Now, Now, Herbie, Let’s Not Bash the Co-workers

Didn’t ESPN’s Kirk Herbstreit learn to play nice while at Ohio State? Between what you’re about to read and the Steve Breaston ‘worthless’ comments, you have to wonder if someone needs to check their ego.
A reader sent us a link to this Dec. 4 column in the St. Petersburg Times, where Herbie drilled an ESPN reporter on air:
ESPN’s Kirk Herbstreit took a swipe at one of his own, ESPN reporter Joe Schad. When talking about which coaches might fill various openings, Herbstreit said, “(According to) Joe Schad, every coach in the nation is up for some of these jobs. One of them will stick!”
We poked around the Worldwide Leader in an effort to ascertain why a wealthy, on-air personality would heartlessly slam a young reporter at his own network. Our sources say this isn’t the first time Herbstreit has taken a shot at one of ESPN’s intrepid team of college reporters, and Herbstreit has been told by higher-ups to apologize to Schad for his transgression. No clue whether or not that’s actually happened.
Man Herbie, what a letdown. We’ve long been a fan. And this year, because your star has risen meteorically at the network, suddenly, your shit don’t stink. How much gloating will we be forced to endure when OSU pounds Florida in the National Title game?

Herbstreit is such a homer and a mark for his own voice. I despise him with as much energy as Khan hated Captain Kirk. I can only hope and pray that OSU gets its ass kicked by Florida so this pretty boy prima donna can shut the hell up. I’ll even put an extra 10-spot in the collection plate on Sunday night.

Man Herbstreit get it straight. You’re always a homer on gameday and now THIS! This is low and even for you. Calling out a Michigan player like that is just dirty. I know you hate them, but still lets go see you return punts for touchdowns will ya?!! Come on man show some class. Michigan has way more class the OSU and everybody knows that. Way to make a complete and total idiot out of yourself. By the way GO BLUE I LOVE THE MAIZE AND BLUE!!!!!
