Cowherd did a great job of hitting him with medium-weight questions and the answers were refreshingly honest. Thanks for posting.

Say what you will about his show or the way he forms opinions only to be the "hot take" guy, but Cowherd asks the right questions. He should give a masterclass on conducting TV/radio interviews.
The guests never feel on edge, and his wording of questions stimulates topics within the answer that otherwise would not normally be brought up by the guest on their own. That's a challenge with sports broadcasting-- you're dealing with people who are either trained/coached to not say anything, or they're just not very talkative people who aren't used to being on TV. You have to really frame the conversation just right or you're probably going to get a non-answer that's awkward and boring to listen to.
