Social media has been ablaze and oiled up over reports by Dan Orlovsky that he has sources telling him that Justin Fields’ work ethic and love for the game are in question. There have been some that have come to the defense of Orlovsky stating that he’s just reporting what he’s heard, but there has been a significant push back on creating a narrative without doing some further research from people closes to Fields.
Orlovsky was absolutely buried by some media members, fans, and keyboard warriors over the last couple of days, and he then walked things back a bit by releasing another video after he “did some further digging.”
But that hasn’t mattered to some, including former Ohio State quarterback and current ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit. He blasted Orlovsky by quote tweeting his video release Thursday, calling his reporting “RIDICULOUS,” “reckless,” and “absurd.”
😂😂😂
Absolutely RIDICULOUS.
Even if YOU aren’t saying it…
to pass that along from “people in the know” is reckless and absurd!! Embarrassing!! https://t.co/r0RFSr1B6y— Kirk Herbstreit (@KirkHerbstreit) April 1, 2021
There has been no comment back from Orlovsky yet, and we doubt there will be. Sometimes you want to just let things pass and get better with time. This seems like one of those moments.
