    About this audiobook

    There are really two games, the one you see and the one you don't. The way I see it, the best way to use access to both worlds is to illuminate and reveal, not idolize and adore. It's better to be wrong than to be played for a fool. - Colin Cowherd

    In this age of billion dollar athletic marketing campaigns, "feel good" philosophy with no connection to reality, and a Sports Media echo chamber that's all too eager swallow whatever idiotic notion happens to be in vogue at the moment, it's tough to find people who aren't afraid to say what they're really thinking.

    But that's where Colin Cowherd comes in. As his millions of fans on ESPN Radio and ESPNU already know, Colin is the rare sports analyst who's brave (or crazy) enough to speak his mind-even if it pisses some people off. Of course, it helps that a lot of what Colin has to say is simply hilarious. Lots of writers can tell you about Boston's storied sports history. But how many can tell you why the city of Boston is America's five year old? Lots of writers will brag about the stuff they got right, but how many will happily list all the calls they got completely and utterly wrong? Whether he's pointing out the stupidity of conspiracy theories, explaining why media bias isn't nearly as big a deal as many assume, or calling out those who prize short term wins over sustainability, Colin is smart, thought-provoking, and laugh-out-loud funny. Some of the questions he's not afraid to ask in You Herd Me! include:

    • Is Tiger Woods really a sex addict-or does he just have good PR?
    • Is "work-life balance" really the ideal we should all strive for-or is that just a way for people feel better about mediocrity?
    • Is talent really all it's cracked up to be-or can too much talent actually be counterproductive?
    • Is the X games really a sport-or would we all be better off if we admitted it's something else entirely?
    • Is Hell really a supernatural place of fire and brimstone-or is it actually just another word for living in Tampa?

    Unapologetically entertaining and packed with behind-the-scenes insights you won't get anywhere else, You Herd Me! is unlike any other sports book ever written.

      For those who follow Colin on his daily sports show not a lot new will be revealed here as he puts into writing his core beliefs and takes on sports and at times on life. I don't agree with some of what he espouses but he is never dull and makes his points well. I particularly liked his closing chapter on his solitary nature in a world that never disconnects. Overall a worthwhile read certainly for sports fans.

      One of my few non-fiction reads. Over the forty years that I’ve been reading for myself (as opposed to required by school or work) I’ve only stepped outside of fiction because I was a fan of their work, either at the time (Linda Ellerbee, Phil Gordon) or lifelong (Waylon Jennings, Craig Ferguson [so far]). It remains to be seen where Cowherd will fall. This book is an expanded and more detail look at topics he’s already covered on the radio. Essentially, nothing new but worth my time.

      I’m a fan of sports. A casual fan, not a fanatic that lives and breaths for their teams. Sure I love the teams I root for, but my weekend, even if it is the Superbowel, isn’t ruined if the team doesn’t come away with the victory. That is to say I want to be entertained by the athletes not live through them.That’s probably why I enjoy listening to Colin Cowherd’s daily radio show. For Cowherd sports are business and the athletes who play them are people. Sport is not religious metaphor and the athlete’s gods. In a culture that values athletic achievement far too high, Cowherd even with bombastic Type-A personality is voice of reason in world of sports talk radio. With a common sense approach Cowherd is able to cut through all the emotion driven hysteria that is universal across the dial. It’s this same approach that Colin has brought to his first book, that’s mostly about sports, or how we should view sports and the athletes who play them.Basically the book is a distilled version of what you get from his radio show. Normally his points are bit chopped up by the radio format and can be redundant at times. With the book Colin has the time and space to fully develop his ideas without the repetition. And even though I’ve listened to Cowherd for years and have heard him make similar points over and over again I still found myself nodding along in agreement. My one major sticking point with the book is that Cowherd uses almost exclusively modern sports and athletes to make his points. This aspect of the book will become dated fast as new and upcoming figures replace his examples. It doesn’t make what he says any less true but I think he should have relied more on his own writing talent and less on making parallels to current events. So in summation it’s retread for regular listeners to his show, but it’s a good retread.
