We did it, beautiful people.
We are the goddamn c-gap
i’m also a 49 year old version can anyone help plz it’s hard to get 🐱 when i have autism
@@oN3xShOtxkilL ohh that was good💯👊🤣
@@chowder4118 just tell them you are very rich, maybe tell them your a big shot at espn.
Woooo
Pat’s viewers: “We took that personally”
We actually did 😂
That’s a fact
lolololol
💯
Almost grabbed my Viking horns
"Never F****ng will be an ESPN show" was a glorious statement.
Followed by "I'm banning ESPN from this show for atleast a F***ing week". 🤣
Literally read this while he said it 😂
Pat knows most of his audience knows espn is dogshit
Classic
Aged like milk
ESPN: “are we the bad guys now?” The Internet: “hell YES”
ESPN: "Wait we are the bad guys?" Us: "Always was" *points 🔫
@@pdub3167 beat me to it
They're supervillains now with Disney owning em
All of us: you never weren’t.
@@pdub3167 underrated comment
Pat just banned ESPN and didn't even need a formal statement to make it official
even though i hate espn i am against cancel culture even when it benefits me . More people need to keep a principled position on this , people will be against cancel culture then cancel espn .
@@apollo-eu4fk i dont see this as cancel culture really. to me cancel culture is blatantly trying to force something to be shut down because of some disagreement between 2 parties. this is more just the viewers telling espn they will stop watching their network because of their actions. maybe i missed it and some people actually called for espn to be shut down and im off target here but it seems to me that this is just choosing to not watch a network since they dont like how their handling business
@@evanfoss6564 Yes, there is a difference. Customers should always be speaking their desires with their dollar. Don't buy from sweatshops if you know it's wrong, for example. I mean, that's the very heart and nature of boycotts such as the bus boycotts in the '60's. Obviously, this is not nearly as important, to say the least haha. But, I'm merely saying that this is very different than trying to have someone's life ruined, like "cancelling" does. So, totally agreed.
@@apollo-eu4fk that's a whole different thing my friend
@@apollo-eu4fk no ones trying to cancel espn
ESPN IS SCARED THAT VIEWERS WOULD RATHER WATCH A REAL SHOW LIKE PATS AND NOT WRITTEN AGENDAS LIKE ESPN
You mean the constant rotation of Brady, lebron, racism?
@@ossocinco include getting Beal booker and dame out of “small market” teams
We would boycott ESPN
@@pga972 we should
@@theonoble8080 I did 14 years ago lol and I never looked back.
Espn died when my guy Stuart scott passed away rip espn and the legend Stuart Scott 🙏
When Chris Berman and Tom Jackson left that was truly the end of ESPN
Both of these statements are accurate. Not to mention Rich Eisen, Kenny Mayne and Stuart Scott leaving too.
I meant Dan Patrick, not Scott. 😂😂
It died when it went liberal.
And when skip bayless left
"We didn't intend to" is a fancy way of saying we tried and failed 🤣
That ESPN statement was pure boilerplate PR damage-control.
Yep they didn't think it would get out that they specifically targeted his show. I've never understood the lack of awareness some people have. How could the higher ups at ESPN not know that most of their employees respect Pat more than they do them? Of course it was going to get out
"we didn't intend to" meaning you willfully did and didn't change it
Silence is complicity!!
@@PEZ1514 except they weren't silent about it
Not exactly lol
Like they didn’t mean to shoot my family members last year
@@darthcelsius6393 he was on your side bub
ESPN just realized that this show isn’t just a small KZhead show and that Pat has real fans behind him 😂
And knowing he's a former NFL punter and everyone's tuning in? So imagine if other big name sports figures start doing this
@@stephonaugustin1384 gonna be a huge blow to these pigs
I always think of just the YT side of it in terms of live viewers and I forget that people all over are probably listening to him on the radio as well 😅
I haven't watched espn in years lol
@@stephonaugustin1384 honestly your right but I think what makes the show so good is that it’s just Pat and the boys being themselves
I thought the best part was that ESPN actually thinks Pat is going to keep coming on ESPN after the move they just pulled
Pat lined up in ESPN's C Gap😬
"We didn't intend to ban..." makes me wonder what they were intending to do.
To ban, until they got the backlash and turned in to coporate scurred shitters
I took it akin to a human, stepping on an ant. Thinking... it's just an ant, trying to eat my picnic food..... Then realizing it's a fire ant. and it HURTS... and it has lots of other fire ants coming into the fray.
@@mrbkkt1 Quite possibly the best analogy for this.
To stop giving McAfee so much traction. McAfee gets rare guys to tune into the show that dont show up to other shows. That plus ESPN employees or Fox Sports and he's built himself as the top of the brand.
Maybe they didn’t ban anyone from the show, just strongly recommended against coming on?
They're mad you get more views and your guests are genuinely happy to be there. ESPN/Disney officially suck now anyway.
Yes. ESPN has been awful since the Millennium began. Pat McAfee is greater than any ESPN talent. Pat lets his guests speak, asks smart questions and doesn't push you into Woke politics.
@@ericfitzgerald9214 EXACTLY
Has for a LONG time. They kept getting rid of all the good people with some exceptions (Stephen A Smith, Herbie, Fowler, Rece, SVP for examples). I only watch ESPN for games I'm interested in watching or to watch those I love to watch that are on seasonly
@@MajinBuusha I definitely agree. Only reason I need is ESPN anymore is to watch UFC
Yup. The ONLY thing good coming out of that company is the MARVEL series headed by Kevin F
ESPN is such a political mess. Haven’t watched in three years but watch this show every day!
Same here!
This is one of my favorite clips. If the younger Pat could see what the current Pat has done 😂
All this flack over a small local sports show in Indiana, crazy Edit: I thought it was obvious this was a joke, but apparently not - so here’s an edit clarifying that this is a joke. A literal running joke on Pats’ show lol, not sure why people are debating.
Everyone is big on controlling the flo of info these days
Anything but local, almost every NFL fan, and Sports fan in general that I know of Pat.
@@PoosinP it’s a joke bc the show was called that once and Pat said it jokingly throughout the show one day .
Well I wouldn't call PMS small or local but yea.....I get it
Given I watch from Australia and I’ve never even seen espn. I’d say Pat is bigger globally than those clowns.
This show is way more informative and entertaining than ESPN.
I'll take youtubers anyday over those clowns at ESPN
Just the fact that he does this live makes this show so much better. You get to actually see people act like humans.
They don't even talk about sports...its all politics and bs. That's why their ratings are in the tank and people turn to shows like Pat to get their sports talk.
Than ESPN as a whole? Or like particular shows that ESPN does?? Lemme preface that by saying I totally agree with whatever your answer may be...lolol
Esnp is the cnbc of sports news, waste of time.
I've spent more time watching Pat McAfee show this week than I have for any show on ESPN, all year (minus the games on ESPN)
It’s amazing how Pat was not at all sarcastic and condescending after making ESPN look stUuuPid
Thats the best way to do it. Kill em with kindness 😆
I’m 61 yrs old grew up on ESPN, my son told me about you six months ago. I don’t like change. In my time I’ve followed all the great spots reporters. IMO your right up there already as one of the greats continue to do what you do, Ive loved every minute of listening to you and all the boys, one pride, go lions.
@P Stace So you guys do exist. I thought you were just a myth
Go lions!!
Stay strong boys 🤣💯
This just goes to show we need less corporate media and more independent media, in all areas. Corporate Media is always pushing a narrative.
My condolences for being a Lions fans though
Nothing ESPN has put out today has 17k views in less than 30 minutes. " the world wide leader " LOL
Maybe people have stopped using KZhead? U cant say it has anything to do with politics. Remember, truth over facts.
ESPN is the world wide leader in sports... ez
@@mephenstessina6081 a quick Google shows “74% of adults in the U.S. use KZhead” so no, people have not stopped using KZhead.
I mean, they post a TON of clips at all times of the day, their views are greatly spread across multiple videos per day
Not a very precise measurement they are on cable. Where I watch them and ESPN+ which has more downloads in the past year than Netflix. Also dc and Helwani had 50k after an hour idk 30 mins but basically it’s not a precise measurement based solely off KZhead views.
And now Pat McAfee has handed his head to ESPN on a silver platter.
Pat is an absolute savage. Spitting in ESPN’s face like that made me laugh way too hard.
Cancel ESPN
I did while watching Friday's show
FK cancel culture, but yeah, we can cancel ESPN😂
@@shawnbell5050 FK CANCEL CUTURE THATS FACTS
I miss when ESPN was good 😭 I grew up on it, and now it’s not watchable at all. I’d rather watch Pat’s show and even Fox 🤯
They lived long enough to become the villian. plain and simple.
I haven’t watched since Stuart Scott was on! R.I.P. Stuart Scott BOOYAH!
That's what happens when Disney owns 40% of our news and entertainment outlets in this country.
I agree. And I'm sick of seeing SAS on everything. Annoying personality and overrated but plastered over everything!
ESPN started dying when we lost Stuart Scott IMO Rip
"That being said, I'm banning ESPN from this show for at least a fk'n week." 🎤 Epic finish! Lol
Damn I’m so happy this is happening. F ESPN. Sick of it. This is the best by far
Pat living rent-free in ESPN's heads & im here for it😂😂😂
We all are my man! Let's enjoy the hell out of it!
So good
It’s crazy to see a big Corp tremble and backtrack. Tis the offseason.
Hey, money/ratings talk. They dont want fans to boycott their content is prob what they are thinking. And they prob didnt expect to be called out like that 😆
Bro, Aunt Jemima got cancelled. Where you been. Companies caving to twitter bullying is absolutely the default.
Gat Mcafee Eudience together strong
The praise pat gives his audience and supporters is so fkn wholesome. Call it what it is!! Always!! Keep the fire lit!! Independent media is the future!!
It makes absolutely ZERO sense for ESPN to not allow it's analysts to come onto your show and promote their programs. What an idiotic business decision. ESPN shouldn't be treating you like competition, if they were SMART, they'd be treating you like a partner.
The Community of the C Gap and indoor facility jokes just cracked disney
If ESPN won't allow guests on, then Pat shouldn't allow them to use his clips. Plain and simple.
Facts
that's not how that works
@@1776_was_great Cease and Desist orders can work.
@@1776_was_great Lawyers would beg to differ
Filibuster!
This is how you know you’re doing well
“WILL NEVER BE AN ESPN SHOW” man I hope pat and the boys know what they’re doing and don’t get fooked from them in the future. Keep it movin
The 1 dislike is ESPN
the mcafee mafia is very strong my friend
The reason Pat’s show is better than everything on ESPN is that he gives good legit analysis but ultimately Pat is very positive and doesn’t dog people.
You’re definitely a part of my life. I can’t decompress after work with out this show. Thank you for doing what you’re doing. I’m glad we could help out;)
As I’ve gotten older, I care less and less about sports, but GOD damnit do I love seeing a group who’s sticking to their guns, and not letting the FCC and corporation money dictate who they are. This is a great lesson in what happens when you don’t become a door matt, stay true to your brand, but also recognize that there’s enough food out there for everybody to eat. Don’t get greedy; just get fed.
Damn, what a quote! "Don't get greedy, just get fed." I'ma keep that one
@@swiftfire8513 yeah imma steal that one too.
Yes sir! This rejuvenates my faith
Integrity goes far
Just be conscious of helping others along the journey, and we’ll all be alright.
I loved how you pointed out the falsehoods in ESPN’s message.
And now an ESPN show. 😂
Man watching this now after they sold out to ESPN, is just rough to watch.
Tom Brady should come out and tell Max Kellerman it was him and ESPN who fell off a cliff.
That would be awesome!
ROFL
@@absolutelyrandomful I'm sorry..but what does that mean? I'm a little older
I NEED THIS
Lmao
espn closing down forever would be the absolute best thing for sports talk.
Have you seen the shows on FS1?
They are racists sharpe and Stephen a Smith and Kellerman a yes man
Espn is going in the "what the F happend to Mtv flle".
@@SteadyBlessinem how is sharpe racist? Stephen " as a black man" A. Smith is just a hack
@@lilcourtny08 sharpe is pretty SJW, but he's def not racist
Now this show is on ESPN. Thats crazy.
Pat McAfee has a legit informative and entertaining sports show that is still growing and becoming more influential day by day. And I find it more entertaining than the standard talking head shows that any other sports network has to offer.
It’s an honor to listen to you pat, literally the dream sports show for me and a lot of other people. Hilarious content! Keep pushin GOATMAN
They were like “Pat s not gonna do our shows anymore?”” Lol
Anyone else watching this in May 2023? Sad…
Love this show man. Thanks for giving us sports content in a format that the people want! We love your style, brotha! Love your team!
I miss the old ESPN when all they showed was highlights :(
Yeah, but to be fair to ESPN, things need to evolve. That format wouldn't still work in today's world. Back then, the only way to see so many highlights on a national level was on ESPN. Now you can find highlights of any game on several different platforms. If someone already saw the highlights on youtube why would they need to watch ESPN if they still had that same format?
That’s actually a fair counter argument never really thought of it that way. With hockey back in the fold I think they can show more highlights.
@@eaglesandowls I don’t believe forcing politics into their platform and deciding they’re gonna be Bitchey elitists liberals is evolution. Notice how the majority of espns talent has gotten tf outa there? I used to watch espn 24/7 up until about 2015 since then I only turn them on to catch a live game.
Remember the old ESPN ads?? Best ads on television
Now ESPN is just a sports talk channel. Just like when MTV used to be a music channel.
I'm glad that everyone is finally seeing ESPN's true colors, which is whatever color trash is. That channel has been hot garbage for years.
Truth.
Trash comes in all colors
Hey I’m stealing this phrasing. Thanks brad 😭😭😭
Everyone knows eson has been declining for like 10 years
I used to love espn but stephen a smith is hot garbage he rambles and back tracks and then max kellerman acts like his white guilt bleeds through his suit which is painful to watch
Thank YOU Pat and crew! Your show is one of the best things out there right now!
This show has become my daily go to for updates, reactions and real interviews and perspectives. Keep up the good work! You won’t see the unfiltered opinions that are worthwhile anywhere else.
I am 70, also known as really old. ESPN was the foundation of sports for decades THEN they went big time SJW politics with Obermann et al. Your channel is REAL sports and greatly appreciated.
I would say its more just how genuine he is because Pat has brought up social issues before but he doesn't speak about them at length, and he's said before it's because he doesn't like to speak on things at length that he knows nothing about and he's always been genuine about that as well as his sports related knowledge.
The only people who like libtards are other libtards
Why are conservatives so immature? Why use name calling?
I mean it's freedom of speech. ESPN let's its people speak on whatever they want to. When politics seeps into sports the personalities are allowed to voice their opinion. Pat himself supports BLM.
You do realize btw that Disney owns ESPN yet when it comes to “free speech” they fire every conservative they come across but I guess freedom of speech is only if you have liberal views right guy?🤔
Pat Mcafee: C gap and ESPN Us: And we took that personally
😂👏🏾
America! All the little McAfee's pulled together and made it happen. Teamwork makes the dream work.
YT also unsubscribed me for some reason. I love pat so this makes no sense. You should ask Susan why she's unsubscribing people.
I got unsubbed too.
You know the reason lol Pat way too political to not get caught up in those shadow bans and unsubs
i just realized that wtf
@@JStack oh trust me i know lolol
Just checked myself and for some reason I was unsubbed too

Uhhhh yeah, they do.
They still do, but its just digital now instead. Its the same thing.

🎤 drop at the end though! Lol this show and All The Smoke is where I get my sport news & interviews. You can tell how comfortable the athletes are on both shows.
Those are great shows. Pardon My Take is good too
@@charlesb8267 pardon my take what channel is that on
It's a KZhead sports talkshow.
I'm a recent newbie to your show.. And damn.. it's a damned good show! I love the format, I love how you all elaborate on sports, and I love the fresh perspectives. So thank you for making me a fan of your show, and I thank you all for your collective efforts!
Good update! Love the show. Keep on rockin guys.
Pat tells a story Everyone: we liked it
We like the stonk and we like P-Mac
The sarcasm from pat when he’s clapping talking about “your figure if our your business” has me dying laughing. Something everyone wants to say to their boss or someone who thinks they are
Pat you are the man. Your show is the best, espn was jealous and worried!!!
The Pat McAfee Show is the future of sports talk.
This deserves to be your most viewed clip of all time. Preach my man, preach
Pat coming up with the “tiff” is his peak West Virginia education haha
The conversations and topics on this show are so natural and intriguing. You actually get to see the other side to these athletes the media doesn't want you to see.
Well said! Thank you Pat!
This is why I watch this guy. Honest, entertaining, and humble.
I agree with 2/3rds of what you said. Nothing humble about this guy. Lol.

Thanks for the recognition Pat and Company. We love yall

Pat the “FCC rules” throw away did not go unnoticed lol
Pat McAfee is going to Pat McAfee
thank u for teaching ESPN they could do better with y’all instead of failing to contend against👏🏾
Having guests from other networks actually promote the other network. The only real competition to ESPN is FOX SPORTS. Radio shows or podcasts are not real competition. I don’t listen to podcasts for sports updates or highlights or breaking news.
Remember to call into your local espn station to ask what is going on with the great pat macafee show.
Hehe. Low blow. I love it
When you scare a business that couldn't pay you enough to work for them instead of yourself so they try to just hinder your business. 😂 Priceless.
They WILL try to covertly slash the PMcA shows tires for sure.
All on your side bro. Love the show ! Definitely hope to see you on get up more tho you definitely vibe good with the boys and would love to see you on first take !
ESPN couldn't handle the heat of trying to drown out the best gotdamn sports show in the history of human kind!!!! PAT MCAFEE FOR PRESIDENT!
ESPN blows
F’n love this show
Pats response is just another reason I like this guy! Just keep chugging along doing the right thing.
Loving this show all the way from Australia
Ayyyy, ESPN stinks. Atta baby, boys!
The call to Ariel was epic....I’m surprised he was able to do his show 2d and didn’t suffer a heart attack on Friday
We need more "non-journalists" that aren't paid shills beholden to corporations. Pure and honest communication is how we find the truth
Pat seems so sincere. Probably one NFL player I gotta meet before I die. Definitely top five.
