I like Colin Cowherd. In part because he's about as candid of a sports talk guy as I've heard. He constantly acknowledges that his job isn't to be the most informed or likable or diverse talk show host. His job is make ESPN money and the way to do that is to say things that get an audience reaction and generate phone calls. That drives ratings. That makes money.

I also think he's pretty funny most of the time and he's more knowledgeable about Pac-10 college sports than most guys on national talk radio. But he earns points with me for being honest and candid.
