Fezzik Friday: Nationally syndicated (ESPN) sports-talk radio and TV personality Colin Cowherd has been hot with his football picks thus far this season, and he's made several references to moving the lines in Vegas when he gives out his picks on the air. While I didn't hear it first-hand, I'm told bookmaker Jimmy Vaccaro addressed that, saying something to the effect of "Not only does Cowherd not move the line in Vegas, he doesn't even move it in Bristol" (ESPN is headquartered in Bristol, CT). Cowherd has a big audience. Is his media clout strong enough to have an effect, or is Vaccaro right in suggesting he's full of it?
