Espn only has first take and his show

College football gameday is still good

That network is dead outside of showing games

Tired of the same 4 hours replay of sportscenter

And espn 2 and others keep replaying the same 30 for 30 shyt and old ass college baseball and basketball games

I don't see how anybody watches this dude show. He talks about a bunch of nothing and gets almost every detail of everything wrong. He get's the teams wrong the scores wrong the plays wrong.
100%

SAS will purposely gaslight for ratings but he's not a dummy.

McAfee is a white frat bro that Gen Z loves for some reason....so he will stay until his schtick gets tired. He's acting like an azz because he knows he can.

This network went from Stuart Scott (RIP) to this.....

Pat needs a Rick James smack

Brother the media business is filled with think-skinned people though

They’re all sensitive so he’s just more of the usual

No I know, he’s overtly that than most is my point and I don’t think long-term that will work is his favor. He’s fine now since ESPN sees as one of their top stars, but that won’t last forever.

Pat is way too sensitive imo tho, media in general is not a business to that thin-skinned


Unless he goes REAL dudebro, like has a table of him, AJ hawk, Taylor lewaan, and Theo Von (and a standard token nicca like Ezekiel Elliot or someone), this is a pointless endeavor. GameDay is the entertainment standard, and big noon is the xs and os standard, and both lead to games directly. Unless CBS wants a good ol boy pregame, why consider this.



Ah shyt I just mapped out how this can work didn't I? :why:

Pat McAfee has pigeonholed himself into “Bro Culture Sports Talk”: loud, flashy, chaotic, full of wrestling energy and locker-room vibes. That works fine for a daily show with niche appeal. But when he tries to stretch that into a full-blown weekly college football institution, like his own version of College GameDay? That’s where it falls apart.

McAfee thinks he’s building a rival. What he’s really building is "The Pat McAfee Show: Saturday Edition.” and the truth is, that’s not enough.

GameDay works because it’s a blend: tradition, analysis, stories, emotion, chaos in moderation. McAfee doesn’t blend. He blasts. And while that gives him huge initial numbers (Week 1 will boom), it doesn’t build loyalty. By Week 3, fans will realize there’s no structure, no evolution, just more of Pat being Pat, yelling into a mic with fewer guardrails and more beer.

And without ESPN’s leash? He’s got no backstop. You can only line-step so many times before it bites you in the ass.

He can still be a segment. Hell, he can be the spice. But you don’t build a meal out of hot sauce.

A fukkin punter :russ:

His style of humor is corny to me. I don’t know one thing he does that gets him that sort of dough except bro’ing it up
He quit the colts and went all in on this social media thing. His gamble paid off

Follow your instincts brehs

Seems like spur grapes from a idiot writer.
Pat has control of his show. Because ESPN wanted him they gave him a contract that bowed to him he calls the shots and because his program was a success without ESPN, he can always leave and continue making money.

These are things the broke boy writers at ESPN who would be starving without the mouse behind them, don't understand.

And that's what draws ratings. He's a typical white american retard. Same as rogan who constantly gets shyt wrong, but makes every white american guy watch his show.

if you're Schefter and got banned why go back? it ain't like you need his show to boost your profile, you're already considered the top insider, let one of the other dudes do the show
I doubt he cares. Outside of the draft, nothing crazy has been happening to prompt an appearance.

I think it was Schefter that got the show back on track, after that Ole Miss rumor got brought up
