ESPN is killing it with the National Championship. MegaCast coverage on 3 additional ESPN channels is awesome. We are witnessing the future.

Kirk Herbstreit is tremendous. What a great job he does of tamping down his emotions to provide balanced commentary. #trueprofessionalism

Herbstreit does a great job of being a neutral non-bias commentator.
