Arr, after the fierce clash betwixt Aaron Rodgers and Jimmy Kimmel on the ship of Pat McAfee, the media mate proclaimed he be "canceled by both scallywags."
Pat McAfee recently found himself in some trouble after one of his famous guests, Aaron Rodgers, made a controversial comment on McAfee's show. Rodgers insinuated that Jimmy Kimmel should be worried about the potential release of the Jeffrey Epstein client list, suggesting that Kimmel's name might be on it. McAfee didn't help matters when he accused ESPN executive Norby Williamson of sabotaging him and his show, calling him a "rat." This led to a heated debate between the supporters of Rodgers and Kimmel, with McAfee claiming that he was "canceled by both parties" as a result.During a discussion about Martin Luther King Jr. Day, McAfee mentioned the upcoming election and stated that Dr. King's dream is "coming to fruition." He emphasized the importance of unity and love, especially in the face of external attempts to divide people. McAfee reflected on being canceled by both political parties and expressed gratitude for the support of those with good intentions.
McAfee, a former Indianapolis Colts punter, acknowledged that the comments made by Rodgers were meant as a joke and apologized for being involved in the ensuing drama. ESPN issued an apology for Rodgers' comment about Kimmel, describing it as a "dumb and factually inaccurate joke."
In addition to his show, McAfee also started co-hosting "College GameDay" in September and recently signed an $85 million deal with ESPN. Despite the controversies, McAfee aims to maintain an uplifting and fun atmosphere on his show.
