Kirk Herbstreit Says Urban Meyer Made Up Fake ESPN Headlines To Motivate His Florida Team

Joe Maiorana-USA TODAY Sports

ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit revealed this week that Urban Meyer would make up fake ESPN headlines to inspire his Florida team back in 2006. Per Saturday Tradition...

quote:
“Every coach in the country looks for an angle,” Herbstreit said. “We’ve been doing this a long time and Chris and I used to laugh — Urban Meyer in ’06 used to make stuff up. Just throw it out on their hotel meeting rooms and somebody would say something and he’d say ‘Just put it on Herbstreit or ESPN or whatever.’ But it would be a fake quote just to get his team mad.”

It works for the MSM, so why not use it to your advantage...

Let’s cut him some slack. Urban has spent so much time blurring the lines between right and wrong that he likely believed all of his homemade fake news. It’s not really a lie if you believe it, right?
