Pat McAfee show applauds Michigan dominance!
Man, I love seeing when "objective" sports talk show types laud Michigan football!! Pat even tries to sing The Victors (horribly). Special team. Special season. Team 144. GO BLUE!!

The link is your personal email. Probably should edit this.
January 10th, 2024 at 11:36 AM ^
Now we know who watches this crap.
OP: Michigan is great, regardless of what ESPN's on-screen talent thinks. There's no reason to promote them.
January 10th, 2024 at 11:37 AM ^
Not yet, I have an interesting business opportunity I'm emailing him about.
January 10th, 2024 at 11:46 AM ^
Nigerian Prince?
Is that you?
January 10th, 2024 at 11:43 AM ^
Improper use of government email system. My employer would be all over this.
January 10th, 2024 at 11:49 AM ^
Or possibly an address that he had copied to send to, then mis-tapped in the clipboard.
Either way, not good, Bob.
January 10th, 2024 at 12:06 PM ^
Where in the world is, Carmen San Diego?
January 10th, 2024 at 12:07 PM ^
Pat is a big douchebag. Anyone who is buddies with Aaron Rodgers is a total douchebag. Aaron Rodgers is beyond dumb and his thoughts are so Qanon it is hilarious but for Pat to let him broadcast and use his show as a platform for Aarons mouth is disgusting. Fuck anyone at ESPN who doubted us and fuck all the haters.
We are #1
January 10th, 2024 at 12:11 PM ^
Come on now. "Anybody who is buddies with somebody is a douchebag?" McAfree may very well be that but not because he is friends with somebody.
Frankly in that whole Rodgers/Kimmel fiasco I pick the meteor.
January 10th, 2024 at 12:17 PM ^
Kimmel was funny on The Man Show, but not since.
January 10th, 2024 at 12:21 PM ^
Comedians are only funny when they can take chances and cut against the grain. There is no such things as a "funny politically correct comedian." None of the late night shows are funny anymore because funny is off limits.
January 10th, 2024 at 12:26 PM ^
Yep, and it's killing comedy, especially in the UK. They used to be hilarious, now it seems like their stand-ups (with a couple exceptions) are going for applause instead of laughs.
January 10th, 2024 at 12:27 PM ^
I have not watched the new Gervais standup. That may be funny. Frankly even Chappelle is getting tired.
January 10th, 2024 at 12:38 PM ^
Colbert is still pretty good. But yeah, Kimmel, Fallen, et all are all pretty much the same thing and not all that funny.
January 10th, 2024 at 12:30 PM ^
Why are so many people extremely angry nowadays?
January 10th, 2024 at 12:33 PM ^
Because almost all media actively promotes outrage about everything. Being really mad is pretty much required at this point. The US is basically like Two Minutes Hate from 1984 right now.
January 10th, 2024 at 1:06 PM ^
You may want to look in a mirror
January 10th, 2024 at 1:09 PM ^
The late night guys are so bad. Unfunny, just trying to win a popularity contest. Comedians are supposed to be the court jesters, sticking it to the king. These guys are so Establishment it's nauseating to watch. Sucking up to their masters. The biggest downfall of all, though, has been Howard Stern. What a suckup shrew. He's like a scolding old woman.
January 10th, 2024 at 1:18 PM ^
That has actually been a really weird transformation.
January 10th, 2024 at 1:35 PM ^
That's what happens when you spend 30 years in therapy while your testosterone levels crash. He literally turned into a yenta.
January 10th, 2024 at 1:53 PM ^
Yawn. Bor-ing.
January 10th, 2024 at 2:21 PM ^
Harbaugh to San Diego, just has some Parks and Recreation questions.
January 10th, 2024 at 11:38 AM ^
He took a break from his Aaron Rodgers nonsense.
January 10th, 2024 at 11:43 AM ^
Don’t worry, Rodgers will be back soon to let you know exactly what he thinks about…Aaron Rodgers.
January 10th, 2024 at 11:48 AM ^
It is funny that Rodgers said he is impressed that an Arizona State grad can read a teleprompter. That was pretty good.
January 10th, 2024 at 12:04 PM ^
Im pretty surprised Bob Iger hasn't shut that Rodgers shit down yet, or even the whole show.
January 10th, 2024 at 1:56 PM ^
Censorship 👍
January 10th, 2024 at 12:33 PM ^
He just had Rodgers back on the show yesterday (1/9). To what break are you referring?
January 10th, 2024 at 1:32 PM ^
https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/10/business/aaron-rodgers-pat-mcafee-show/index.html
He's apparently done with him for the rest of the season.
January 10th, 2024 at 11:39 AM ^
Haha, link sucks. Tries to go to email!!!
January 10th, 2024 at 11:42 AM ^
Anyone looking for information about a park in San Diego?
January 10th, 2024 at 12:05 PM ^
Balboa Park is beautiful.
January 10th, 2024 at 5:30 PM ^
Mission Bay is fantastic place to run.
PS Sorry I accidently hit the negative button when I meant to hit the Reply button.

Pat is just another CYA loud-mouth. He has not picked Michigan to win any of their biggest games this year and has sided with the "they are cheaters" side. If Michigan would have lost He would be right back at it. For those who like him fine but to me he is simply a flavor-of-the-day guy populist.
January 10th, 2024 at 11:58 AM ^
"...to me he is simply a flavor-of-the-day guy populist."
Isn't this pretty much all the media? Michigan Insider is solid. At least I appreciate Sam and the whole crew. But the rest? Woof.
TL;DNR Cool story bro:
In the 90s I had the opportunity to frequently hang out with one of the coaches on staff. I won't name-drop, but he was like Bo but gritty. Like Harbaugh but with NFL connections. He would discuss the upcoming game, and he was always right about the scheme and almost always right about the result of the game. Then I would listen to the pre-game media, and, wow, no one had any idea what was really going on. Sports media is pure entertainment, and the old National Enquirer was at least as much based on actual knowledge as 99% of what ESPN spits out at us.
January 10th, 2024 at 6:49 PM ^
I do not disagree with your premise on the flavor of the day but I do not agree that this, in any way, is not a reason to dislike him. I am not a fan of any obnoxious, self-aggrandizing person spewing nonsense.
January 10th, 2024 at 2:23 PM ^
His flavors today are Phil Mickelson and Will Johnson ...I'm interested.
The dude is a bit wild (Steve-O/Johnny Knoxville-ish) and a bit of a frontrunner,, but the infotainment and guest factors are worth a listen, imo.
January 10th, 2024 at 11:43 AM ^
The lowest lowest-common-denominator show on ESPN, which is saying something.
January 10th, 2024 at 12:09 PM ^
Is Stephen A still on ESPN?
January 10th, 2024 at 12:14 PM ^
Indeed. That's why it's saying something.
January 10th, 2024 at 11:50 AM ^
Who cares what that clown says on that clown show? I won’t click that crap.
January 10th, 2024 at 12:33 PM ^
No to worry. Clicking that link will only open your e-mail.

Pat McAfee is body odor in human form
January 10th, 2024 at 12:00 PM ^
Man, him doing a show in a tank top is disgusting to watch. Imagine being next to him.
January 10th, 2024 at 11:51 AM ^
He sold his soul to be the next controversial voice at ESPN. He picked against Michigan every chance he could get, enough to show he was being coached to do so. I would much rather have a homer/biased opinion than a fake opinion to draw attention.
January 10th, 2024 at 5:41 PM ^
I never watched him before but noticed that he was talking about Michigan after the Bama game so stopped to listen. I was somewhat impressed that he said he had not realized how good Michigan was until he was on the sidelines. They were faster, quicker, bigger than he had realized. He was especially impressed by Blake's jump cut.
January 10th, 2024 at 11:52 AM ^
Everybody loves a winner. Especially the ESPN mob that has seen wins against Penn State, Ohio State, Iowa, Alabama, and Washington, since carrying the torches of "sign gate".
January 10th, 2024 at 11:53 AM ^
1. Pat McAfee is not fair, balanced, objective, nor smart. If he says something positive about Michigan that makes me very nervous. He’s a hot-take bullshit artist who occasionally has funny insider stories. If he says that the sky is blue, I’m looking out the window to make sure.
2. Do not let the media types who tried to nail our coffin shut just “oops” their way out of it. The writers and personalities who went into a feeding frenzy when there was blood in the water are NOT clear thinkers, and just because they say positive words now doesn’t undo the damage from before.
3. Talking positive about Michigan NOW drives clicks. Talking negative about Michigan BEFORE drove clicks. If a dude knows nothing about Michigan, and thinks we’re good SOLELY because we dominated the Championship…that tells you how much they pay attention.
4. McAfee works for The Mouse. The Mouse ain’t happy with how McAfee gave Aaron Rodgers a platform that he uses to spout BS conspiracy theories, and this past week graduated to actual slander. The Mouse probably told McAfee “be a sports show”, and this is his attempt.

We dont need to hear from Pat that Michigan is great after the fact. We already knew they were special last summer. He picked against them all season in big games. Piss on him.
