ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit made a few questionable comments during Pat McAfee’s Kicking Contest this Saturday.
During this morning’s edition of “College GameDay,” McAfee offered $200,000 to an Oklahoma student by the name of Jack Daugard. In order for the accounting major to receive that hefty check, he had to make a 33-yard field goal in front of a packed crowd.

Leading up to Jack’s attempt, Herbstreit predicted that he’d launch the football into the stands. Clearly, he was wrong. Although there wasn’t a ton of room to spare, Jack cleared the uprights and made the field goal to win $200,000.
After the Oklahoma freshman celebrated with his peers, Herbstreit doubled down by making a pretty wild remark on live television.
“The scouting report didn’t have that going through,” Herbstreit said. “You son of a b***h.”

Several fans were really turned off by Herbstreit’s behavior. They believe he was mocking Jack because of his physique.
“Kid wins $200k on an amazing kick and Kirk Herbstreit uses the celebration to make fun of his weight. Smh,” one person said.
“Why was Herbstreit so upset about that,” a second fan asked.
“Body shaming a kid,” a second fan wrote. “New low for you Herbstreit.”
“Herbstreit in absolute awe that a chunky kid could hit a field goal,” a social media user said.

How much money has McAfee handed out this season?
“College GameDay” has only been on for the past two Saturdays, and yet, McAfee has already donated $550,000.
Last week, McAfee gave $250,000 to Ohio State sophomore Logan Pallo. He then handed $200,000 to Jack Daugard this Saturday. In addition to signing a huge check for Jack, he made a $100,000 donation to the Life Beneath the Well Foundation.
Suffice to say, McAfee’s bank account has taken quite a hit over the past seven days.
