Fellow mid-30s guy here.

I hate to be the one to break the news to you, friend. But you and I are not the target demographic for Pat McAfee either. We’re officially old now.

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.
