When he couldn’t get Cowherd’s name right, Mitch settled with calling him “Cow-dung.” Watch the video after the jump.

With our fair city being the “leading candidate” for the 2013 NFL Pro Bowl—which has been held in Hawaii for the last 20 years—Cowherd took to the airwaves to deem New Orleans an unsuitable host, largely because of the crime rate, calling the 10-time Super Bowl host “the least safe major city on the country.” On WWL’s Sports Talk yesterday afternoon, Bobby Hebert and Kristian Garic responded to Cowherd’s comments.
