Stephen A. was just singing from his gut & I think from his heart a bit — the night when he took his shot at Taysom. I gained more than a little respect for him when he openly endorsed Taysom specifically over Winston as quickly as the day after. He was truly impressed with Taysom's performance.
Cowherd obviously wants for Taysom to fail, & is setting himself up for a merciless smack-down if Taysom stumbles down the road.
