Colin Cowherd Calls Out NFL Tweeter By Name

[dallasdave]

If they didn't feel the tweet was inappropriate and mocking why remove it? Obviously the guy was just being a jerk towards a player who doesn't deserve it.

It's lack of respect.

And this couldn't be further from the point.

yea..I highly doubt Tony's feelings were hurt. However it was unprofessional..that's the whole point. He was obviously pissed about the NFL cancelling his event. He spoke up about that.

Tony will roll on.

Tony is a pretty nice guy. People hate on him just because hes the quarterback of America's team. If he wasn't, you would't hear about him as much as he is on the Cowboys.

That made me cringe so hard. I literally couldn't finish watching that first video... sickening.

Would loved to have seen a guy run outside and pummel him in a chicken suit.....or should I say a cow costume

I vote for him being pummelled by someone in a chicken suit. Of course, I am a Family Guy fan so I'm bias.

He and Peter have had the most epic fistfights ever seen on television.

Yes sir. Just when you think it can't get any more ridiculous, they literally find themselves traveling through space and time while fighting lol.

and maybe someday we can have freedom from consequences because someone hurt someone's "feelings" on Twitter

So if you make the company you work for look bad on social media you should not have to deal with the consequences.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

What was the original tweet?

Whatever it was . . . words can hurt.

 

[CowboyGil]

Romo should be allowed to give him an atomic wedgie, then all is good...

or at the very least noogies or a purple nurple.

I didn't say he should be fired..but if you follow the story he was mocking him. That's pretty unprofessional to me. I actually doubt he's done that to any other team.

Well since you mention it, he actually has done something very similar to another team. The exact same guy who is a Jets fan (and I don't know why people are saying he is a Giants fan when his Facebook image is a picture of the Jets locker room) trolled Tom Brady in the wake of Brady's suspension being announced. No one outside New England gave a rat's behind - in fact, it looks like no one outside New England even knew about it. Oh sure, it got mentioned on a couple radio shows and Kornheiser said something about it on PTI, but it certainly didn't rile up fan bases from sea to sea.

I agree it is unprofessional. Problem is, no one gives a rat's behind outside the fandom of the impacted team. The guy trolls Tom Brady and no one outside New England cares (as I said, it's obvious that not all that many people outside New England even knew about it). Now he trolls Tony Romo and really no one outside Dallas cares. If anything, fans of other teams got a nice laugh over it.

EDIT: After further reading, I see McLovin brought up the Brady trolling so I should not have said "no one" in here knew about it. However, besides that one post, there's certainly not anyone in here that seems to even remotely care that the exact same guy did the exact same thing when it happened to another team.

 

[TheDude]

For those of us who haven't followed the story, can you provide context as to why "Hi Tony!" was mocking Romo?

Thanks.

NFL cancels a Romo event in Vegas at last minute (apparently knowing for many months) costing promoters and fans time and money.

Romo said it is unfortunate the NFL canceled like that and that the "NFL rule prohibiting players from being at an event sponsored by a Casino" (or on the propoerty etc) was hypocritical when the Lions and MGM are sponsoring something and the Saints and another Casino have a deal. some other issues about the NFL contacting players parents.

Is he trolling on his personal time or while he's on the clock for the League? He is just another critic if it is the former. If it's the latter, he's acting unprofessionally. And just because "no one cares" does not make an act any less wrong. It would simply reflect a lack of empathy. Humans have been indifferent to right and wrong far longer than the existence of toilet paper (which is why indifference probably originated the word oh heck family forum).

Thank you.

And this couldn't be further from the point.

If a point does not exist, can something be further from that point?

 

[Rogah]

To clarify: Like the Romo trolling, the Brady trolling took place on the official Twitter feed of the NFL, not his own personal facebook page or twitter account.

 

[BoysFan4ever]

Obviously this guy cannot help being a smart ***.

Maybe get him off your Twitter account NFL? Duh.
