Hansbrough's stickback to Cowherd, without even knowing it

Does anybody remember the pre-NBA Draft criticism that surrounded Tyler Hansbrough?

The guy was a first team All-American multiple times. He became the all-time leading scorer in ACC history. And all of the sudden the response was he accomplished that all energy and hustle alone.

Yeah.....talent wasn't in the picture right? Anyone who thought that is a dope.

I never heard this guy say Hansbrough didn't have the talent, but ESPN radio host Colin Cowherd once said on his show, "I will do a show in my underwear if Tyler Hansbrough ever scores 20 in an NBA game."

I don't think he ever followed up on that promise because I heard him once tell our Mike Maniscalco in an interview that his underwear looks like jeans and a dress shirt.

But Psycho T may have come up with the ultimate comeback for Cowherd without even knowing it. When Joe Ovies asked him (about 9:25 in) if he'd been invited on "The Herd" yet, Cowherd's radio show heard from 10-noon on 99.9 The Fan, Hansbrough simply replied, "Who's that?"

It's hard to tell if he really hasn't heard of him or if he knew what the deal was. But either way it worked. When told who Cowerd is, he gave a very nonchalant "Oh...okay."

Well done Tyler, well done.

Hansbrough career 20-point game tracker: 13 and counting.

Is that Cwoherd or Cowturd?

RE: Hansbrough's stickback to Cowherd, without even knowing it

Why would anyone listen or watch a non talent such as Cowherd. He say lots of stupid stuff. Stupid is stupid does. I still remember the deal with Sean Taylor's Murder.Cowherd made comments egarding the circumstances surrounding Sean Taylor's death. One day after Taylor's home invasion murder, Cowherd claimed that Taylor's past had brought this upon himself, and that Redskins fans who mourned him were not "grown ups." It turned out to be a botched robbery, and the robbers hadn't known Taylor was home when they entered.

Could care less what Cownerd thinks.

RE: Hansbrough's stickback to Cowherd, without even knowing it

his pre-draft critique was pretty spot on.

Second year in the league, and he's hitting 11 and 5.

Every team in the league has three of those guys....
