ESPN host, former West Virginia kicker and former Indianapolis Colts punter Pat McAfee has had an eventful week.
As the calendar turned to 2024, McAfee’s eponymous show found itself at the center of a firestorm of criticism when New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers falsely suggested on the program that ABC talk show host Jimmy Kimmel would be named in documents connected to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.
That led to a scathing column from sports media critic Andrew Marchand in The New York Post, which in turn led McAfee Friday to accuse forces inside ESPN of sabotaging his show.
