THE SAME DAY ESPN TOUTS PAT MCAFEE'S SUCCESS, HE CALLS OUT ESPN EXEC BY NAME FOR ALLEGEDLY SABOTAGING SHOW

By Steven Fernandes on 2024-01-05 23:59:00

Deadline has an article on Pat McAfee claiming on his show today, that ESPN executive Norby Williamson was part of a group "actively trying to sabotage" his show from within ESPN. 

Deadline reported McAfee's comments as follows:

“We’re very appreciative, and we understand that more people are watching this show than ever before.  We’re very thankful for the ESPN folks for being very hospitable. Now, there are some people actively trying to sabotage us from within ESPN — more specifically, I believe, Norby Williamson is the guy who is attempting to sabotage our program.  Now, I’m not 100 percent sure. That is just seemingly the only human that has information, and then that information gets leaked, and it’s wrong, and it sets a narrative of what our show is and then are we just gonna combat that from a rat every single time? Somebody tried to get ahead of our actual ratings release with wrong numbers 12 hours beforehand. That’s a sabotage attempt. It’s been happening this entire season from some people who didn’t necessarily love the old addition of The Pat McAfee Show to the ESPN family. There’s a lot of those.”
