he also ran for over 1,000 yards in those 16 games. When trying out for the Eagles, he completed 58.333% of his passes (3 were in the hands of receivers and dropped, so it would have been over 65%) 286 yards, 2 TDs, 1 INT, 82 rushing yards and a rushing TD. So he has improved his accuracy. During tryouts he had a total of 362 yards and 3 TDs for 1 INT. When the Jets didn’t use Tebow, their QB had 13 TD passes and 18 Ints, no rushing TDs and less than 200 yards per game. The Eagles are 29th in rushing and 26th in passing. 21 passing TDs, 17 Ints. Personally, I would prefer 32 TDs accounted for and just 9 Ints. If you count the playoffs Tim Tebow had 16 starts, in those starts he accounted for 32 TDs 9 Ints and 3,926 total yards. That's 2 TDs and 245.375 yards per game he accounted for rushing and passing. He had 5 NFL records, 3 NFL firsts, and an NFL 3rd.

When the Jets didn’t use Tebow, their QB had 13 TD passes and 18 Ints, no rushing TDs and less than 200 yards per game. The Eagles were in week 16, 29th in rushing and 26th in passing, Tebow was a safer passer, and we all know he would have helped the running game. 21 passing TDs, 17 Ints for the Eagles in week 16. Personally, I would prefer 32 TDs accounted for and just 9 Ints. 5 NFL records, 3 NFL firsts, and an NFL 3rd. 245 yards and 2 TDs accounted for per game. I’ll stick with Tim Tebow. Last years Rookie of the Year had 195.5 yards per game (49.5 less) 16 TDs (16 less) and 12 Ints (3 more) Think about that for a moment.

[@supervastgut1568]

+John Ward you know way more than the dozens of coaches, scouts, and professional athletes that say he is no good. You should go be a GM in the league dude, or a head coach. Or you could go back to your day job and stop being a fucking idiot

[@johnward6860]

+SvalinnGaming An idiot who has an IQ of 140 with day jobs, plural. 0 for 2.

[@supervastgut1568]

yeah because IQ scores matter, only measures the ability to learn, not actual knowledge, cant be too smart if you need 2 jobs to make 1/100th of the coaches that says he sucks, but keep acting all cool on the internet, nobody gives a shit since the bum still isnt playing in the league

[@johnward6860]

+SvalinnGaming You are the one getting all worked up over nothing.

[@rickjamez4987]

Comedy is subjective, like music, so you can't say he isn't funny indefinitely. I don't Dane's material personally but he is a great entertainer, and he had a huge following at one point. Some of his jokes about graffiti in the bathroom, etc is gold.

[@dennisjuicewoods5588]

+Cory F Dane Cook was not a great entertainer.

[@LalienX]

+Dennis Woods As he said... relative.

[@JamesBond-uz2dm]

The Browns drafted a drunk. So now they are benching the drunk. I hope Johnny Manziel finds sobriety soon. Not for his football career, but for the rest of his life. Huge egos can lead to a bad ending. He needs a second chance at rehab.

[@pjbarban]

Not appropriate to liken Tebow to a practical joker. The thing that really bothers Colin is that some people are more popular (with casual fans) than their skills deserve. Hence, Colin's real complaint is with the fans. But guess what, fan love is always irrational. In my opinion, Colin needs to grow up and overcome his dislike others.

[@isaacbarrow9155]

I'm a comedic genius. Lmao

[@ShowbizzGB]

your most accurate take by far Colin haha Manziel should be in his late 20s owning the league rn LOL

[@Juan_rivera]

he stole someone's material?

[@labatt50tablette]

I Love Labatt Blue tho

[@Nebz123]

Dice clay is well respected by comedic greats though. Bill Burr loves him

[@photovi]

when do you think the NFL will switch off the notion to hire social media QB

[@osu5inarow]

I know this is very cynical but the only reason Carlin didn't last longer was because he died.

[@kevinanderson961]

Rex Ryan was practical joke guy as a Head Coach which is why he didn't last.

[@robgordon885]

Manziel, Tebow and Dane Cook were all forced upon us by the media. I remember when Manziel was drafted and I saw all of these football analysts drooling over him like he was going to be the next Bernie Kosar. Tebow? Seems like a good guy, but he simply can't play quarterback in the NFL. Cook? Never thought he was funny. I put him in the same league with Larry The Cable Guy. You know what Larry The Cable Guy is doing now? TV commercials for Prilosec. You know where Dane Cook's movies are today? At the bargain bin next to Adam Sandler's movies for the past 10 years.

[@rval588]

Mr Cowherd, Put down that rock, and step away from your see through house!

[@Roman8341]

Damn that was harsh

[@Eddie-Van-Hammerlane]

Why can't I find Colin's commentary on Johnny prior to the NFL draft?

[@anthonyj.s.7266]

Anybody saw he couldn't throw

[@Komedy101]

The opinion is not whats bothering its the over relenting ego, masked by confidence.

[@Theo-lo1yc]

Manziel is now out of the nfl

[@russg1801]

At least Johnny Football COULD play in college. Was Dane Cook ever really funny?

[@fortydash1]

Russ G Dane sold out arenas during his prime, he knew his role and ran with it as long as he could

[@dantheman8152]

Wow

[@ther793]

What are you talking about andrew dice clay is one of the funniest people out there

[@arodgefan589]

Tebow was never practical joke guy though.

[@kevinc7161]

I don't think Tim Tebow should apply to Colin's comparisons. It's long known that super-spiritual people bother the NFL

[@cyrustpb6091]

Kevin C didn't stop ray Lewis from being successful tebow doesn't play because he struggles to complete half his throws

[@fortydash1]

Kevin C I know playing the persecuted Christian victim card is your fave but you're off on this one bud. The NFL is the most conservative sports league in the nation. Tebow is not playing b/c he is a pic machine, sub 50% accuracy and his nauseating fans create a sideshow no nfl team wants.

[@JOESPILLZ]

Kevin C EAGLES BABY! #SPIRITUALSQUAD and he hates them!

[@ashishnarayan4146]

Dice Clay is a genius. Stop this nonsense

...cause alot of smart people agree with him

+mrkackerwacker hes not smart.. he will be gone in a few years.. Manziel will be playing still

[@spiffy72985]

+Ash Check How old are you? Cowherd has been on the air in one form or another for the last 20 years, and has been consistently one of the top rated sports radio shows in the nation for the last near decade. Johnny Foobaw has been in the league for 2 years, has absolutely sucked, and has now be demoted AGAIN to third string because he can't get it together and simply doesn't have what it takes. You're really not very bright, are you?

You’re wrong about Tebow!!!!

[@senseiadam-brawlstars9465]

Is he good enough to be in the NFL after 3 years? No. Colin was right.

[@noahda3877]

I felt so weird watching this. You wanna know what bothers me Colin? Your bland attempts at humour. Like throwing in the grade 6 sound effects? Would've been hysterical... When I was twelve. How is Johnny Manziel comparable to a "practical joker" ? He's a white kid from a rich family with 'hood' tendencies. He's the first college QB to come up w/ the social media extravaganza going on at the same time. That's what all the hype is about. I don't know what 'weak arm' you're talking about? He may be 5'11 but he has a stronger arm than everyones favourite game manager Teddy B. Don't believe me? Go watch their respective pro days. Bridgewater in a t shirt and gym shorts threw wounded ducks all over the Louisville field. Manziel in full pads & a helmet threw missiles with surgical accuracy. What are you even talking about? The whole time I'm waiting for you to explain this bizarre comparison and it never happened. At least with Skip Bayless I'm laughing and entertained. You're just boring.

[@blackanimelover18]

How stupid you must look today....

[@fortydash1]

Noah Atnikov boring but he has his own show on a major network making more than a few million per year. Know your place

[@nicholas8336]

The "6th grade sound effects" were him playing on the point he was making. You'd think that's obvious enough.. lmao. Does he use the sound effects outside of this clip? You are clearly not intelligent enough to grasp this, which is why you typed an essay. No I don't believe you about football because you're just a kid who read some scouting reports

[@wolfstar675]

Tebow was so overrated, Manziel was overrated, Goff is overrated...
