Just what the world needs. More Pat McAfee. I guess ESPN needs to get more bang for their buck.

Love him or hate him, you're about to see a lot more of him on your television. Pat McAfee is reportedly joining ESPN's "Monday Night Countdown" ahead of the 2026 NFL season, according to The Athletic.

McAfee, 39, is expected to serve as one of the new members on the set, which will feature Scott Van Pelt, Jason Kelce, Marcus Spears and Jason McCourty. It marks yet another program at the network that features McAfee, who was reportedly negotiating a deal with ESPN in June that would pay him roughly $60-$65 million per year.

In addition to appearing on "Monday Night Countdown," McAfee already appears on his own daily show and on "College GameDay." By making appearances on "Monday Night Countdown," McAfee could be in line to play a prominent role in the network's Super Bowl coverage in February.

When the reckoning comes for us all soon the only thing left will be Jason Kelce and Pat MacAfee promoting themselves on ESPN

Is ESPN retarded?


It’s 2026.

If someone/something becomes over saturated it’s over. Pat is going to be the Nickelback of sports talk.

ESPN sucks.

They know eyeballs will be on it. So lets see if we can get something that will attract people.

MNF on ESPN

MNF on ESPN2

MNF on ESPNNews

MNF on ESPNOCHO

MNF on ELESPN


Headline the next day. "Last night's MNF was the most watched MNF in the history of the NFL".....


No shite if you put 1 thing on multiple channels the combined rating we = the highest ever. It's sad.

Monday Night Football is garbage until Joe/Troy or Peyton/Eli start.

The Pat McAfee’s of the world are why I barely pay attention to sports these days. It’s one thing to act like a drunken college boy buffoon when you’re in you early twenties but I have zero desire to listen to a middle age man act like it.

You people complain about Stephen A. Now you complain about Pat. You can never make some people happy.

He's one of the main things keeping ESPN afloat whether that's good or bad in anyone's opinion, so of course they're gonna ride that shite till the wheels come off

With what they’re paying him, they’re giving him additional responsibilities to justify his salary.

Cool. I don’t watch that show, as it is, and now I have less reason to watch. The meathead quotient will be off the charts.
