"I think in these marquee events, I think networks have to step in and just say, 'You got to have specialists.'"
"What am I going to start doing? Ripping everybody everywhere? That wouldn't make a ton of sense."
"This is not about Stephen A. individually, but if you use Stephen A. for all of your big stuff... if everything is him, it doesn't feel special. It dilutes it."
"I hated to see it because I love LeBron, and I really like Stephen A. Smith. I like them both."
Cowherd attributed the move to his wife, Ann, and a desire to experience a new part of the country.
"I think there’s a lot of Democrats who are very quietly accepting the fact that their party has lost its way."
Cowherd also reported that people within the NFL believe Murray's latest December collapse is because defenses have figured him out.

"It made me super excited to hear him in real-time watch a football game."
"Brady's important for the company. It's a big move. He's Tom Brady, it's Fox, it's the NFL."
Cowherd believes Brady will work even harder knowing he has to replace a star broadcaster like Olsen.
"I was like, do I have to buy him a Range Rover? I didn't know, it's like he's a Hall of Famer, what do I do? How do I get him?"
"If everybody in your social circle is a felon, I don’t think it’s rigged."
