Bloviating talking head ignores SF Giants dynasty with latest stupidity
This gasbag is in a class of his own.
SF Giants fans were not thrilled when FOX talking head Colin Cowherd said that MLB has not had a fynasty since the early 2000's. Cowherd is a clown, but his comments speak to the lack of respect the Giants get for their dynasty in the 2010's.
If you want to watch a clip of what Cowherd said, it is clipped here courtesy of KNBR who also very kindly spliced in the final out from all three of the Giants' World Series championships. He says it as part of a point he is making that he believes the best thing for MLB would be for Juan Soto to go to the Dodgers in free agency.
Yeah, right.
Colin Cowherd ignores SF Giants dynasty just like the rest of the national media
This article is not meant to dunk of Cowherd because he is not a serious person and his show and takes are not meant to inform or enlighten, instead they are meant to outrage and inflame. He is good at his job. Just a few weeks ago he said that Bo Nix was a better quarterback than Brock Purdy. The man is not serious.
But his ignorance about the Giants dynasty in the 2010's speaks volumes about how much of the national media views those championships. If it was the Dodgers or the Yankees who won 3 World Series in 5 years they would consider it a dynasty and they probably would have made a couple of 30 for 30's on it already.
But because it is San Francisco and because the national media still holds a grudge about Barry Bonds, both for his personality and his PED usage, along with the fact that the Giants did not play the flashiest brand of baseball in winning their championships, most of the national media just kind of ignores it.
Sometimes I wonder whether those three championships would even be mentioned in a future update of the Ken Burns Baseball saga. They do not fit neatly into any sort of major trend of baseball nor do they include an all-time great player. That is why the national baseball media just sort of views them as anomalies.
Who cares, though? The Dodgers can get all the praise they want for their fabricated Super Team. I would rather have those 3 championships the way the Giants won them, with homegrown talent and key trades or shrewd pick ups, than the way that the Dodgers bought theirs. The Giants' championships had heart and soul while both of the Dodgers' championships in recent years were fittingly fake and contrived for a team from Los Angeles.
The Giants now have a clear mission: stop the evil Empire any way they can. With Buster Posey at the helm, let's hope that they can create another dynasty that the nationa media doesn't care about. We wouldn't have it any other way.
