Pat is a big douchebag. Anyone who is buddies with Aaron Rodgers is a total douchebag.   Aaron Rodgers is beyond dumb and his thoughts are so Qanon it is hilarious but for Pat to let him broadcast and use his show as a platform for Aarons mouth is disgusting.  Fuck anyone at ESPN who doubted us and fuck all the haters.

The late night guys are so bad. Unfunny, just trying to win a popularity contest. Comedians are supposed to be the court jesters, sticking it to the king. These guys are so Establishment it's nauseating to watch. Sucking up to their masters. The biggest downfall of all, though, has been Howard Stern. What a suckup shrew. He's like a scolding old woman.

Pat is just another CYA loud-mouth. He has not picked Michigan to win any of their biggest games this year and has sided with the "they are cheaters" side. If Michigan would have lost He would be right back at it. For those who like him fine but to me he is simply a flavor-of-the-day guy populist.

Isn't this pretty much all the media? Michigan Insider is solid. At least I appreciate Sam and the whole crew. But the rest? Woof.

TL;DNR Cool story bro:

In the 90s I had the opportunity to frequently hang out with one of the coaches on staff. I won't name-drop, but he was like Bo but gritty. Like Harbaugh but with NFL connections. He would discuss the upcoming game, and he was always right about the scheme and almost always right about the result of the game. Then I would listen to the pre-game media, and, wow, no one had any idea what was really going on. Sports media is pure entertainment, and the old National Enquirer was at least as much based on actual knowledge as 99% of what ESPN spits out at us.

He sold his soul to be the next controversial voice at ESPN. He picked against Michigan every chance he could get, enough to show he was being coached to do so. I would much rather have a homer/biased opinion than a fake opinion to draw attention.

I never watched him before but noticed that he was talking about Michigan after the Bama game so stopped to listen. I was somewhat impressed that he said he had not realized how good Michigan was until he was on the sidelines.  They were faster, quicker, bigger than he had realized. He was especially impressed by Blake's jump cut.

Everybody loves a winner. Especially the ESPN mob that has seen wins against Penn State, Ohio State, Iowa, Alabama, and Washington, since carrying the torches of "sign gate".

1. Pat McAfee is not fair, balanced, objective, nor smart. If he says something positive about Michigan that makes me very nervous. He’s a hot-take bullshit artist who occasionally has funny insider stories. If he says that the sky is blue, I’m looking out the window to make sure.

2. Do not let the media types who tried to nail our coffin shut just “oops” their way out of it. The writers and personalities who went into a feeding frenzy when there was blood in the water are NOT clear thinkers, and just because they say positive words now doesn’t undo the damage from before.

3. Talking positive about Michigan NOW drives clicks. Talking negative about Michigan BEFORE drove clicks. If a dude knows nothing about Michigan, and thinks we’re good SOLELY because we dominated the Championship…that tells you how much they pay attention.

4. McAfee works for The Mouse. The Mouse ain’t happy with how McAfee gave Aaron Rodgers a platform that he uses to spout BS conspiracy theories, and this past week graduated to actual slander. The Mouse probably told McAfee “be a sports show”, and this is his attempt.
