Although there was technically no host of the 2023s ESPY awards on Wednesday night, new ESPN employee Pat McAfee basically served in the role.
And that meant he had to roast a bunch of people, as is the tradition in ESPYs lore.
McAfee isn’t one to hold back, as we’ve seen countless times on his show that’s now coming to ESPN. So he spent much of the monologue he delivered roasting folks left and right, including a certain sports TV personality and an ex-NFL quarterback who had sued McAfee before the suit was withdrawn.
Let’s run through those moments from the ESPYs:
He roasted the heck out of Skip Bayless
Damar Hamlin is an ABSOLUTE DAWG..
That tweet is still up Skip 😂😂😂 pic.twitter.com/l0DWmlC5j4

Bayless, as you may recall sent a soulless tweet after Damar Hamlin collapsed. And as McAfee notes, it’s still up!
He had jokes about Chiefsaholic
There was a man who would rob banks with a wolf mask on to watch the Kansas City Chiefs..
Think about the bank tellers Mahomes and Kelce 😂😂 pic.twitter.com/LsN98SgCpC

The Chiefs superfan was arrested and is suspected of robbing several banks.
A little dig for Brett Favre
