'We could probably argue that the five or six most powerful on-camera people in ESPN history all work at the network right now.' bryancurtis and benjstrauss break down Pat McAfee's move to ESPN with RichardDeitsch:
on Pat McAfee’s show. Obviously, ESPN likes when it can make the news and cover the news and contain the news cycle within all of ESPN’s platforms. He’s made a lot of news on that show.You know, it’s funny because he is not a reporter with a capital R or journalist with a capital J, but he’s very, very savvy about the media. I think that’s probably an underrated aspect of him. I’ll go on Twitter on a morning when the No.
The only downside I see is, yeah, he’s got to deal with some people who believe he sold out to ESPN. So this leads me to this: Will ESPN change McAfee? I don’t think you pay that much money unless you’re paying for what he is. Secondly, he’s not an overtly political person. In terms of downside risk for the McAfee group, I don’t think there’s any. How do you guys see this?I totally agree with you. He just doesn’t have interest in that kind of stuff.
McAfee has been able to have anybody he’s wanted as a guest, including major competitors of ESPN. Ian Rapoport, a competitor of Adam Schefter, is on McAfee’s show a lot and has hosted the show. Shams Charania, who works forand other entities, is a big competitor of Adrian Wojnarowski. Fox Sports and Amazon Sports staffers have been on McAfee, and the list goes.
