Dan P. is a lefty hack sellout too
I like Dan Patrick's response to all of this. He's got the right look on Pat not being a journalist. He's absolutely right.
We love Pat and the Boys!!!
Doesn't matter if you like him or not. He has something no one else on ESPN can compete with. He's real….. for the same reason everyone will watch joe rogan, everyone will watch pat macafee
pat lied to his audience for years and said he would never sell out and join espn, then when the fans got upset with him he said they were "not real fans of his".
Dan is the GOAT. This is a great example of why.
Pat is mostly pissing off the so called “tolerance” side. ESPN is in need of talent. Opposite of Keith Olberman type.
Why should he push back on AR? Because the libs don’t like it…. Haha they don’t like anything!
People are just mad because pat McAfee doesn't do the whole race division routine that ESPN has been stuck in for 7 years
We love pat. We hate ESPN.
The old whites are getting all rustled up! Ya love to see it.
People love to complain. People are naturally jealous. People naturally have a hard time dealing with change. I watch Pat and the boys because I love their approach to sports talk. To each as own. If you don't like it, then change the channel and go on with your life. That simple.🍻
I am a Pat fan, and Pittsburgh Homer, and asking Dan about this is spot on. In the early days of SC they caught lightning in a bottle with Dan, Rich, Keith, Stuart, and so on, so they are trying to do it again. Pat is for newer generations, I find him and the boys amusing, but do I see him the same way as someone like Dan?.. No, do I care about any of the noise about him?… also No.
Nah pat is being pat
dans the best and a class act
Pat addressed this whole thing already. He’s an awesome human who, like me and others, insists! on sharing the wealth in a fair way. Saying “he’s paying Rogers” is misleading, Aaron doesn’t even want the money but Pat’s such a real mf that he gives it to him anyway, ….big difference there, and kinda dumb when people comment before they even truly listen and get where McAfee’s coming from.
I think it's weird that they said that they took a poll and it came back negative towards Pat because when you look at any comment section on videos related to him, WWE, tick tock, YouTube, and Instagram. It always seems overwhelmingly positive towards Pat
so what is the issue exactly? is it aaron getting paid or is it pat not pushing back on things he speaks about? lol what has aaron said thats so controversial?
Dan will always be a F’ing champ
This is trying to keep stoking the fire on pat. Without saying it himself. Weak. Good work by dan
