Pat McAfee is not funny, amirite?

Loud= funny. I agree with that observation. It's just frat guy "humor".

A retired football player who's popular with college kids having frat humor???? What????

by Anonymous 3 weeks ago

Whenever people say this I cringe myself tbh. Comes across as jealous. You dont have to like his humor lol. It's not that deep. Alot of people prob think you are insufferable and boring. People have different taste.

People don't have to like his humor. But if they don't like his humor and say so, then they're just jealous.

I think he's kind of a tool and I agree he's not funny. But what his show offers that no others do is a very real look at pro athletes. There's no filter, no media lens, he gets athletes to be athletes on his show and IMO that's what really is the selling point.

Has Bill talked about that ass-whipping he took from Billy?

I figured that would have changed somewhat since he joined with ESPN. Has it not?

by Anonymous 3 weeks ago

His first hour is on ESPN but hour 2 is always a YouTube stream so it's way less filtered on thag half

by Anonymous 3 weeks ago

First two hours are on ESPN. All 3+ beyond hours are on YouTube. Third hour and beyond is where is gets off the rails

by DirectMarzipan 3 weeks ago

Idk I don't watch him much but I was pretty surprised when I flipped to ESPN a couple days ago, and he dropped like 10 f-bombs in the first hour

by Anonymous 3 weeks ago

Yeah it's gotten pretty lax on the language, which I understand isn't for everyone

by DirectMarzipan 3 weeks ago

Yeah you have no idea what you're talking about

by Bkeeling 3 weeks ago

I mean I watch the show once or twice a week and watch clips on YouTube often. It's easily my favorite sports show

by Anonymous 3 weeks ago

yeah, that's the thing. People know him from clips, and that's the consequence of growing and signing with ESPN. he is so loud and annoying sometimes but in the end I can leave his stream on during work occasionally and it's entertaining interviews and fun takes. but when all is said and done the show is set up to have truly magical moments: when Owen called in, Mad Mel and Boston Connor on their rants, AJ talking about piranhas. Aaron aside, yelling aside, this is why people watch

I'm not the biggest Pat McAfee fan, but I'm always impressed with his energy. It can be really infectious. He has a real motor mouth and is quick witted. I don't know how the guy does it. Especially with the fact that he does a three hour show every day.

No he's just saying he only knows him in one area.

Mainly cause I figure he probably acts differently on his podcast or whatever else he does

I don't mind him, but it seems evident he's pretty polarizing and there are a lot of people who dislike him. This isn't really that unpopular of an opinion

by hesterbergstrom 3 weeks ago

He is funny for sports and 14-30 year olds who care about sports daily. But like Ryan Seacrest and Carson Daily before him and Chris Hardwick, and all these guys who keep popping up hosting shows it gets tiring. He's just gonna fall into that circle of guys who end up hosting things. Basically nobody I'll ask for him, but he'll just keep popping up for years.

I really don't like trying to watch a football game and half my screen is a separate stream of him and his posse running up and down the field. I'm not there to watch him, I'm there to watch the game. I agree I don't like him as an announcer.

by Runteleila 3 weeks ago

He's liked because he's not PC. While I generally like the non-sports centric sports shows his show comes off as a try hard to be edgy frat bro. And that's fair considering the show came from barstool. So you get mainly the barstool audience. I more like the non-sports sports shows that just feel like friends hanging out. The LeBatard show and inside the nba on tnt are absolutely goated

His story about Troy Polamalu is pretty funny. But yeah, a lot of times he's pretty grating. Especially humoring Aaron Rodgers conspiracy nonsense.

I'm not into him, but I think his energy and enthusiasm are what people latch onto. People prefer his frat-boy vibe to the more traditional sportscasters or the more argumentative sports show hosts like Stephen A or Skip Bayless.

I find the zoo setup and loud delivery grating, but I put up with it because there's some genuine intelligent insight and points of view coming out. His draft coverage with Bill Belichick was excellent. I started watching occasional morsels and then switched over to it completely because it was more informative.

He's obviously aiming for a specific audience which is college frat guys and jocks. You can just tell by him being loud and obnoxious, the muscle shirt, the dirty table, it looks like he just woke up out of bed. Seems like a simple show but it's cleverly marketed. It's most likely an act for the camera. I don't personally like it even though I like sports

It's weird I fell victim to this today. I was having a conversation with somebody about a famous sports figure this week. Deion Sanders. My friend was arguing in general any person would know exactly who he is. I argued he was a popular sports figure in America in the last 30 years, but if you didn't watch football, why would you know him. He countered with Dancing With The Stars. He may be Sports Famous, but not popular famous. Just my two cents

McAffee absolutely was an athlete, he was a great punter and he actually has a highlight reel of tackles, passes, onside kicks and etc that he did over the years. You clearly never saw him play: I'm a Colts fan, I watched the guy play for years and he was a kicker who could change a game.
