McAfee called out ESPN's head of production Norby Williamson on his program Friday.ESPN host Pat McAfee is still making headlines.

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...
