Pat McAfee took to his show to call out an ESPN employee for “attempting to sabotage” his show by leaking false information to the media prior to intended release.
McAfee specifically called out ESPN executive Norby Williamson for attempting to sabotage his show.
“Now there are some people actively trying to sabotage us from within ESPN,” McAfee said. “More specifically, I believe, Norby Williamson is the guy who is attempting to sabotage our program. I’m not 100% sure. That is just seemingly the only human who has information and then somehow that information gets leaked, and it’s wrong, and then it sets a narrative of what our show is.”
Here’s a clip of McAfee’s full comments:
