Colin Cowherd apparently has been under a rock lately. During Tuesday’s episode of his FS1 show The Herd, Cowherd rambled a hot take that distastefully included former Washington Commanders and Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Dwayne Haskins.
Cowherd listed the former first-round picks that can and cannot win a Super Bowl. He named Dwayne Haskins on the list that cannot win a Super Bowl. His production team actually put Haskins’ name on a graphic. Unfortunately, neither Cowherd nor his team thought about the fact that Haskins tragically died last year.
Haskins had an up-and-down NFL career. But the insensitivity surrounding the late QB is astonishing. No one thought to say listing a deceased player, especially one who died tragically, may not be a good idea.
Production meetings can be hectic. So through all the preparation, somehow logic and empathy didn’t appear.
