Pat McAfee is a name that many came to love during his time in the NFL, as a punter with a bold personality.
Since retiring from the NFL, McAfee has dipped his toe into many proverbial waters, his largest adventure being his daily show.
This show has amassed such a following that he was recently approached by ESPN, with the intent of moving his show to their platform.
As he has now announced, the Pat McAfee Show will take place on ESPN, ESPN+, and ESPN’s YouTube channel.
Hello beautiful people…
We appreciate and love you all.. together we’ve truly changed the game.

As the above fans indicate, this announcement has been overwhelmingly positive.
McAfee’s fanbase is only growing, and they have been nothing but supportive of him throughout his various ventures.
Besides this show, McAfee is a strong figure on College Gameday, something he is said to continue, at least in 2023.
He is also a prominent member of the WWE, both with broadcasting duties, and the occasional mat appearance as well.
Because of his different ventures, McAfee has become a large part of the cultural zeitgeist, at least in the sports world.
The one question that fans have been asking is if the show will change, now that will be a part of the ESPN network.
As McAfee contends, the only thing that will change his propensity to swear, which he has vowed to work on.
