Kirk Herbstreit Doesn't Hold Back Thoughts On Taylor Swift Coverage

by Larry Leo

February 14, 202432 Comments

In a recent conversation with Pastor Levi Lusko on "Faith and Football," ESPN's Kirk Herbstreit gave his two cents on the whole Taylor Swift/Travis Kelce situation...

quote:
I don't get the 'broken football' part of it. I don't know a whole lot about Taylor Swift, I know a lot about football. I called a game with Al Michaels this year with the Chiefs. She was there. We talked about it in our production meeting. 'Ok, how many times are we gonna show Taylor Swift?' And I think Al Michaels, who is the best to have ever done it, was in total control of 'hey, when it's warranted, we'll cut to her.' I think we cut to her one or two times throughout the broadcast.

It's amazing how everything's a thing in today's world. I don't know how she's become a negative thing. Travis Kelce and her seem to have a great relationship ... That's kind of our new world. Has been for the last three-and-a-half, four years.

It's a negative when a touchdown is scored and the cameras show her before the replay!!!!

so every time they showed Joe's parents excited when he was playing for LSU they shouldn't have?

I was hoping after Covid that the world would have a better understanding of what's important in life and this ridiculous celebrity worship would die on the vine. But it didn't.

But it would be nice if the world realized that it's more important to focus on yourself than the lives of people you're more than likely never going to meet.

Best way to put it Kirk.

It detracts away from football! I tune in to watch football! Nothing against her personnally, but if I wanted to watch Taylor Swift, I watch MTV or something like that! I shouldn't tune in to watch a game and half the time, have to watch Taylor Swift! Even on ESPN.com and NFL.com! I shouldn't be seeing Taylor Swift as the headliner on a sports website! It's gotten out of hand and that's why people are starting dislike this whole situation. Or, at least, that my position on it.

Kirk knows good and frickin well they cut to her for ratings, it's not a mystery. And I dispute the fact that he "knows a lot about football"

Kirk will always go along to get along. I think we all learned this when he sobbed like a baby on TV.

He is right. Everything is sensationalized these days. Everything. And sometimes a nothing is turned into a something.

Herbie is so full of himself now and his takes lack any insight into the typical fans thinking. He’s hard to like.

Herbie is as good as it gets

'hey, when it's warranted, we'll cut to her.' - and that should be zero times, because it is not warranted.

He is right

If she runs out and grabs the tee after a kick-off...show her every few kicks.

Nobody cares but Kirk and teeny boppers

Kind of sums it up: "It's amazing how everything's a thing in today's world. I don't know how she's become a negative thing. Travis Kelce and her seem to have a great relationship ... That's kind of our new world. Has been for the last three-and-a-half, four years."

Now start crying about whatever ESPN tells you to care about.

You think non-LSU fans got tired of seeing Joey B's folks in the stands all the time in 2019?
