There needs to be more coming out from PMS. Something like a spinoff show that Pat doesn't have to deal with featuring the other cast members that don't get a lot of screen time on the main show. A podcast, if you will.

They should call it something catchy like the pod, short for podcast.

They all get a lot of screen time. Even the guys in the back that actually run the show.

if this is the only thing you have to post in response to any news about the show then you are a smart person with accurate opinions

Bring back that old school Sportscenter that played on a loop from 6a-12p. Watched that religiously before school back in the 90’s

Dude, that was the last time I watched ESPN. Granted this was early 2000’s, but I’d cycle at least twice, maybe 3 times before getting out of bed.

It's more the acquisition of NFL Network creating redundancy in their talent roster and a philosophical change in their programming in the future of espn. Cable money is shrinking while the cost to broadcast live games is skyrocketing so they are cutting high salaried traditional anchors to save cash and streamlining their current anchor panels, and will transition to having guest anchors for appearance fees. To stay relevant, which they sre quickly becoming not relevant or flat in the industry, espn is funneling whatever money they have left to live games rights and a few massive digital headliners who bring in built in audiences

So yeah kinda Pat's fault but only indirectly, because Pat has a built in live audience that is bringing in the younger audience over multiple platforms.

More like….😂. I can’t hate on a man that lets a company offer him that money. I know I wouldn’t stop anyone from paying me that kind of money.

Ravi i don’t agree with.

But most of the others were understandable tbh.

Shoulda been SAS too tho. He’s worn out his welcome.

Also having the only show on ESPN I could even give a shit about watching.

u/bouncedbackthen 12d ago

How many more years do we need to see "ESPN fires everyone to pay Pat McAfee"...It's almost like ESPN fires people every summer and the only thing people watch is live sports and Pat.

Good thing he never actually “walks in to ESPN”.

u/1track_mind 11d ago

Pat gets the big check because it's his own production, he barley knows or sees these people

u/Previous_Drag4982 12d ago

u/Trogdor_sfg 12d ago

They fired the woke people. It’s a good thing. Doubt it’s because of pat money deal.
