I thought he was nuts when he retired "early" to go into sports media, but he has really found a footing and does well.

I still find AJ Hawks weird head disturbing when I watch clips of pats show.

I would hate to see McAfee go to a network. They would put a harness on him and he wouldn't have the freedom he enjoys now. Add in the fact that he wouldn't be able to talk about the Colts as much and I prefer for Mac to stay where he is. McAfee made a comment once about not wanting to be on a network.

McAfee has 1.84 million subscribers on YouTube right now, that's a shitload of subscribers. He brings on guests who want nothing to do with the main stream networks.

I have discontinued watching network sports talking shows. They pretty much all suck. I come to this forum, a couple of other forums, and YouTube to find out about sports news.

100%. TV talk shows are archaic at this point. Any genre, sports included.

Here's an interesting subject we could spend hours delving into... but instead let's devote a 6-minute segment to it and we need split time between 7 talking heads before we get to the next commercial. Very deep.

probably because the networks would frown on the guy chugging a beer, and standing up, while interviewing a player.

I would add in wearing a beaten down tank top and cussing like a drunken sailor.

Yeah, I actually dont think Pat would want to go to network cause now he can run his show the way he wants...like others said, beer, tank tops, etc.

and there is a huge market for that and proven money in that form of show.

Yeah, McAfee is the Howard Stern of NFL reporting. Networks will stick their noses up in the air to his brand of show and he would tell them to stick up their asses if they wanted to sign him and change his format.
