While he mostly covers college football for ESPN, analyst Kirk Herbstreit also covers the NFL from time to time. He is also known for his beloved golden retriever, Peter, who is often seen at many of the games he calls. As he arrived in Cleveland for the Browns vs. Patriots preseason game, he brought the beloved canine along.
While many celebrated Peter’s appearance during the game, others, such as Boston media personality Gerry Callahan, were not as enthusiastic about the dog being there or about the love it was getting.
“Jesus, dude. Give it a rest. You’ve got a dog. Seems like a good dog. We’re happy for you. Can we stop treating him like he landed on Omaha Beach? He’s a dog.” he complained .
While a few commented that they were tired of Herbstreit showing off his dog, plenty of fans still showed Peter all the love.
