Zaire Franklin says that Pat Mcafee is gaslighting the fans

1. Pat McAfee is a frat bro pushing 40.

2. He’s right tho. Pat Mcafee was beyond wishy Washy on the situation. Pat Mcafee as much as I love him is acts like a complete child.

3. I love Pat as a player but I hate his podcast/media personality.

4. Preach it Franklin. He is so right. The knee jerk flip flopping is out of control, especially with the ear of an impulsive owner.

5. Celebrity boxing match Zaire vs Pat, who y’all got??

6. I mean yeah Zaire is right but that’s not really how TV works. Those guys are dramatic bc that’s what gets viewers and therefore $$.

7. But this clip doesn’t mention Pat Mcaffee?

   Sure, you could claim this is about him, but on a post about honesty in reporting, maybe we shouldn’t make up headlines?

8. Neither of these dudes are very intelligent, if we’re being honest*. And I love me some Pat McAfee.

   *Edit because it wasn’t clear, I’m talking about Pat and Zaire.

9. I mean, Pat just admitted he was wrong, that’s it?

   Plus, they make it clear that the show is purely for entertainment and should not be taken too seriously.

   That being said, they definitely buried AR the Monday after the tapout lol

10. You’ll always see Pat look around the room when making these comments, like he’s not even sure what he’s saying and looking for validation. For a pro athlete with legit institutional knowledge, he comes across as flakey surface level dweller. 

11. I don’t care what this dude says in his podcast. He has been invisible on the field. He’s nowhere. Maybe go out and play ball dude.

    (He’s still right though)

12. Fuck McAfee.

13. RNS

14. I love Pat but he’s becoming more and more of a Joe Rogan / Aaron Rodgers kinda guy, imo.

15. As Bob Knight said “there is no greater motivation than ass meeting bench”

16. Pat admits when he’s wrong all the time. And to his defense, they are self proclaimed slap dicks. So yeah, gotta take their commentary with a grain of salt.

17. He changed sides more than fans on social media.

18. Love pat, Zaire is spot on here .

19. Nah. First off Pat admitted when he was wrong. Also his show is at noon. Which means all the talking heads that Monday had already talked their shit about the AR situation. All the local media had already talked their shit. He wasn’t the first one. Just the loudest. Pat has worn the shoe. He’s played in the winning era, he’s played in the suck era. He’s earned the right to put the organization on blast more than every talking head other than Saturday. Because he’s worn the shoe. Even D-But was agreeing. Ya’ll forget he’s a retired football player. Players don’t want to “tank” or “experiment” they want to win.

    He obviously got under some of ya’ll’s skin in that locker room. Good. That means it worked. Just play better, bro. That’s all we ask.

20. Pat is very similar to some of the members of this subreddit. His opinions change periodically, to put it politely. It’s fine. I’m sure we’ve all done it from time to time. I mean, we actively cheered the week after the tapout when Flacco was named starter. That was a huge mistake.

21. Its sport entertainment. Wtf do you want?

22. The more Pat you watch the less you want to watch. Was a fan for a long time but I’ve seen enough. Happy for him and always will be but I just don’t watch anymore unless it’s on gameday.
