Colin Cowherd is known for not holding back on his opinions on anything, so today he decided to discuss Johnny Manziel’s decision to enter rehab. He mentioned a few months ago how everyone bashed Skip Bayless for saying Manziel had a problem with alcohol and went on to defend Skip.
“I’ve worked in this business 35 years. Skip outworks all of us. The hardest working guy when I got into this business was Jim Rome … That guy grinds it every day. You don’t know anybody that works like him. This radio business I’m in is full of guys who read the sports page and rip crap off. I’m here three hours a day. So is Rome-y. Dan Patrick doesn’t work as hard as Rome — not even close. That’s why I’ve always respected Rome-y. He puts the time in. Patrick needs 35 producers to fill a segment.”
Cowherd and Patrick don’t like each other due to a media squabbles going as far back as 2012 around the time of Junior Seau’s suicide.
