Pat McAfee...seems as though people either love him or hate him

I like him.

I think there is a niche for him on Gameday. They don’t all need to be robots

I probably would've loved him when I was in high school.

He's simply not funny or entertaining to me and the majority of his schtick seems to be just being in your face/zany/over the top.

I refuse to watch any televised sports media that is put out there to force an agenda down the throat of everyone. If everyone would stop watching this propaganda then they have no ratings. I know he was a Punter. I’m sure he is a nice guy.

I hardly ever have the time to watch gameday. He seems like an alright guy, his style of media presence isn’t necessarily my favorite, but I’ve never read anything bad about him personally.

And frankly, the guy genuinely seems to have fun doing whatever it is he’s doing. I don’t think there’s a fake bone in his body. Which is more than you can say about a lot of media personalities and celebrities.

This is ESPN’s business model when it comes to commentary

I'm a fan

you can debate whether McAfee should be there or not, but Gameday pre-McAfee needed something because it was stale as hell.

-it's way too damn long
-becuase it's so long they have way too much filler, we don't need all the tearjerker segments
-this is a hot button issue that people seem to be split on, but corso needs to go. "but he's a legend!" Yes, he is. "He helped make gameday what it is!" Yes, I agree. "He should be able to pick when he wants to leave!" Uhh..why? If someone founded a company at age 20 and built it to a billion dollar congolmerate but they were still in the office at age 80 and had dementia and could barely speak you woudl clearly find some way to ease them into retirement, and it wouldn't besmirch their prior accomplishments or legacy in any way. Corso is hard ot l isten to and cann't really speak a couple sentences correctly at a time and often needs Kirk to help him. He's feeble and fragile and it's honestly juts sad watching them prop him up still.

what is the reason people dont like him? i dont have a problem with him, much better than the other ESPN daytime shows

Interesting that he comes off this way to you. I see him as an over the top schtick guy who has a hot take on everything. I don't see anything genuine about his personality. If that's really him...he's just annoying. But I'm old. My son and daughter in law like him just fine. They are his target market. My 36 year old son still turns on game day. I think mostly because his dad always watched.
