First off. I have no use for Colin Cowherd. The man is a flaming jackass, just like this blog post’s headline says. He’s the kind of blowhard who says things to get attention and generate clicks.
And recently, he not only reached a new low as a sports commentator … he found a jackhammer and kept on digging.
He popped off a list of twenty QB’s drafted in the past ten years whom he says have no chance of winning a Super Bowl in the future. On that list were several noticeable Pittsburgh Steelers names. He said Kenny Pickett can’t win a Super Bowl. Right off the bat, Cowherd is full of shit; Kenny Pickett has only played half of one season, and this is his first year as a full-time starter.
Cowherd then lists Mitch Trubisky. Yeah, I might give him that one. I still think Trubisky has one good game left in him, I just don’t know when Steelers fans will ever see it.
Then he mentions a third QB who’s worn black and gold.
Dwayne Haskins.
Yeah. Dwayne Haskins. You know why Dwayne Haskins won’t ever win a Super Bowl?
Because, you cross-eyed chud, Dwayne Haskins was KILLED last year when he got hit by a truck.
And Cowherd read his name – maybe winced a little – and then kept on going like it was nobody’s business.
Okay. First things first. Dwayne Haskins was a draft bust. He ruined his time in Washington, he was cut, he joined the Steelers as a backup quarterback, and later fell to the third-string QB option.
But putting him on this list of QB’s who can’t win a Super Bowl now … when he died so tragically … is just a chisel-brained move.
Then again, it’s Colin Cowherd. In the pantheon of blowhard sports commentator know-it-alls, he’s in the same cesspool with Tony Kornheiser and Skip Bayless and Clay Travis. All of them are about as useful as a left-handed third baseman.
Freakin’ idiot.
Oh, and as for dogging Kenny Pickett … I hope someone saves that video clip and plays it in conjunction with the moment when Pickett, holding the Super Bowl MVP trophy in his hand, shouts out, “I’m Going to Disney World!”
Colin has been rumored to jump ship from FS1 back to ESPN. His including Dwayne Haskins, a year after Haskins died, was just an unfortunate slip-up. He should’ve done a Google search before announcing his list.
Then again, he does get a check from Fox, so he’s on the same plane as Skippy Bayless, Dirty Watters, Spam Hannity, et al……

I can’t disagree with your overall assessment of Cowherd, but the guy’s entitled to / gets paid for his opinion. And he is right about Haskins.
(Sadly, bad stuff happens when even a college-educated athlete:
– gets behind the wheel with a b.a.c. that’s more than twice the legal level, at 6:30 a.m.
– allegedly tests positive for ketamine in his system
– wanders across the traffic lanes of an interstate highway in the dark
– steps in front of a dump truck that’s moving @ 65 mph.)
