Kirk is probably the hardest working media guy in football and is also one of the best at his job.

Side note: Kirk Herbstreit moving on up to the pearly gates will be when I realize that I am not that far from death myself.

He's killing it outside of the one shitty commentt about the heisman moment for nix in the 1st half on a 2 yard shite pass.

He’s working hard, is knowledgeable, studies the game, and does a good job. There’s always something to not like or disagree with, but he does a good job. Fowler too.

He might even break down and cry

Yea I’ve always loved Kirk. I’m sure someone will bring up the crying thing or whatever but the dude is as good as it gets at what he does. Him and Fowler I think are the best announcing duo in all of sports.

ETA: there it is

Gets hammered with Fowler after the game. Kinda miss when they used to do recaps on IG after games on their bus. Herbie and Fowler just kicked back with a glass talking sports.

You know he does that every week right?

Kirk is the GOAT by far

yea but he usually has Friday off to at least buffer it some

Plus there’s a lot of times where gameday and his Saturday announcing gig are in the same place (in know there’s also a lot where it isn’t but still)

Babysitting Corso during Game Day is a full time job.

Herbstreit is squeezing three straight nights of play-by-play around that task.

Herbstreit is terrible on NFL games but good on college games. His problem is that he calls the pro game the same way he calls the college game and complements aspects that are routine in NFL, but rarer in college.

He also can't really comment at all on nfl players mindsets or behind the scenes aspects because he doesn't know about them.

Go watch a game by Collinsworth and a game by Herb. Chris and Romo see stuff that Herbie does not.

Probably doing the ACC championship in Charlotte tomorrow night too right?


Then after all that he flies back home to Nashville. Vegas to Atlanta to Charlotte to Nashville in a day's time is wild.

The comment was bad I would bet he would say as much a week from now. These guys have to talk to for almost 4 hours and are locked in on making it as exciting as possible it wont all be perfect.
