ESPN Radio Host Makes Tasteless Comments About Guerrero Passing
Submitted by Daniel Pena on Monday, November 14, 2005 at 2:23 PM EST
Anthony P. Landrosh sent in the following letter to me. He said that he was listening to ESPN radio earlier today, "The Herd With Colin Cowherd", and Colin Cowherd said some rude comments about Eddie Guerrero's passing. He accused Eddie and other wrestlers of steroid use.
Cowherd said, "who cares that he died" and that Guerrero's death was not "newsworthy." He also started speculation on the "unknown causes" of his death.
Colin Cowherd has a subsite on ESPN.com, which you can visit by CLICKING HERE. He's the guy on the top banner of the page. His site also has an e-mail form where you can send an e-mail. CLICK HERE to visit the e-mail page if you have something to say to him.

Nate Dickey sent in the following...
Mr. Pena,
Your report of ESPN Radio and Colin Cowherd was shocking and horrible. I've contacted ESPN to complain. Please make another post informing the viewers of LordsOfPain.net that you can call ESPN at 860-766-2000. They can call, they will have to ask to speak to a customer service person, that way the voice of fans can be heard. Hopefully Colin the Coward Coherd will be fired. Thanks.
Nate Dickey
Also, Nate said that he talked to customer service and they said that they will tell the producers of Colin's Cowherd's radio show for a possible reprimand and punishment for Colin Cowherd. If you guys call by the droves, it'll definately make it all the more likely that Mr. Cowherd gets in trouble for what he said. Every phone call made to ESPN's customer service really helps.

Legacy.com has a memorial guestbook online where people can post their condolences and memories on Eddie Guerrero. The guestbook already has 46 pages of tributes from friends and fans. CLICK HERE to visit the guestbook. Thanks to Terry for finding the link.
Here's an e-mail Derrick Nonweiler sent me about people calling ESPN's customer service phone number to complain about the disparing remarks ESPN Radio host Colin Cowherd made about Eddie Guerrero earlier today when he said "who cares that he died" and that his death was not "newsworthy", among some other insensitive comments he made. ESPN has been getting phone calls in the droves from wrestling fans like you and they are really helping. It looks like this guy is going to get in trouble because of what he said about Eddie Guerrero. Once again, ESPN's phone number is 860-766-2000.
