Colin Cowherd mistakenly lists late Dwayne Haskins on quarterback list
Fox Sports host Colin Cowherd had a bit of an unfortunate slip up during his show regarding the late Dwayne Haskins.
During his opening monologue, segueing off a segment about rookie quarterback CJ Stroud, Cowherd listed his quarterbacks who can and can’t win a Super Bowl. The caveat was those drafted since 2013.
Unfortunately, Cowherd left Haskins’ name on the list of those who “can’t” win a Super Bowl. He also mentioned him by name.
Cowherd stumbled during his reading of the list, but only pointed out the graphic wasn’t written incorrectly, at the top. It said “can” when it should’ve said “can’t.”
Either way, it was a rough look for Cowherd to not acknowledge a glaring mistake regarding Haskins, who passed away tragically in 2022.
Cowherd referred to the list once again during the 2 p.m. ET hour but the graphic about quarterbacks who “can’t” win the Super Bowl was not shown, nor was Haskins’ name mentioned.
Attorney provides details in Dwayne Haskins death, files lawsuit
Rick Ellsley of The Ellsley Law Firm sent out a press release announcing a civil lawsuit was being filed on Haskins’ behalf due to “previously unseen evidence,” shared to Twitter by NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
“Dwayne Haskins’ attorney has filed a lawsuit one year after Haskins’ death — based on previously unseen evidence,” tweeted Rapoport.
After rehashing many of the details regarding the motor vehicle accident in which Haskins was killed, the press release examines questions regarding the situation, alluding to the former NFL quarterback’s death being a set-up.
“Many questions remain as to why the truck driver did not avoid hitting Dwayne given the highly visible activity in the area before the impact and the fact that the other drivers did not hit Dwayne,” wrote Ellsley. “The truck driver’s cell phone records have not yet been disclosed. The report also notes that the driver refused to provide a blood sample to the police at the scene and still has not provided the alcohol test results.
“As to what occurred in the hours before Dwayne was killed, many questions remain unanswered. It is believed that Dwayne was targeted and drugged as part of a blackmail and robbery conspiracy. In fact, his highly-expensive watch was stolen from him shortly before his death.
“The filing of this lawsuit is an important step in the process of uncovering the complete truth about this tragedy. The civil justice system allows for subpoenas to be issued for critical documents and for sworn testimony to be taken of people who have knowledge about the events leading up to Dwayne’s death.”
