I only watch ESPN for games and occasionally Sports Center for the 10 best plays. In baseball season most of them are just some guy jumping up to catch a ball, but it's cool to see some Little Leaguer or D2 college softball player make the top 10. Think of the thrill. (Just don't get stuck at a party with the kid's father.)
OK that's really cool!Quote:

I used to like McAfee but he's hot steaming garbage now.

I find his tank top and schtick to be grating.
Somewhere in the distant past he was entertaining, now he's ubiquitous and overplayed.
Like once a week for up to an hour…perfect. Agreed on the tank top. Whatever though I’m turning into a miserable bitch.Quote:

Exec: Give that man our #1 anchor chair for the next decade.
Damn....need a like button for this take. Unwatchable.Quote:

I've been watching Pat McAfee show long before it was on ESPN. I don't think it's changed all that much. I still watch the show almost daily, but watch on YouTube and pause it a lot. The YouTube show still has an extra hour at the end that is more unfiltered and the guys just joke around about stuff.
I don't agree with Aaron Rodgers conspiracy theory take on a lot of stuff, but his segments are usually pretty funny. The guys pretty much make fun of him for the tin foil hat shit and egg him on at the same time.
Lots of inside jokes with the show as well. It's a different brand of sports entertainment and if you can't understand that, then it's not for you.
Sports really don't need to be as serious as some make it out to be. Especially when you're just a viewer of the sport.
McAfee actually gets pretty good interviews. I don’t know if his goofiness disarms people or what, but gets good stuff
So can anyone go on his show and accuse YOU of being a pedophile? Just “talking shit”, right?Quote:

Really glad (a) I didn't watch this game, and (b) that the Cavs are out of it and I don't have to watch Stephen A. slobber all over himself and the Knicks. At least now he can move back to trying to will Donovan Mitchell to come to NY.
Ok, ESPN actually did something legitimately funny
