Like you said, simple solution, do not watch it. Gameday is the highest rated show on Saturday morning, I like getting up and watching it for 3 hours before the games start.
You know PickSix you really have to be an *******, dumbing a post that was made over 2 months ago, Oct. 21st to be exact. But you be you.

Yeah, I think they’re both finding that he’s far more polarizing and less of a slam dunk in popularity than they expected. Follow the CFB subreddit and here for about a 75% hate vs 25% like ratio. Personally I hate his schtick but I understand why others like him. I think more people moved to Fox on Saturday mornings than they expected as well.

This is exactly why ESPN may be scared…

Man, if you’re losing in the ratings to Colin frickin’ Cowherd and his front running, big brand loving @ss, you do have problems.

Personally I don’t know how McAfee can’t afford shirts with sleeves considering all the ESPN money he’s making.

This part is telling…

Since the inception of McAfee’s show on ESPN in the fall, Stephen A. Smith and “First Take” are handing McAfee a 583,000 viewer lead-in, and McAfee is maintaining just 302,000, which is a 48 percent drop.

As compared to the same window last year, which featured “SportsCenter,” McAfee is down 12 percent. On FS1, Colin Cowherd’s show has nearly beaten McAfee on some days and saw 19 percent growth from last year to average 156,000 viewers.
Ok, but how many people are taking in PM by other means? I don't know if First Take has a podcast or any other avenue but I imagine they start and end their audience with TV and PM doesn't.

I don't know what they're looking for then because that things been all over the place the last few days.

Game day loves them some feel good stories. To have Pat interrupt one of those and bring light on the potentially sensitive meaning behind that acronym isn’t the feel good story they were looking for.

And furthermore, I don’t think Reece appreciated how it was done either. That wasn’t a guest on the PM show, he was the host of Gameday.

Pat never misses a chance to hog the spotlight.

What's the feel good story? It's hardly unique for someone to prove a previous coach wrong.

Listen they put that segment in and if Pat, Joey, and Desmond were the only guys who knew what was going on and everyone just expected everyone to buy that corny ****, that's on them. I guess I'll defer to the two black guys on whether the situation was funny or sensitive.

3 hours before then football all day and all night? Are you a bachelor or divorced?

Kimmel had a pretty good takedown of Rodgers, although could be the mouse just trying to get more people to tune into McAfee for the Rodgers response

What’s with Herby bringing his dog to the natty broadcast?
His dog, Ben, has kind of become a minor celebrity on social media. He always travels with Herby to wherever Gameday is and to whatever game city Herby is doing afterwards. Pictures of him sleeping on private jet seats are adorable.

Ah, yes. Only private jets for the $10 million man.
