Just as Colin Cowherd whiffed on the fact that MLB teams can’t trade draft picks, the host completely struck out — and this time, it was worse.
During a recent episode of Cowherd’s radio show on FOX Sports 1, the host rattled off a segment about current NFL quarterbacks who can’t win Super Bowl 58 this February. At face value, it’s pretty standard fare for August, trying to fill the gaps between the dog days of summer and the NFL season.
There was just one major problem: Cowherd listed the late Dwayne Haskins, who died in April 2022 after a car tragically hit him. Even worse, at no point did Cowherd correct this error. He did, however, correct the list’s “can win a Super Bowl” typo. Because that’s apparently what was most important.
Otherwise, it was business as usual.
On today's show, Colin Cowherd mentioned Dwayne Haskins as one of the QBs who cannot win a Super Bowl.
This is factually correct, given that Haskins passed away 16 months ago. pic.twitter.com/L1PvtPLyY6

The Haskins error is by far the most egregious, but it’s not the only one on the list. For example, why does it feature guys like Blake Bortles, Johnny Manziel, E.J. Manuel, Paxton Lynch, and Josh Rosen? None of those quarterbacks are still in the NFL. Some of them haven’t taken a snap in years. By the very definition, they can’t win the Super Bowl, and they’re not even worth discussing in this context in 2023.
It’s almost as if both the graphic and Cowherd’s entire segment were recycled, save for some new additions because he had nothing else interesting to talk about this time of year.
And that might be the most charitable interpretation.
