WHOLESOME: ESPN announced budget cuts affecting multiple crews, so Pat McAfee heard about it and offered personally to cover the costs for the crew. “He's like, if you guys are going to do your budget thing, I'm taking care of the crew,” Kirk Herbstreit.

@KirkHerbstreit ESPN has made more mistakes the past few years than I can count. But signing @PatMcAfeeShow was not just a great business move. It showed for a moment, they knew how to appeal to a young male audience.

@KirkHerbstreit Pat is a LEGEND

@KirkHerbstreit I don’t know how people have anything negative to say about @PatMcAfeeShow! Sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up if you have something negative to say about @PatMcAfeeShow.

@KirkHerbstreit And some how people still hate on @PatMcAfeeShow! I will never understand it! He does so much good and just wants to alter positivity!

@KirkHerbstreit Not surprised here at all. @PatMcAfeeShow is a real one 🫡

@KirkHerbstreit Of course, Pat McAfee can do that because ESPN spent all the money paying his contract. They literally had to fire good commentators bc Mcafee got so much. It’s just like when a wide receiver gets a max contract on a football team. There’s not enough money to pay everyone else.

@KirkHerbstreit Pat is goofy af…. But he’s got a giant heart.

@KirkHerbstreit Cutting back bc the bullshit programming is costing you viewers, ESPN.

@KirkHerbstreit Pat’s a good dude!! 👍🏼

@KirkHerbstreit @PatMcAfeeShow you a REAL one for that Pat!!!
