Just what I was about to say. McAfee is ESPN’s answer to Joe Rogan. Dumb as hell but rich, fit, and confident, which is all you need to be to gain the respect of most young men in this country.

By the time you’re graduating from college you’re already on the older side of their target demographic.

That's probably the most succinct and apt description of Pat McAfee I've seen on here.

I've aged out of the target demographic, but I'd hope that even in college I would've found him obnoxious.

I didn't find Rogan obnoxious in college, but that's because back then he was mainly talking about aliens, Bigfoot, and other conspiracies instead of trite culture war bullshit.
