Colin Cowherd Now Has A Twitter Beef With Arian Foster

August 28th. 2011, 4:14pm

We all know and love Colin Cowherd around these parts. The controversial ESPN radio personality and SportsNation host is damn good at pushing buttons and making ridiculous claims that get people angry, inspire blog posts and draw incensed callers to help the cycle start anew.

Earlier today, Texans running back, Arian Foster expressed his lack of amusement with Fantasy Football owners on Twitter.

4 those sincerely concerned, I’m doing ok & plan 2 B back by opening day. 4 those worried abt your fantasy team, u ppl are sick

Enter Cowherd’s notoriously sharp tongue:

Hey Arian Foster— ‘We really do care about you as a human too. Um,now about that hammy? –signed, everybody

Foster responded with this tweet:

Did you want to be a critic as a child? Or did your dreams die with your humility?

He forgot the #shotsfired tag, but we’ll let it slide. Whose side are you on? The football player who doesn’t care about fantasy owners? Or the radio host with a penchant for annoying bloggers?

Damn, Foster absolutely owned Cowherd.

And I’d love Foster to take him down a peg or two.

Who’s side are you on?

Foster, fantasy football nearly sucks as much as Colin Cowherd

Cowherd should stick to things he knows about.

/like A.J. Burnett’s divorce

Actually I’m surprised that somebody at ESPN took five minutes out of TebowWatch to notice that Arian Foster got injured.

You could give the entire NFL 10 minutes to come up with a better response. That would still be the best one.

Too bad didn’t happen two weeks ago. It would have been in the culture tourney thing I don’t have no clue. We’d all be wondering who the 2% of people that voted clicked on Cowherd’s circle.

At least Arian Foster doesn’t have a website for Cowherd to call for a Denial of Service attack on, like what he did to this website some time ago.

Comparing it to the first tweet, I’m guessing he had help composing that one…

I listened to Cowherd for 10 minutes the other day. First time in a year. He was making a point that Hollywood only makes movies that people are going to go see in droves. And likewise, he’s only going to make points and talk about things that reach the same lowest common denominator. In other words, he called himself the Smurfs movie of sports radio.

Breesus Says:

When I listened he was justified all this attention that goes to Tim Tebow and Notre Dame because “most sports fans” only care about them because they have lives and don’t care about the score of the Marlins game.

/or something like that
//RATINGS!

Colin Cowherd are in a serious Twitter beef.

Trollface needs to be prematurely ‘shopped over Cowherd’s face.

Cowherd is a fucking troll. Suh should just shoot those laser beams from his eyes and melt that douche as soon as Colin calls him a dirty player which you know is coming.

Knowing what I do about Arian Foster, I’m guessing he didn’t.

I love to play fantasy football because I like to watch football anyways. But if anyone is out there inquiring of Arian Foster, they are idiots. That is true whether they play fantasy football or not. It’s just a stinking game.

Hi, I’m Bob and I’m a proud new member of the Arian Foster fan club.

/will try not to pronounce his name as A-ryan anymore.

//would root for Notre Dame if they cracked Cowherd like this

Foster’s agent is a good writer.

Foster’s agent is a good writer.

Cowherd should hire him then. It’ll keep him from getting owned on twitter.

Did anyone notice that was a joke? I guess sarcasm is lost on everyone. We don’t know Arian Foster so why would we care about his well being. If he didn’t play football we wouldn’t know who he was anyway.
The fact that Foster thinks that is criticism speaks to how sensitive he is. Fantasy football not withstanding, we just wanna know when he will be healthy so we can watch him on sundays. WE means sports fans by the way

Foster majored in philosophy at Tennessee…not exactly a typical major for an athlete. I don’t know if he got his degree, but I suspect he wrote the tweet himself.

I hate to admit it, but I’m on Colin’s side here. If it weren’t for fantasy football, nobody would give a shit about that hammy. Does anybody outside of Houston even careif the Texans win week 1? Of course not, many of us are drafting this weekend!!!
