I haven’t watched/listened/absorbed a single moment of any single McAfee show, but I’ll admit I was surprised by how restrained and thoughtful his comments were, even humble in some respects. That’s not at all typical of a wingnut platform. I don’t know anything about McAfee, the athlete or the pod-person. But him noping out on the Rodgers BS is a good idea. You don’t wanna catch whatever Rodgers is afflicted with.
''It felt like maybe lawyers for Disney — which owns both ESPN (McAfee) and ABC (Kimmel) ''
Uh, Disney is run and owned by reich-wing people, something that people like to ignore because of the very false image of Disney as the ''happiest place on earth'' which goes back to Uncle Walt liking Nazis and their ilk - "It's a small Reich after all".
And I would bet you that if Jimmy Kimmel did not make them money, they'd probably replace him with Aaron Rodgers...
The Fox and Guiliani judgements are doing Deity's work. The station lawyers are definitely behind this. It may already be too late if Kimmel decides to sue.
A couple more judgements with nine or ten zeros, and networks may decide to stop hosting these diseased liars in the first place.
In terms of MAGA math, not really. I mean, yeah, Pat COULD ditch the guy who's (partially) causing all his problems but why? There're RATINGS to be had! /sarcasm
So how has A-a-ron managed to put that green screen behind himself and *not* end up with Sailor Moon, cats licking their balls, or Cthulhu in the background?
This very show was playing on the Teevee at the bar the hubs and I were eating at last night. Even with the sounds off and the closed caption too far away to read, I could tell it was a dumpster fire of burning stupid.
Ta, Evan. Anti vaxxers can fuck right off into the sun, preferably on one of Musk's pet rockets.
They would be lucky to make it 10 feet off the ground in one of his rockets, but I agree with the sentiment
'After routinely dealing with the backlash, McAfee said, he is “pumped that that is no longer going to be every single Wednesday of my life.”'
"Pumped"? Is that the new "relieved"?
It's the new 'stoked', as I understand it.
Jock speak.
I believe "pumped" means jubilant and /or enthusiastic, in the parlance of people who avoid words exceeding two syllables
He is a sports person, they have their own jargon.
“Note he doesn’t say which massive part of the story.”
“If you can’t be a good example, you’ll just have to be a horrible warning.”
Almost didn’t recognize McAfee in that clip. He was wearing a shirt with sleeves.
I'm sure Aaron will find some right-wing podcast somewhere as his new home. Probably with Joe Rogan or worse.

I'll take that bet!
Of course Haruko Haruhara would! Get on your motor!

Hannity is always looking for new nutjob friends...
Wherever will we get our derp from now?
He's already back. He was on McAfee's show today. But according to the article, they did only talk about sports. So I guess our MAGA ARE learning!

I’ll take “Nutjobs” for $50, Alex.

"Some day, I’ll try and build up enough of a brain to dive into the politics world but that time is nowhere near now."
Well, at least I agree with his conclusion.
Oh if only more of his brethren would adopt that notion.
Brain? Brain? What is brain?
If you have a full time job but you get a boo boo, you get to go on ESPN instead of working.?
