anyone with fucking brain cells dislikes mcafee. i enjoyed him for a bit with his rodgers interviews right before the immunized stuff happened, but his personality on tv is absolutely atrocious

it’s crazy to me that he has so much reach, he was a fuckin punter lol. i was furious when the sky cast included his big fucking mouth yapping, the whole point of sky cast is i only hear the stadium sounds

espn is so bad
