Props to calling him out by name. Most would just say “sabotage from within” and not name names or not even say that at all. Love that he’s willing to do it on air
Clearly, a guy who isn't afraid of his relationship with ESPN ending. I think he feels confident he can do it his way and still make a good living( even if the ESPN contract is terminated). Kudos to him and wish we were all able to call out superiors that stink. Very few of us can successfully get away with that.
No bro...youre not burning bridges only with ESPN, youre telling other big media youre a problematic player and a headache...and believe me to them youre repleaceable...McAffee's agent and manger needsto get his off he cuff outbursts in check...need to be smarter....believe me, TV 101, this attitude got Letterman off the Tonight Show
They approached him, when he retired from the league, he approached ESPN or sports network, they told sorry Pat, we don’t hire punter, he’s like ok, years later they hired him for college game day last year, no one watched the show until he joined the crew. ESPN approached Pat this time and wanted to hire him, Pat like ok, this time you have to hire all my team not just me and I also get to run my show.
Ok airborne wokeboy. Anyone that doesn't bend over for Democrats and liberal narratives of wokeness and covid hysteria or for pieces of shit like Kimmel and Fauci is a flat Earther. Lefties are the ones that don't believe in science, they can't even tell the difference between a man and a woman.
Screw ESPN they getting butthurt abht Pat speaking the truth the amount of eyeballs Pat has brought back to ESPN is insane Keep killing it Pat your awesome and Screw the haters
I think its more that Pat just let Aaron say some slanderous things about Kimmel. Even if he was "joking" theres a certain line that should't be crossed.
@olyokie I'm not a fan of Rodgers at all. I like Pat. But nowhere close to some crazy fan. I watch him here and there because he's better than the other terrible ESPN sports analyst. Again, it's called freedom of speech. They did nothing wrong.
It's funny, I wondered if ESPN was acquiring the show to simply bury it, vanilla it down to lose interest and knock out what appears to be competition.
That makes alot of sense. Its seems not to be working out. PMS is still one of the best sports shows out there. And Pat would leave and go back to the RUclips setup in a heartbeat if he absolutely had to.
That’s what it seems like. A merger/aquisition type setup that companies do to take out competitors but it’s hard with Pat because he is the brand. Pat was smart to do the deal with them because RUclips can push a button and all your stuff is done. He needed the hedge of ESPN combined with YT. I see it getting legally & contractually ugly in the future though.
I don’t get that. I think ESPN is at war with itself and is split into two camps. You can see some of the guys there jumping for joy (most of game day crew, Stephen a, Greenie) that he’s reviving them, but you also see some old heads absolutely loathing him. I think it’s entirely possible. ESPN isn’t monolithic and not all producers are completely aligned on everything. Seems like a toxic environment and they are trying to figure themselves out.
Rodgers rooted out a rat in GB. He intentionally gave some misinformation to someone involved with the team (and only to that person) and when it was leaked to the public, Rodgers knew who the rat was. Rodgers is smart that way
It's the classic play. You give a different piece of false information to everyone you believe to be in your "inner circle". Whichever piece/pieces of false info get out, you can trace directly back to the rat. This is the way.
He just said it isn't ESPN doing it to him. He said it is a specific individual at ESPN. Don't turn one person into the whole corporation. We have this practice of turning one person's deed into a collective action and it lets these individuals slide. One person can always hide behind the name ESPN, but Pat called him out specifically and we should call him out specifically as well instead of being lazy. A specific person is the problem here. That person deserves the hate. Pat wanted more time at home and ESPN provided that for him. They aren't the evil empire just yet.
Everyone warned that 1 rogue ESPN employee was going to try to sabotage the show? I don't quite think that's exactly what "everyone" was warning Pat about...
@@RyTrapp0 He was warned about ESPN in general. How they would not accept "his show", Pat assured us all that was not going to be an issue and here we are, a top dog at ESPN doesn't like the freedom of speech, or comedy Pat always allowed that made Pat's show his and put him on the map.

Shut up Steven A. You suck!

PTI? Lmao that show is beyond scripted. Just like around the horn and all those other shows. You live in an echo chamber and you dont realize it. Everything on ESPN is trash and the only reason it might work out for pat is because they dont own him
A. Rodgers Your Tuesday Show needs to speak logically & rational regarding : your bizarre assertions regarding Jimmy Kimmel, & now potentially destroying Pat McAfee's career. A. Rodgers apologize & return the money your being paid for your appearance on the Pat McAfee show is a start to restoring your integrity & honesty. Plus the future of the New York Jets
ESPN is Disney. Disney is ideological, and while they’re more than happy to glom onto something or someone that is very successful, they also want those same people to play ball their way. Disney is in the Pat McAfee business, but they also want to control Pat McAfee completely. I don’t see this relationship working out for ESPN. Pat McAfee’s authenticity is why he’s so popular, and Disney and “authenticity” simply don’t go together
You think it’s as innocent as “ideological”? Disney was an avid supporter of the Nazi agenda. Helped Nazis escape Europe into South America. He was a bad guy.
I'm from Cleveland,we love ur show my brother, I love how real u are and if ESPN don't like it tell them kiss ur ass u was doin fine without them anyway....
And this is how we know Pat never sold out. No sell out would bite the hand that feeds this viciously. Good in him for putting his principles before the bag
When Drew Brees had to grovel and apologize for supporting the National Anthem that was the clear sign that it had become authoritarian. Rodgers is next level and forging new frontiers.
shit i remember when John Mcenroe said Serena Williams wouldn't rank in the top 500 (or something like that) of men's tennis players and the media went completely psychotic. Robin Roberts and a couple other goofs brought him on a news show and was asking him to apologize. Mcenroe was like "apologize for what? My opinion?"
Just wait until the off season hits. He now has access to way more licensed content including hockey and basketball. I was super skeptical about the ESPN move. Show has not changed much, but access has improved immensely.
Disney hates internal crap like this. Should be interesting. I have never seen anything like this before. Either this Norby character goes, or Pat will leave. No compromises here. Disney hates this stuff. Good luck to Pat.
Do you want him to remain real or be a sell out? Sounds like you want him to be a sell out and then you’ll complain about how he sold out? Dammed if you do, dammed if you don’t with you mf’s.. he’d be a sell put if he let them bully him and didn’t speak up.
@@PeterSedesse If he remains the same, is it really selling out? Admittedly I haven’t been watch the show as much lately but as far as I can tell, pretty much nothing has changed. A couple pretty minor things, sure… but nothing major

Hey, Fact is, Pat don't need ESPN and I think there are more brass IN ESPN that does like what's happening together, this shit don't really matter. Maybe someone needs to find a new project to focus on elsewhere. Fact is, I haven't watched ESPN in years, they got all sideways - and there was better stuff out there - PMS, example. Started watching it little more. Got some good people, vets, knowledgeable people and fun to listen to. I'm gonna watch Pat no matter where he is so, ESPN for me don't mean shit. So I imagine ESPN won't be stupid and mess up a good thing. If not? their loss alone. Maybe people will show Pat the respect he's earned, (not deserved, no one deserves shit) and treat him a little better???
Used to watch the show religiously, yet since he joined ESPN I haven't seen one episode. He joked about the sell aht, and yet that isn't what made me stop watching. It's the fact that ESPN is a joke, garbage, sanitized, and just fake. The fact he wanted to associate with that group of sport snobs totally turned me off his show. I'd wager he isn't conforming to their BS, but I will never know as I will never watch him until he gets out of their umbrella.
ESPN is so corporate and the mistake was joining them. They would try to control this amazing show so much. Pat, you’ll be fine without them. I use to watch ESPN since I was 5 in 1995 until I joined the Army in 2005. I just started to not like it and watched other stuff. Now we have so many outlets online and yours has been the best. Screw ESPN, you don’t need them.
The fuck is the goal here Pat? Norby is to ESPN as Bill Belichick is to the NFL. He’s been there forever, ESPN might be scuffling in the modern meta of video and social media, but Norby is highly respected and connected. Wtf. This looks like a captain scuttling his own ship because he has a beef with an admiral. Wow.
Pat ,RUclips will welcome you back, about million more people will watch, Gameday will die, and ESPN will too.Thank you for sticking up for free speech and just the truth, You are walking to the beat of your own drum. I love it.!!!!!!!!!!!!🎤🎤🐘🐘❤❤💘
That’s what happens when you join a big broadcast company. He needs to do what Dan Patrick did LEAVE start your own show. All of his watchers will follow.
it's funny because he already had his own show, Pat is doing ti in reverse. then again, that used to be the plan, get noticed on your own and get the big payday when something big buys you out.
Actually, never sold his show. The agreement is to air the show that Pat still owns. The people on his show are still paid by Pat. Disney pays for the right to air his show. Pat still controls his RUclips and other social media accounts. He had a $120 million deal before Disney. If Disney dropped him tomorrow, Pat's show doesn't even go off the air for a day.
Been watching ESPN since it's beginning. A lot of people made their name on ESPN. A lot of people have come and gone. I'm not going to miss McAfee at all when he's gone.
I love McAfee’s show, but why ESPN? It had to be the money, I heard him say before the move that he had freedom to do as he wishes. He had to know that at some point ESPN (Disney) would get upset about something said, and now it’s happened.
Rather him stay on youtube.... The ESPN thing never felt like a perfect marriage. Pat was too authentic and real to work for a company that micro manages everything. Pats Freedom of Speech to say whatever he wants is best part, I love a unfiltered show.
Much respect for McAfee here for calling out a backstabber exec even if he might pay for it in the short term, it'll legitimize McAfee in the long term and increase his brand way longer. He's one smart SOB.
Hes increased his cred with the youtube right winger commenter bros but hes flushing his brand into the toilet. The point of a brand is monetization turning your sports show into Aaron Roger's info wars hurts his ability to do that.
Props to calling him out by name. Most would just say “sabotage from within” and not name names or not even say that at all. Love that he’s willing to do it on air

Keep it moving
So you just shared a clip from the show…. WOW!! Way to tell a story!

The Tide is turning in the entertainment industry. Musicians and Podcasts no longer need these conglomerates to survive! They can do it their way!!
