Fox Sports personality Colin Cowherd made a bizarre blunder while making a comparison during a segment about the Buffalo Bills.
While talking about quarterback Josh Allen, Cowherd compared the signal caller’s ability to always get back in a game despite struggles to … wait for it … “the late” Mike Tyson’s old knockout punch during his boxing heydays.
The trouble to that comparison isn’t that Allen can deliver a knockout blow to opposing defenses. He sure can. It’s that Tyson is still alive and kicking. He is not dead. To Cowherd, however, he’s pushing up daisies.
To err is human, but to accidentally say a boxing icon is dead is quite a whoopsies!

The 56-year-old Tyson probably doesn’t appreciate being called dead when being compared to an NFL superstar quarterback. He probably doesn’t appreciate being called dead, period. It might hurt his contract negotiations whenever the next Hangover movie goes into production.
In all seriousness, Cowherd and crew may need to tighten up the fact checks. This recent clip about the Atlanta Falcons proves as much.
Cowherd and his little buddy are tearing it up lately. While discussing Ryan Tannehill possibly going the Falcons…
•Desmond Ridder is 0-3 as starting QB.
(He beat Arizona last week)•Calvin Ridley will be back with Atlanta!
