ESPN's Joe Tessitore and Jesse Palmer threw back some Guinness on college football broadcast in Ireland

Saturday’s ESPN college football opener went all the way across the pond to Ireland, and broadcasters Joe Tessitore and Jesse Palmer made sure to honor the occasion during the game.

As Florida State and Georgia Tech battled on the field, Tessitore and Palmer decided to enjoy a couple of Guinness pints and even generously shared a sip with an ESPN cameraperson.

Hey, it’s Week Zero, so you might as well throw one back in the booth before the full day’s slate of games really kick in, you know?

We raise a glass to Tessitore and Palmer (and the ESPN cameraperson) for a job well done to kick this year’s college football season off on the Emerald Isle. This brew’s for you.
