As Twitchy reported, Brit Hume and other Twitter users hilariously mocked retiring Dan Dierdorf’s befuddled announcing during the Colts-Patriots game on Saturday. The snicker-fest didn’t end there, however. Enter Greg Gumbel’s farewell speech to Dierdorf:
I liked Dan Dierdorf as an analyst. But if I laughed any harder after that awkward horse conversation with Gumbel, I would have needed CPR.

Still trying to wrap my head around the "If there was a horse and a sunset, you'd be riding into it" goodbye speech Gumbel gave Dierdorf

Gumbel to Dierdorf: "if there were a horse here,you'd be riding off into the sunset." Dierdorf: "It would have to be a Clydesdale."

I told you Dierdorf would ruin Gumbel's goodbye by opening his mouth.

Giggles, yet also shudders. Many found the speech and the bromance disturbing.
Dan Dierdorf. Horse. Sunset. Greg Gumbel's awkward goodbye. @EdgeofSports @popsspotsports pic.twitter.com/xQJjSs5vDa

Gumbel's little send-off speech for Dierdorf made me extremely uncomfortable. "If there was a horse riding into the sunset, you'd be on it"

Only thing worst than the outcome of this game is the endless Dierdorf love-fest by Greg Gumbel #vomit

What is up with the bromance that Greg Gumbel and Dan Dierdorf got going on now? #ItsFootballnotEHarmony

Hey, Dierdorf and Gumbel, there's a football game on, quit talking about how much you love each other. #colts #Patriots

This account tweets what I'm thinking often.“@NotKennyRogers: If Greg Gumbel and Dan Dierdorf make out right now, I'm turning the channel.”

Coulda swore Greg Gumbel and Dan Dierdorf were about to make out there.

Gumbel should just give Dierdorf a big kiss and get it over with. Kinda getting uncomfortable in the booth. #DierdorfRetirement

Shockingly tender moment – Dierdorf shushes Gumbel with a single finger – "Ssssh.. I know" #patriots #thenotebook
