Football analyst Kirk Herbstreit says his beloved dog, Ben, has died at age 10. Ben was a golden retriever who gained fame for regularly accompanying Herbstreit to games and even appearing on set and the sideline. Herbstreit, who calls college football on ESPN and NFL games on Amazon Prime Video, posted on X that cancer had spread through his dog's organs and "there was nothing left we could do — we had to let him go." The 55-year-old former Ohio State quarterback said he's had dogs his whole life but "Ben was 1 on 1."
