The target demo is 18-40 so I get why many on this board don’t get the show.

I’m not sure how Pat rubs folks here so wrong that they act like it’s some travesty to listen to his podcast while simultaneously pitching other trash tier podcasts and YouTube shows… while also coming here to the forum to read our poo takes lol

Pat McAfee is great. His podcast is easier to listen to than most because it's more natural imo. It sounds like what a lot of guys sound like sitting around watching a game or watching SportsCenter. It's just sports talk with the boys. The little in-jokes and recurring bits can be a barrier for newer folks though, so I get how that can just seem obnoxious.

The fact that ESPN is trying very hard to now have more McAfee-esque segments is telling. The fact that McAfee was allowed to continue his format after coming to ESPN for the first part of his show and not change anything except for the vulgarity is also telling.

Haters gonna hate. He ain't for everybody but to act like it's objectively bad while he pulls numbers most personalities could only dream of is kinda funny.

Did that lad get banned who used to talk about Tepper and the Appaloosa model all the time? I can’t remember his username but I haven’t seen him around a ton. 

Thankfully so.

He retired to clean and massage Tepper's scrotum.

His bro brah poo grates on me but the guy understands his demographic. The sports media demographic and the bro brah demographic Venn diagram has a lot of overlap.

He's a helluva lot better than the Skip Bayless/Stephen A Smith/Jim Rome/Colin Cowherd ilk. 

With that said, other than clips posted here I don't really pay any attention to any of them.

I think he’s the best thing that’s happened to sports talk in a long time

Some people love being a contrarian.

 

It's just another ESPN show which have been hard for me to stomach for years. Lots of same stuff but he doesn’t wear a suit or sit at a desk. Some like it and some think it's more noise in a long line of the same. I honestly thought it was just a youtube channel by the quality of production.

There is a clear reason that network has been dumping talent for a while with declining viewership. Still strong but not what is was years ago. It's down 24% from 10 years ago so the fact people don't perfer it might not be because of age but purely preference.

yeah, he was just a YouTube channel. Still is. ESPN purchased the rights to co-broadcast an hour or so of his daily show because his little YouTube show was kicking their @ss.

McAfee is so hard to watch. What I could sit through was spot on.

He has the hottest podcast in sports right now. He's already all over ESPN.

 

Wish he didn't sell  his soul to ESPN. He could have had his own brand built from the ground up. He didn't need ESPN but chose them anyway. Now he's going to be working 24/7 like Stephen A Smith.

 

These guys well paid, but damn they have very little time to have a normal day and relax. Money talks though.

As much as we give him poo, if you were the owner would you be completely hands off? You don’t pay billions for a team to have a suite. 

Hell no I wouldn't be hands off but I wouldn't be in the draft room on the phone line with every prospect prodding my GM and coach to pick this or that guy or make this trade up because even though I flap my gills a ton here I am not a GM. I would hire someone who has been in that position and has had success to find me the people who don't need me in their ear.

you park billions into a sports team so your net worth grows.   That is why Tepper is here.   That is purpose and priority #1.   professional sports teams have been fantastic investment vehicles for folks the last several decades.   It just financial diversification for the mega wealthy.

    • He played like the kid coming out of Alabama. That's what he has done and what everyone expected him to do from the jump. What almost everyone failed to consider was what it would take to get him to play like that in the nfl. Turns out it was just a matter of confidence. 
    • This is actually a good discussion that dime to Legette was about 35 yards very accurate but not the TD throw to AT, but I definitely found Bryce hitting passes extremely similar to Andy I didn’t think Bryce could a couple weeks ago but that’s just not true he can. 32 sec mark he drops a dime 40 yards down the field where only Cooker can catch it with plenty zip with elite accuracy, I’d say the exact same dime Andy threw just diff part of the field. Bryce is showing he can make every throw Andy can make.  And your question is way to specific to find examples but I can find you very similar plays and If my boy Legette catches the dam ball Bryce might be able to have a deep TD pass that traveled about 30+ yards in the air we just need him to catch the ball and take off up the field but that’s not my argument I’m here to show Bryce throwing similar darts to Andy in his first year of being in a competent offense. TMJ and DJ Chark Mingo Ian Thomas lol and others as your go to weapons I’d say can have a major negative affect on your performances. But to address the argument here Bryce has film doing what Andy can do here’s the proof. (See video above)
    • I agree with all of that and Fitterer definitely sucked.  Some of that may also be blamed on the fact that he did not start with a fresh regime to come in.  So he had already burned some of his wick when we were starting over with a new coach (twice). The reality is that we do not often see players traded for that kind of package in the NFL today.  We don't see teams selling off star players for large hauls to start a re-build.  Whether or not that is the correct decision is up for debate.  But in the NFL it's observable that the opposite is mostly the case.  Teams tend to over value present assets vs future assets. It all goes back to the fact that "now" is all that matters if you're running an NFL team.  They say the NFL stands for "not for long".  You don't have the luxury to sow a field that won't be harvested until after you're gone.  Nobody's that selfless in NFL front offices.
