PBD the Titanic has seen the iceberg or maybe even hit it, but they haven't sank yet.

Pat went to espn for the licensing deal. Does everyone forget the demonetization of his KZread episodes because he showed game footage? ESPN gave PMS the ability to expand on segments they do with official game footage.

"you don't need ESPN". Thats absolutely true. Folks, if ESPN closed doors tmr, it would not affect the world in the least.

Pat is by far one of my favorite humans!!!!! Been watchin his pod since he was doin it in the box truck 😂

ESPN made $16 billion top line revenue in 2022. If that is not big league then i don’t know what is.

Simple. Espn paid McAfee for his audience. McAfee is the power broker not espn. McAfee takes his audience with him when he leaves and Espn knows it. 🤣

Adam is right ESPN is the big leagues (for sports broadcasting anyways). Until extremely recently ESPN was the most well known and respected sports broadcasting company in the US. McAfee took the deal because he got a fat paycheck, the stability of being tied to an institution, and he respects/respected ESPN. The confusion is that saying ESPN is the big league implies that Pat needs ESPN and not vice versa. McAfee grew up watching ESPN, they are owned by Disney, they are the biggest fish in the pond. That fish is dying now tho lol

Amazing how money will make many people do things they probably never would..It temporarily blinded Pat..Reality is setting back in and he's probably finally starting to realize he sold out..

There is no morals in America when it comes to money. It runs in our genes. It's been indoctrinated into us.

I just read a report that McAfee will not have Aaron Rodgers on his show as a guest. Sounds like McAfee took the money and caved to ESPN 🤷🏻‍♂️😂

Also Pat took less money from ESPN and was getting more from his deal with Fan Dual. He went to ESPN for the exposure and reach ESPN has.

Sometimes Adam can be incredibly dense with huge blind spots

ESPN is dead. It's 80s corporate media. It's boring now. And McAfee is just loud but he's tiring. He's the ADD American that would be on Aderyl.

ESPN is not the big leagues any longer. It was 10 plus years ago. The only reason they still maintain their positions is it's constantly on at bars and bozos like you watch it.

I really Like Adam He always Gives logic To vinnie and actually plays both sides

If ESPN isn't the big leagues then how were they able to buy Pat?

This was so great. From everyone. Hilarious 👏

I don’t think Adam realises that pat left a 120m deal with fan duel to go to espn. Also ESPN doesn’t own the show, they license it from Pat. Pat is very nostalgic about ESPN, he wants to try and bring them back to former glory.

If ESPN went off the air tomorrow, I wouldn't know about it for 2 years.

You are right. He never has anything original, insightful, or interesting to say. He is boring and predictable. Why Patrick has him on the show is a mystery. It is essential to hear both sides of any argument, but Adam is not very good at presenting his side of the argument.

Worst career move I've seen in a minute by McAfee - jumping on a FAST sinking ship

ESPN is the big leagues b/c of the name and past reputation, even though the rating are declining. All things have gone 100% woke - Broadway, Disney World, Hollywood and ESPN, their name still means something, so I agree w. Adam on this one.

Adam is confused again! We're all surprised ... really, we are!

The point is that the whoever leaked the info is anonymous and McAfee could have put the info out anonymously but rather put his name to it.

Patrick was wrong about this. ESPN is still the Big Leagues. If it wasn’t Pat wouldn’t have signed with them. His viewership increased by being on ESPN. Lot of people that didn’t know McAfee know him now. The audience ESPN reaches around the world is huge. Anyone wanting to watch sports or updates will always go to ESPN channel so Patrick’s feelings doesn’t make his statement true. Sometimes Pat’s feelings get in the way of and he makes statements that are not truthful. Adam needs to stick to his guns when he knows he’s right and not get backed down like Pat did to him.
