My dad told me not to hate, but I hate Kirk Herbstreit..

[Mister Defense]

I thought I would turn on the strange new pro bowl to see what it was like, if worth watching.

 

But then...I heard his voice, and very soon knew it had to be him...

 

Speaking of Huntley, he said he had the ability to "spin it" and  soon after that,  referred to the "big fullback".  

 

These were in his very first sentences, these cliches and clutter, the inane, useless drivel that caused me to turn down the sound when he spoke on Thursday Night Football this year and to not watch some games.

 

And, if he holds to form, and he always does, not enabling the dramatically better Al Michaels to get a word in edgewise all year, he will feel the need to FILL almost every second of the broadcast tonight with similar inane, useless jargon, all in his monotone, humorless voice.

 

Worst color commentator I have ever heard in my life; cannot believe this guy gets away with this crap.  Writer David Halberstram rightfully calls Herbstreit "the village idiot"

 

A deal breaker for me tonight! I turned it off.

So you didn’t listen to your father.

Did you mean to hit “SUBMIT”?

I figured I could have 1-2 gimmes in life, so, yeah, using it on a color commentator I will never meet.

 I think so

Fun fact: once you're an adult, you can make your own decisions.

 

Hate away!

Okay, good advice-?, but now opening up the floodgates..

 

I left the game on as I sat at my computer--I hate this new pro bowl too.

 

But the perfect useless game for Kirk.

Fair enough! It’s maybe just that I personally notice the commentators less than the average bear around here.

What would your dad think about Her street?

[Brianmoorman4jesus]

No matter what anyone thinks of the regular game, watching 5 min of this…bring back the normal game please

I would hope he too would not want to drive down it.

 

But I am pretty certain he would have hated this new 'game'.  Yikes.

 

This is what they came up with?!  Seems like the same great minds that thought Hebstreit would be the best announcer for it created this new 'game' as well.

Funny story, a friend of a friend of a friend showed up to pitcher night at the bowling alley about 18 years ago wearing a Herbstreet Ohio State throwback jersey. It was so incredibly stupid, I couldn’t stop laughing at him until I realized he was ready to kick the crap out of me and I had to weave a tale about my cousin wearing number 4 and being obsessed with it and so on.

did you like the old one? theyre unwatchable. nhl is always a fun one, skills comp is a fun event every year.  the only nfl allstar thing id have any interest in is actually madden, but a 7m clip. its just pointless

it would’ve been much better if they would’ve got the commentators from dodgeball to do this

[zow2]

Actually, if i had to pick a flag football team, Huntley might be my first choice.  He can run around and zing it to open guys.  Definitely better than in the tackle game.

[Danger Mouse]

The Pro Bowl came as a bit of a surprise if you (like me) didn't realise they'd changed the format.

Herbstreit's biases in CFB are even worse than his typical regurgitations of Dan Fouts-isms. So many bright bulbs to choose from to give thoughtful commentary, and they pay this near ChatGPT-level lunkhead to bloviate incessantly. Do better DisneyABCESPN*Insert next purchased entity*.
