I think it does make sense to me that this specific video riled him up so much because it cuts so quickly to what will be McAfee's huge problem in the coming years: he got hired as the funny, younger, less buttoned-up, "cool guy." And it's clear the kids already don't think he's cool.

The wildest part about Pat McAfee's weird comment about the University of Utah is the video that provoked it... *this* is the video that broke him:

I also think the rap album response might have done some unexpectedly harsh psychic damage, underneath the bit of it all I have a suspicion that he started actually believing the bit. Hulk Hogan style. He thought he was that guy, and everyone just laughed at him

And you get right back to the same point as Utah student video. McAfee’s presence works wonders if he’s in on the bit. If you’re laughing when he wants you to laugh. It doesn’t if you’re just laughing at him.

He’ll likely stick long after he’s worn out his welcome with the ESPN tv crowd but he’ll get banished to the podcast hinterlands. Maybe they keep him on College Gameday just to match the show’s atmosphere, but it’s hard to picture the Ridiculousness-style programming he’s got now in 5 years.

He doesn't have another gear. He doesn't have any sort of respectable journo persona to fall back on. He got here because people thought his standup bits about Peyton Manning and getting arrested were funny a decade ago and he kept doubling down.

People getting tired of his schtick is a mortal threat to a guy that got extremely comfortable extremely quickly. He's as much a hack as Stephen A. but without the ability to create anything resembling a cogent point apart from his WWE persona, so he can't even laugh at himself

jfc dude

I spoke to the mom of the 3-year-old soccer star who was left "thinking he did something wrong" after a league official called police "due to a disturbance between parents" The youth sports league said they launched a review and reached out to the family

Kovac absolutely took that no 0-0 home games stat personally with his starting lineup today

Dortmund haven’t had a 0-0 home game in over 140 games (as said by Derek Rae on the broadcast just now) and they also have to come up with stuff for people to not be on their phones. What a time to be alive

Because the game isn’t giving me anything particularly interesting I’m brushing up on Enzo dos Santos, who is surely the first Luxembourgish-Cabo Verdean player to make a Bundesliga squad

*Hits a Stone Cold Stunner on William Henry Drayton* Idk what you did man but I know you did something to deserve this

Scoop from @brettlogiurato.bsky.social: CBS has sold its local election night coverage to DraftKings, stirring more controversy inside the David Ellison-owned company. Details in @status.news: www.status.news/p/cbs-draftk...

I know none of this is going to touch Ellison financially in a way that matters, I can only hope that newsroom becomes such a millstone to everyone they try to bring in when they inevitably hemorrhage talent that he’s going to be forced to hire sycophants that disgust him like Trump has

Just such a massive loss to the gaming world

BioWare, which was once hundreds of employees across three offices, had around 50 staff remaining when EA closed the studio this morning. EA gutted BioWare after the release of Dragon Age: The Veilguard last year, as we reported then: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

The debate over if/why the studio lost its fastball in recent years is complicated to say the least, but to see it go out on a game that wasn’t even bad and just got culture-warred to death is so, so shitty

Clocking for another day at the unserious factory

If the lead singer of the hardcore band looks like Snaves 15 years ago, you’re gonna die in that pit

McKenzie put her number in my (flip) phone when I wasn't looking, then when I didn't text her after a week because I didn't realize I had it, she took my phone more obviously and pretended to put her number in it again. What had I done? Talked about music and was nice to her

Kim McCauley@kimischilling.bsky.social

"They" don't want you to know you can pull a baddie just by being a nice person

She’s making incredibly demented and cool things and she’s the greatest to ever do it, if you pay money for physical art installation stuff or makeup or whatever you should pay it to her

Made a whole Josh Allen And1 mixtape clip last week and it’s already hopelessly out of date

Reheating soup for lunch: 1. Soup is arguably better 2. Zero prep time 3. Can spend the extra lunch break time putting the finishing touches on an extremely important video
