The Herd with Colin Cowherd

author of Pipeline to the Pros, fascinating book, D3 Basketball to the NBA Connectivity

I went to my office and you did get me a present. It was Warren Sharpe's football encyclopedia, which he tried to send one to my house and he's like, what's wrong with your address? I literally sent him the wrong address. Yeah, yeah. You got to move to. I moved too much. It was the wrong address. Yeah. So he sent me one and said one to drop off to you. And yeah, he's an awesome guy. Yeah, he's a nice guy.

He's the hardest working man in print journalism in America. He has a book. It's called Out of the Darkness, The Mystery of Aaron Rodgers. It comes out next month.

It comes out next month. You know, as you've written this book, I don't mean to laugh, but Aaron's like a story a week guy. I keep thinking, do you have to keep doing updates for the book?

I handed in the book in January and at that point, after asking to get him for months and getting no response or being told he's thinking about it, assuming at that point he's not going to talk to me. Generally, my biographies have been unauthorized with limited or no cooperation from the main subject.

In February, I got a message from the Jets. He's actually now willing to talk to you. It wasn't a 10hour sitdown, but a factchecking hour or two. I got two hours with him and great. He answered some questions and made the book better.

Aaron Rodgers was a very difficult subject. I thought Belichick was tough, but compared to Rodgers, I think Belichick was a walk in the park because he was a mystery.

He just wrote a book. He covers college football and he wrote a book calling The LEGENDARY BOWL, Deciding the College Football Goat.

He has a new book out, LEGENDARY BOWL Decided College Football Goats. I dove into it a little bit this morning.

This book is scheduled to come out on June 10th, correct? That's right. At 8pm it'll be live on Amazon. Both, you know, the Kindle ereader version as well as paperback and hardcovers.

If you go over to Amazon, put it in LEGENDARY BOWL, it's going to populate. You're going to get your ereader Kindle version paperback as well as hardcover.

And I would say for any college football fan, it's kind of like a fun beach read... it's a perfect thing to go into the nostalgia time machine.

Like a recent episode with author and podcaster Glynis McNicol on her new memoir, I'm Mostly Here to Enjoy Myself. It's all about seeking pleasure in middle age.

there's a book that we both just read called Revan.

we're going to do a kind of a summary reaction to the Revan book.

She has written a book, Nobody Cares About Your Career, which I laughed at because I watched a standup comedian on TikTok a couple of days ago.

I think Nobody Cares About Your Career is exactly that, which is it's a good reminder that really nobody cares what you do all day.

I love that line and that's really the essence of this book, which is your career is built over a lot of mundane, ugly days with a thousand obstacles.

In chapter six of your book and the book again, Nobody Cares About Your Career.

The book is Nobody Cares About Your Career. Erica, you know how highly I think of you...
