‘Train wreck’: ESPN College Gameday crew rips Cowboys during Monday Night Football promo

From @ToddBrock24f7: Kirk Herbstreit & Co. didn’t hold back on their thoughts on the Cowboys as they promoted this week’s Monday Night matchup with the Texans.

Saturday mornings are great. For football fans, it’s a time to sleep in a bit, turn on the TV, and then see where ESPN College GameDay is this week in what has become a ritual for millions: preview the day’s collegiate matchups, break down some Xs and Os with Nick Saban, listen to a possibly-shirtless Pat McAfee get riled up, throw in a tearjerker story from somewhere, watch some kid (probably) shank a field goal try, read some clever signs, and wait for Lee Corso to maybe put on a silly mascot head before settling in for a day’s worth of the sport we love.

Even if the pro team you follow is in the middle of an unequivocal stinker of a season, Saturday morning is a safe space where you can soak in all the competitive spirit and rich pageantry of the gridiron without being reminded of how badly your Sunday squad sucks.

Unless you’re a Cowboys fan.

With the GameDay crew broadcasting live from Athens, Ga. in advance of the Bulldogs-Volunteers clash later in the day, ESPN also took a moment to tease their upcoming programming- namely, the Week 11 installment of Monday Night Football that will pit the 3-6 Cowboys against the Houston Texans in a primetime battle for bragging rights within the Lone Star State.

And hoo boy, Kirk Herbstreit had things to say.

Coming back from a commercial break, Rece Davis read his scripted voiceover of the obligatory promo… and then absolutely teed up his deskmate and Thursday-night NFL color man.

“Boy, things are going great in Dallas,” Davis snipped.

“Just keep putting Dallas in those high-profile windows,” Herbstreit taunted, to the snickers of the other hosts. “They just keep losing games. That is a train wreck. A train wreck.”

“And they keep talking,” prodded McAfee.

“Great body language, if you watch them play,” Herbstreit added.

“Other than that,” Davis wrapped up, “what’s your opinion on the Cowboys?”

“Awful,” concluded Herbstreit.

Enjoy your Saturday, Cowboys fans. Heck, this week we even get a bonus Sunday to just be casual observers.

But sadly, the train is going to just keep coming.
