Pat McAfee Reveals He Hasn’t Re-Signed with ESPN College GameDay – WWE SmackDown commentator Pat McAfee, who joined ESPN College GameDay in September 2022, recently addressed the feedback from fans regarding his role on the show. The Athletic conducted a poll to gauge fan sentiment, with 30.1% responding positively, 48.9% expressing a negative opinion, and 21% having no strong stance.
In response to the feedback, McAfee acknowledged his critics and announced that he has not renewed his contract with the show. He recognized that he may not be the right fit for all audiences, particularly the “distinguished” college football fans, and expressed his excitement about the future as he looks forward to the remainder of the year.
He wrote on Twitter X:
This has been brought to my attention more than a few times over the last few days.. I’ve never been friends with a human that reads The Athletic so I’m not 100% sure what style of human these 3100 folks are but..
HUGE Shahtaht to the 30%.. hell yeah.
To the 49%, I have some great news.. I have heard you all very loud and clear since the beginning of my stint with GameDay. It’s one of the biggest reasons why I have not resigned a contract with the legendary show. I’m not right for some crowds and the “distinguished” College Football folks are definitely one of those.
Excited to enjoy the rest of this year, that’s shaping up to be a GREAT one, and then see what the future holds.
It’s been an absolute blast and an honor to be at that desk and to work with the fine folks of that family… it’s also been really fun to work 7 days a week for the last 2 football seasons. Nice reminder that I’m still a fucking DAWG.
The dumbest life of all time shall roll on.. Let’s have a great NFL Sunday.
Cheers
Pat McAfee made a significant appearance at WWE Fastlane, during which he dropped hints about WrestleMania being hosted in Indianapolis.
