Harrison Smith gets no respect from Mike Tirico

Mike Tirico, sit down and let me explain something to you:

Harrison Smith” is the name of the Minnesota Vikings safety who played in Sunday night’s Pro Bowl. “Hunter Smith” is the name of a punter who used to play for the Indianapolis Colts.

Is it that hard to remember that his name is “Harrison” and not “Hunter?”

I like Mike Tirico as an announcer and want to believe he is not a knucklehead like that guy Mike Goldberg. Mr. Tirico, please learn the names of the players.

Harrison Smith is not some seventh round rookie or practice squad player barely hanging on.
