Kirk Herbstreit announces the death of his service dog, Ben, beloved for crashing football broadcasts
Kirk Herbstreit, the chief analyst on ESPN's "College GameDay" and a co-host of "Thursday Night Football," announced the death of his golden retriever, Ben, a service dog whose appearances at football stadiums in recent years made him a beloved four-legged friend to the sports world.
Ben was diagnosed with leukemia and lymphoma in March and died Thursday after the cancer spread throughout his organs, Herbstreit said on X. He was 10 human years old.
