Ryan Clark is better than Pat. A lot better and I like Macafee. This is bs.
lol. It’s about math, analytics and eyeballs. Duh.
Can’t stand Mcafee, talk about a tool and a clown.
ESPN could fire their entire staff and they still won’t have fired a single worthwhile journalist. 🤷♂️
I’m a nobody to ya but even I can tell you that you took the easy/lazy narrative, clearly don’t watch sports show or even sports, and for sure don’t understand business!😂😩 Stop following the easy narrative for attention it’s gross at this point guy💀.
Hypothetical example, if Joe Borrow got a $60 milli deal and they cut a WR you liked from the team, are you gonna blame Joe and say it’s his fault? or the team itself? Obvious response is the TEAM numb sack! Blame ESPN people in charge if care that much.
Stop bashing Pat for making HIS OWN COMPANY and doing something different and being rewarded for it! Like come on now. You prob don’t even know who actually made the decision to fire him. I don’t see that persons name anywhere. Do ya homework first and don’t just follow the pack of narratives.
ESPN just bought NFL network also too. I don’t see any talk on them huh? That moneys not all Pats, it’s spread through his LARGE team. That he built.
I’ve never felt the need to defind anyone online, but someone that actually understands shit gotta says sum.
Do the math, look at the numbers, and actually think before following the easy narrative. Anyone can do that.
It’s messed up that ESPN is firing former player out of all people ( my opinion ). I don’t like seeing people get fired, but don’t bash someone for working his ass off and being rewarded. Come on now.
Sad to see people lose their job especially ex player analyst’s, but y’all will be watching ESPN tomorrow regardless of what you say😂
ESPN used to be awesome. I used to watch it all the time. I haven’t watched ESPN in years.
