Cowherd is, at the very least, entertaining. He takes interesting stands on a variety of sports issues that require at least some thought. He is more inclined to take "unconventional" positions than to go along with the crowd, and this, in and of itself, can lead him off course at times.
One of his best guests is named Cosell, who analyzes NFL players and does an exceptional job. I have heard no one else in the talking head business as carefully analytical as he is, often leading to surprising results.
Cowherd is not forthe faint of heart. He is brash, and can be absurdly funny. I'm not sure there is an "over the top" for him. One minute he appears thoughtful and well reasoned, the next he's on a Jihaad, complete in its overreaction.
In many ways, he is a bit like Stephen Smith...but without the screaming and fake outrage.
His show is easy to take interest in, and that says something for a talking head sports show.
