Daaammmnnnn… What’s going on with ESPN?

I think we can all agree that the first round of the College Football Playoff was a disaster, with literally every game being some kind of disaster. Ohio State was one of the teams that got a big win, defeating Tennessee by one point. 42-17 score Saturday night. But despite there being no drama on the field, thanks to the infighting at ESPN, it looks like we’re being taken care of now.

During the fourth quarter of the Buckeyes-Volunteers game, the duo of ESPN college football superstar announcers Kirk Herbstreit and Chris Fowler spoke with Ohio State head coach Ryan Day about his future in Columbus. became a hot topic of conversation.

“Come on, Kirk,” Fowler said. “How much does this soften the blow of the loss at Michigan? There’s more work to be done, right? So that people can forgive and forget about it.” (Related: Stephen A. Smith admits he regrets voting for Kamala Harris)

After speaking with Ohio State’s “insane fringe” about their thoughts, Herbstreit said the “nonsense” comments from Fowler came courtesy of his colleagues at ESPN, especially those working on the TV show “First Take.” Turn to your colleagues.

“But that’s not the reality,” Fowler said. “That’s the way it is. When you hear pundits talking about it with conviction on this network and elsewhere, frankly, it’s nonsense. The public will pull the trigger and remove the coach. No. The administrators are doing that, and they’re behind him.”

Herbstreit said, “First Mr. Take tried to fire him. They thought he was done. So I’m looking forward to seeing what they say on Monday after this performance. They kicked him out. They’re trying to find a replacement. But here he is. He’s still coaching.”

In defense of Ryan Day, Kirk Herbstreit took aim at:

Well, this was brought up on Monday’s edition of “First Take,” and co-host Shannon Sharpe wasn’t happy about it at all.

“If we’re going to be on the same team, if we’re going to work on the same network, don’t do that,” Sharpe declared. “Kirk, Chris Fowler, I promise you, if you ever bring up the platform I’m on again and say, ‘I’m going to say it’s a negative thing,’ I promise you. , ESPN doesn’t have a good enough boss to do that.” Let what I’m about to say alienate you guys… Don’t play with me. ”
