Pat McAfee, while appearing on his ESPN show he’s receiving $85 million to host, claimed he’s canceled. And he said this on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. In the latest example of McAfee bringing criticism to his show – and this one somehow did not involve any conspiracy theories from Aaron Rodgers – the host of the self-titled “The Pat McAfee Show” went on a bizarre rant Monday that was met with head-scratching by some in the media. Here’s the full transcript of McAfee’s remarks: “Obviously, it is Martin Luther King Jr. Day. He had a dream. And I think...

Even Pat McAfee has had enough of the Aaron Rodgers drama. The ESPN host announced at the start of “The Pat McAfee Show” on Wednesday that the Jets quarterback has made his final appearance of the season. “There will be a lot of people who are happy with that, myself included to be honest with you,” McAfee said. “The way it ended, it got really loud. I am happy that he’s not going to be in my mentions going forward, which is great news.” Rodgers was originally scheduled to appear throughout the playoffs, The Post’s Andrew Marchand reported.

McAfee called out ESPN's head of production Norby Williamson on his program Friday.ESPN host Pat McAfee is still making headlines. Just days after he apologized when Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers made an unfounded claim about ABC late night host Jimmy Kimmel, McAfee himself took aim at a top ESPN executive who he believes is “attempting to sabotage” his show. McAfee on Friday called out Norby Williamson, a four decade veteran of ESPN and its executive editor and head of event and studio production, alleging that the executive leaked negative ratings information. It is not clear what specifically McAfee was referring...

Pat McAfee is clearing some things up after comments made by Aaron Rodgers on The Pat McAfee Show that linked Jimmy Kimmel to the Jeffrey Epstein list of associates.

The sports commentator said that he and his staff had been “free wheeling” after coverage of the Rose Bowl, taking note that his show doesn’t have a format and “there is an opportunity to talk about damn near everything for three and a half hours.”

Pat McAfee couldn’t foresee his audience hating the move to ESPN … really? As McAfee’s eponymous show transitions to becoming part of the Worldwide Leader in Woke, the ex-NFL player wonders why so many people are mad at the move. After all, for a show that prides itself in saying whatever the (eff) they want on the radio, moving to one of the most censored platforms in sports perhaps doesn’t come off as the brightest idea. But money talks. On Thursday’s episode of “The Pat McAfee Show,” the host gave his thoughts on the backlash he’s received for deciding to...

The multi-million-dollar welfare scam in Mississippi is an onion with many levels. Some have been explored. Some haven’t. Now, some may be stopping others from the effort to keep peeling.

You guys know he lost, right? Representative Liz Cheney (R., Wyo.) is (probably) being pushed out of her leadership position, most likely in favor of Representative Elise Stefanik (R., N.Y.), because Representative Cheney is insufficiently Trump-loving and Stefanik is superabundantly Trump-loving. It’s that familiar Republican strategy: a purge for unity. House minority leader Kevin McCarthy (R., Calif.) and other like-minded Republicans complain that it will be difficult for Cheney to do her job effectively in the current political environment, meaning the infantile emotional climate in which some number of Republicans stamp their feet and hold their breath like Veruca Salt...
