Overview
- Marchand posted on X that “no one cares about your hard travel” and expanded the critique on his October 13 podcast.
- He pointed to Saturday’s Eugene-to-Dallas dash—motorcycle to jeep to private jet—with on-air hits that featured choppy, locking-up audio.
- ESPN said Herbstreit logged more than 5,400 miles last week to cover Thursday Night Football, College GameDay, and an ABC game.
- Marchand called keeping Andre Ware on standby in Dallas disrespectful and suggested ESPN use a substitute or rethink the logistics.
- ESPN has not announced changes; GameDay and the ABC game are both in Athens this Saturday, and Herbstreit told The Dan Patrick Show he often wakes unsure which city he is in.
