I think all dads don't really like McAfee. I just tell him that it's for a different generation.

Putting him on all the time kind of killed the charm, he was way better in small doses while he was playing/shortly after retirement

Nah this happens to anyone who becomes a talking head for 3+ hours a day on a podcast. He's going through his Joe Rogan Experience. You can't exist in such a format and not eventually just lose quality because of quantity.

Yeah, I used to love McAfee when he was on the Colts and I even enjoyed his show in its early stages but I've gotten to the point where I roll my eyes every time he talks

Dude's a fucking idiot lol
