Pat McAfee has got to go.

Also can't stand the boomers getting on and on about females giving football takes. It's a sport fellas, any can watch a have a take. If it's good it's good, if it aint it aint. But I wouldn't trust many of you old codgers to know good taste or you asses from a hole in the ground.
When a female reporter or analyst actually has a good take please let us know.
 
You can tell McAfee and Saban genuinely like each other which is awesome. Also, anytime McAfee shows up on any campus he's the most popular guy on stage. Sometimes he can be hard to follow and the yelling can get old, but he can talk ball with the best of em, I think any coach would back that up.

Otherwise, if a dude is clearly popular as hell and keeps showing up everywhere you look and your the one guy saying "Well actually this guy sucks" unfortunately that's a you problem, and is curmudgeon behavior. I do understand the hate, but this guy is probably the most popular dude in sports media atm for a reason.

So I can somewhat agree...but here's where I get lost...he doesn't talk much ball anymore, at least not on Gameday. Btw, Gameday had massive crowds long before McAfee. That ain't a new thing.

I get he's polarizing, just isn't my flavor. I should probably give his podcast a listen, but I just can't. Ever since his bromance with ARodg, I've just been out on him.

We got a curmudgeon reference.


That's it boys. Close it all up.
Been a good run.
 
Tad Ol boy if you think a female has never had a good football take then I don't know what to tell you. I would suggest you check out Mina Kimes, she's a gal who I really like, but on the other hand a wise man once told me, "Bees don't waste time telling flies shit tastes like shit."

@Eagles_Ball I actually do completely understand where you're coming from on Pat. I've just had to have the same conversation with myself, and can usually enjoy him now. The A-Rod bromance sucks though, but I'm a dyed-in-the-wool Rodgers hater.

I love his energy and he balances out the stiffs on the show. GameDAy has a great mix of personalities which makes it a very wathcbale and fun show. Anyone hating on Pat doesnt have personality.
It’s true.

I have no personality.

I am also wholly mundane and have no sense of humor.

You know the funny thing about Rodgers, I used to like him. Then he turned all hippie/diva/smartest guy in the room. Just exhausting. I love that he sucks so bad he just got his coach fired.

I've always thought Mina Kimes has some really good insight
I think were all forgetting one very important part to all this. Its sports! The majority of audiences are men!! You need EYE CANDY!!! Mina Kimes? Bosko likey! Maria Taylor?? You better believe Bosko likey! Laura Rutledge?? Absolutely Bosko likey!! You all get the point. Can female reports give good sports insights and opinions? WHO CARES!

…so it’s only old sticks in the mud that don’t find this guy entertaining? 🤔
 
I guess it's all perspective. I just view it as performance art and a big money grab. I view him in the same vein as I do Stephen A and all the other knuckleheads that yell and scream non-stop. I like dudes like Herby that can have fun but also make some sense along the way as well. It's not football, but the NBA on TNT model is way more my speed. Get some guys that mesh and let them do their thing having fun. That's why, IMHO, Gameday was so awesome prior to Corso's aging and demise.
Hey ... knuckleheads is my thing!
 
Have you seen my doc?? Apparently NOT! Im well known for having nice little "chats" with folks who disagree with me or wont "play ball". They come around after we "chat".
Like I said........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................!
